If only...

Ever since the Fruits exhibition came to the Dowse (when it wasn't New), i have been really intrigued by the Japanese style, as has the rest of the world. I'm so envious.
The Hutt is just not somewhere being Fashionable is common, and fashion is simply what the shops are selling, or fat pants and UGG boots. And even if it was, i don't think it would be anywhere near as cool as the Japanese.
i was reading about a Japanese Icon on The Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes, Mademoiselle Yulia. she's a Nylon Japan columnist, a Dj, SInger and jewelry designer. She is also awesome. and i felt like sharing.

but i don't know, would half the things people in Japan wear, be "cool" and fashion forward if it was anywhere else? who knows. but i know i really like Madamemoiselle Yulia.





Ps the headphones she's wearing are the ones Jack is thinking about getting. personally i love them. What do you think?

Deep South Part 2

And that is the photo summary of our South Island Adventure! we snowboarded, shopped, watched skins, ate, explored cities, traveled at all hours of the day, and took in the amazing land. i loved it.
thank you!

The Deep South.. Part One

Moraki Boulders on a grim day.. spending the day in the car lead us to leap out of the car at any chance!




Oamaru, i love the buildings.



Lake Hood: A man made lake in the Middle of Ashburton. mean to be their own "venice", the houses in the area have little jetty's to get onto the water. its apparently very popular in summer.



Our bad asss Leathers. bad ath. heh.



The most vicious and adorable Kitten ever: Paddy! Named because Jack's Grandparents got him on St Patricks day. this poor little guy only has one kidney and was missing a testicle.. then they found it and it was tiny! poor thing. it still doesnt stop him from being able to tear skin and leap meters off the floor.



Christchurch!



The New Brighton Pier, Sadly the town famous sand Artist was not present. i think it was the freezing weather that scared him off.



this was such a fantastic video shop! it reminded me of Empire Records..




Christchurch had all these darling alleyways that had been done up in very creative but rustic ways! it was fantstic.




We stayed in very nice upmarket Backpackers, called Living Space, in both Dunedin and Christchurch, they were very nice and both had great facilities. I definitely recommend them to future travelers.



this was at a delicious Mexican restaurant, Jack and I both stuck to what we know and love best.. Burritos!

all in all, it was a fantastic trip.. but these pictures are just the start! there is more to come :)

Sale day

This morning at the crack of what felt like dawn jack and i got ready to hit up a couple of sales on in Wellington. Due my annoying lack of time, we had a serious time crunch, but i think it also encouraged us to get to the sales early before the good stuff went!
first we stopped into a twentysevennames sale, in a hairdressers.. this was a bit odd and a little disappointing. not much selection and i wanted to save my money for what was up next! the Good as Gold (www.goodasgold.co.nz) sale! it was some sort of collaboration with manual magazine? an almost garage sale, with prints and seconds and printed tee's as well as stock from G.A.G.
Jack and i really enjoyed the sale. not often does this happen, i am usually overwhelmed and get stressed out. but the people were so welcoming and everyone there was so nice, it was great! in the end jack walked away with a tee shirt he'd wanted for ages for $30, and a bandana that was once $110 he got for only $10!
i walked away with a $5 moss projects tee, and a beautiful pair of Keep Shoes! in hot pink and berry plaid.


i love them!





the tee and the shoes comnbined are quite "gangstaah". I'll most likely not wear them together.. though i make no promises.



Funnily enough these shoes are versions of shoes that Jack has!



We're going to be matchy.. it'll be rad. i'm so glad i didn't buy my ones when he did! i was tempted to with a 15% discount, but decided it wasn't a great enough saving for me.

here are some photos we took along the way, i'm always looking out for cool walls..



Digging into my Deluxe Jaffa cupcake



happy sale day!

We are the Superlative Conspiracy

Woah it's been some time.. (Not that there's many people reading this, but oh well!)

So I've just come back from down south, snowboarding in Wanaka, it was good fun, but some little shit walked off with my pretty little headphones and my goggles! But some good has come from this, I get new headphones! So I've been doing my research again! The 'phones that I had stolen were WESC Oboe's (a Swedish company that branched out from clothing to headphones and stuff like that) anyway, I'm hopefully going to get around the same amount of cash back from the insurance that I paid, so I'm thinking that I might pay a bit more and get the level up, the Bongo's, better sound quality and way cooler looks and styles.

So I'm going to include some pictures and videos about the company down the bottom, so tell me what you think of them, I think they're pretty rad, but hey that's just me!
