Spring is starting to makes its presence felt, and the daffodils and tulips are out! So it’s time to air out those items that have remained in your summer wardrobe and collect a few new springs essentials.

First, treat yourself to a steaming cup of lemon and ginger tea: boiling water poured over a few shaves of fresh ginger root and a good squeeze of lemon… and a dash of golden liquid honey for those who desire it.

Feeling refreshed and energised, open your wardrobe.

• Now, if you were asked to a friendly BBQ tomorrow night, what would you wear? You need that great knit summer dress that works with leggings and flats or boots in case of a chill in the evening air.
  • SOLUTION: check out the taylor Contrary Dress or Knotted Capsule tunic for great easy summer dresses or the Covetted Dress for something a touch dressier but still easy in the knit.

• How do your jeans look? Ensure they are are still presentable and haven’t got that “I am a little too loved” or “have been through the wash one too many times” look. 
  • SOLUTION: check out our fabulous Red Engine denim for great fit, flattering shapes and a denim that is so soft it doesn’t need to be broken in. Check out the great White Lotus Cropt Jeans that layer fabulously under a tunic or work with a  simple teeshirt.

• How is your favourite t-shirt? Is the white still white? Make sure it hasn’t discoloured or got those unsightly sun-screened edges.
  • SOLUTION: check out the fabulous range of organic cotton Skinny Nelson T-shirts, Tanks and great knit dresses.

• What about that Summer Christmas Party- what will you wear? Nothing makes the party season more fun that a great new dress or pair of heels.
  • SOLUTION: The best summer dress is the Turmoil Dress. It comes in colours or simple cream, fogged brown or black, and can be dressed up with heels or stay casual with leggings and ballet flats. I wore this dress to a birthday lunch last week and even the restaurant owner commented on how fabulous my dress was!

  •  To have something really special try our Strata Dress. It doesn’t cling or touch, it just has very special X factor…

Get a great new summer scent – Marc Jacobs Daisy is the epitome of summer…

Have fun and enjoy your spring time events with a fresh approach and a few new pieces!

We have just had a photographer for a leading New Zealand design magazine come through our store and look at these divine shots that they’ve let us show early. Make sure you see the next issue of Urbis magazine on sale end November to see more of these gorgeous shots!

I must give a huge thanks to our amazing Wellington Builder Steven Kilduff from Kilduff building who has worked tirelessly and outside of retail working hours on our new shop fit, and the great metal workers at design steel who have worked with me to produce our steel wardrobes and wall coverings. They turned my vision into reality with the fabulous 24 cupboard steel unit (with even aged looking hinges and individually made pin closures) that sits behind our counter.
