Sabine's out of the closet... but not in that way.

Do any of you Aucklanders remember Sabine? She had a little shop on Ponsonby road filled with cute kiwi design that slotted into most peoples wardrobes nicely? Ring a bell? Good. Well, I, like others, was bitterly disappointed when she shut her doors as I so wanted her to grow and see where she could go.

Well lucky for me, and any others, she is back. This time teaming up with Farmers, and with a new Creative Director (Venecia Martin) on board. Here is a sneak peak at some of the incredibly reasonably priced pieces hitting Farmers throughout the coming months.

Column-date.

Love this look.

I cant stop looking at this photo from this great street style blog. It is just the perfect balance of sexy (with that slightly sheer shirt), cute and girly (the blush and bow), man style (rad chinos) and a bit of punk (with the studs and bangles).
  
Never has an outfit so perfectly blended the biggest trends of the season. And never have I wanted to learn how to fishtail plait my hair.

Summer inspiration

An open letter to the midriff.

 

I see you there, sneaking into catwalks, Vogue and hell even celebrity red carpet events. And really I don't think its appropriate, necessary or fair.

  

While you swan in there, carb-free diets, pilate-d up with the tan you picked up from your latest sojourn in the Caribbean, you get all us normal midriffs excited. We think its time to play, time to bare all and be free. But the truth is that our snowy white (positively reflective) slightly rounded and most certainly not toned midriffs have no place out of our shirts, dresses or rad high-wasted pants.

  

Stop taunting us, because as gorgeous and casually cool as you look, you are in the minority, and an army of pasty potbellies will come out. And you don't want that. Nobody wants that.

  

So, slowly button up, pull down those tee shirts (or buy a bigger size) and remain only out on the beaches - and only if you must.

  

That is all.

Summer is in desperate need of these.

While I am on a wish list roll, I am in major love (and of course - desperate need) of the following for my summer wardrobe.

  

 

 

 

Today is drab and dreary but I know this summer is going to be amazing.... so playsuits and cork heeled shoes at the ready!
