NZFW: CLEO Presents RUBY & HOLY CHIC

6 Comments

This is my last runway post from NZ Fashion Week. It has been a few weeks already but I still wanted to share this. NYFW is on right now and I could only dream to watch a runway show there.

Anyway, this post is all about the CLEO Presents RUBY/HOLY CHIC/COOP show during the NZ Fashion Weekend. This is a great combination of three wonderful designers. This is the show that was most wearable to me and closest to my style. I loved the clothes I saw and want them all.

NZFW: Resene Designer Selection Show

5 Comments

It has been exactly 2 weeks since I went to NZ Fashion Week and my experience is still fresh in my mind. I have two runway show posts left so if you’re still interested, continue reading.

Today is all about the Resene Designer Selection Show. NZFW is quite exclusive to the fashion industry and delegates only. However, the DSS is open to the public and you can purchase tickets to the show. It was on from Wednesday to Saturday at different times.

It’s a great show to get an overview of the current designer collections. There’s something for everyone and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I watched the show from the front row so I managed to take a lot of photos.

NZFW: RUBY

5 Comments

The last New Zealand Fashion Week show I watched on Thursday was RUBY. It was the only off-site show I watched too and it was in a Wilson Carpark near K Road.

We had to be there early for the NZFW Backstage blog and when we got there, the two top levels of the car park was closed off for the show. It was un unusual place to have a runway but RUBY made it work.

See below for more runway photos.

Thrifting/Op shopping Tips

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

I have been asked multiple times on my “secret” to op shopping. For those that don’t know, thrifting or op shopping is when you go shopping at thrift stores, second-hand shops or charity shops. It has also been popularised by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with their song Thrift Shop. If you haven’t heard of that song, you may have been living under a rock.

So basically, you are looking at pre-loved/second hand items that have mostly been donated by others. I am a serial op shopper. I am obsessed with it (as you can tell from my thrift hauls) and I love the thrill of finding a great pieces for bargain prices.

OOTD: Band Tees

Three weeks ago, my sister and I went to The Script concert at Vector Arena. The Script is our all time favourite band. The first time we watched them was in 2013 for their #3 Tour. This year, they came back to NZ for their No Sound Without Silence Tour.

On both concerts, my sister and I bought their shirts and I thought I’d make an outfit post on how to style them all.

See below for further outfit details and my favourite moments from the concert.
