Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 9 April 2013 Last 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 |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 29 January 2013With most people back at work now - and Auckland traffic back to its snail pace - everyone seems back into the swing of things and ready to advance into 2013. You can imagine it's been a busy time here at the office. FashioNZ contributor Dani McAllen is kicking off the year with the first of her new feature – The 12 must-have items in a woman’s wardrobe. This week she explores... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 22 January 2013I'm not what you'd call a girly girl when it comes to my personal style nor am I a tomboy; I think I slot somewhere in between. And while I love vintage floral and muted tones, I admire these from afar and I tend to stick to a more classic silhouette. In my younger years – yes, I was, perhaps, a little more daring but age and gravity have put a stop to all of that and to be honest I'm in... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 15 January 2013I thought the New Year was a good time to pick through the wardrobe and give it a bit of an overhaul to make room for some new season purchases. And, no, I haven’t won Lotto; I’ve just decided that in the spirit of my resolution to be more organised, this could also apply to my new season purchases as well. How you may ask? Well... Okay, so January is hot and February will be the... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 8 January 2013Welcome 2013! I hope you've had a safe and merry Christmas and a super start to the New Year! Today’s the first day back for me and I’m feeling great. My break was really busy but I somehow managed to maintain a balance of food, wine and sun so I’m thankful I’m not in the need of another holiday to recover from this one. As in previous years January is full of... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 18 December 2012I spent the weekend in the Bay of Plenty and boy what an amazing part of the country it was - sun, surf and Kiwi summer at its finest! I'm now looking forward to doing a lot more of that over the next few weeks; weather permitting, of course. So, with the last official week on us in the FashioNZ office we have loads in store as we say sayonara to 2012! Barkers has been doing some great... read more |
