Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 14 May 2013I went to the dentist last week; not exactly my favourite thing to do but it's one of those things that just has to be done. Being the responsible adult that I am, I realised I was well overdue for a check up, clean and polish - something that should be an annual occurrence but it's not (well, not for me anyway). So all in all, I walked away without the need to return for fillings and my... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 7 May 2013I’m sure most of you are aware that it is Mother's Day this Sunday and I’m sure you will have organised an outing perhaps involving lunch, brunch or high tea to celebrate this special day. Many of my friends with young children have said they just want a sleep in, enjoy some breakfast in bed and a little peace and quiet two! So, I’m guessing this translates to dads waking... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 30 April 2013I had a great time in Sydney last week having almost forgotten what a vibrant city it is. Over the years I’ve lived in both Sydney and Melbourne and it really is a tough decision as to which city I’d prefer to reside. This topic is one of heated debate with many people I’ve spoken to standing strong in their chosen place. Personally, I’m a little undecided. There are... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 23 April 2013We've had a few days off here at the FashioNZ office while the boss has been away in Sydney - just kidding! It’s strange, we seem to be particularly busy in Petrina’s absence. Perhaps it is the lengthy, "to do" list she left to keep us out of trouble or perhaps, it’s because there is just so much happening at the moment – who knows? So what’s in... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 16 April 2013I'm a little bit excited this week as I'm counting down to spending a lovely, long weekend over the ditch in Sydney. There's no grand event or fashion affair to attend, I’m going over to kick back and hang out with two of my siblings who now call Australia home. It seems times between visiting each other grow longer and longer as we’re always busy being busy, so as you can... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 9 April 2013Last week was Wellington Fashion Week and what an amazing event it appeared to be. Unfortunately, I could not make it down there but I was kept up to date with everything that was happening. Everyone seemed to be having a super time enjoying all the New Zealand designers on show as well as taking the capital by storm. And although I couldn’t make it, FashioNZ has been lucky enough... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 2 April 2013I hope you all had a great Easter Break, four days' break is such a tease that I was off to a bit of a slow start this morning. But the more I think about it, the more I've found over the past few weeks that it's really, really tough to get out of bed in the morning. When that dreaded sqwark of the alarm goes off I can’t believe how dark it is outside. My body actually goes into a... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 26 March 2013There's a big colour trend coming through this winter which, I have to say, I'm quickly warming too and, which, no doubt I'll be wearing in the not too distant future. After leaving school I swore I’d never wear the colour burgundy again, so as not to be reminded of the scratchy woollen blazer I wore everyday during my high school years. When I left, I was very grateful that for many... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 19 March 2013Wow, I can't believe it is Easter next weekend. Where has the year gone? I'll be resisting the urge to over-indulge in chocolate this year although, in my defence, it really is impossible to eat JUST the ears off an easter bunny. Clearly I have a few will-power issues to overcome; we’ll leave those as a work in progress. Instead, I’ll focus on all the fab things we have for you... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 12 March 2013It's so easy to get caught up in the here and now, I do this all the time and often, with a thousand things on the go, I naturally adopt an 'out sight, out of mind' mentality. With this sudden new-found awareness, I realise there is so much happening on the fashion front across the country which I’m not that in tune with. Of course, we love fabulous events such as Wellington Fashion... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 5 March 2013I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who wished me well last week. It all went well and, even though I'm a little swollen and sore, I'm well on my way to a full recovery. My wallet, however, has been diagnosed with a serious case of the ‘empties’! I’m currently on the waiting list for treatment and hoping it won’t be long until I receive a cash injection,... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 26 February 2013I'm keeping it brief this week as I'm a little distracted by a looming appointment with an oral surgeon to finally have my wisdom teeth removed – yikes! It will be amazing to finally be rid of them. They’ve been teasing me for years; trying to burst through so, I’m welcoming the chance to say, "Adios amigos." I’ve opted for the twilight sleep-over, the... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 19 February 2013I'm really looking forward to the week ahead. so far this February, it has been crazy-busy with launches, media days and more launches and, as much as I enjoy attending them, I’m looking forward to having a quiet few days before it all starts again next week. One launch that we felt lucky to be invited to was that of the Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy range, whose brand... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 12 February 2013Have you ever rummaged through the bottom of your wardrobe and found items you had completely forgotten owning? Yes, yes, I’m guilty of this. It happens all the time but what I find to be quite hilarious are the other things that seem to reappear at the same time. In my case, the wardrobe floor holds the missing piece to many an unsolved mystery. On a recent dig (as I like to... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 5 February 2013I was pretty happy to find a small parcel on my desk this morning which contained some good old Girl Guide Biscuits. It's strange to realise that these have been around for as long as I can remember and I'm really pleased they still are. I, unfortunately, was never a Girl Guide, not really sure why as I seemed to be quite taken with their baked goods – perhaps this is a question to ask... read more |
