It’s almost the end of the year so I thought I’d share my favourite things and best purchases. I was also prompted by questions on my Instagram asking if I recommend something and any gift ideas. This post can be a gift guide in a way, for someone who likes fashion and beauty like me. 🙂

Where I opshop + Tips & Tricks
I’ve done quite a bit of opshopping / thrifting recently to update my winter wardrobe. I found some amazing pieces and when I shared them on Instagram, I got people asking me where I went. It gave me an idea that it’s about time I update the opshops I go to. I thought I’d also add my tips and tricks on opshopping as I’ve been doing this for years.
If you live in Auckland, check out my favourite opshops below.

So a few weeks ago, Laura from lifewithlaura.nz took a few outfit photos of me. I was quite nervous as I am definitely not a model and posing for me is awkward but after a few directions from her, it got better and she managed to take beautiful photos.
I wanted to share the first lot wearing my favourite casual dress.
Postie Fashion
A couple of months ago, I was approached by Postie to check out their range and pick a few outfits. When I did it it was for the autumn/winter season but I still wanted to share what I got because the pieces I chose can also be worn this spring as there are days when it’s still cold. Postie has also released their spring collection so I’ll share a few pieces I’ve been eyeing up from the new range.
The Maxi Dress
Being petite, it is so hard to find a maxi dress that fits me well. Thankfully my sister found this floral maxi dress and I think it’s the one. I love this dress and I’m excited to show it to you today.

Avoca x A Style Collector
Today’s post is a collaboration with Avoca, A NZ brand that offers clothing and accessories made from natural fibres. I was kindly sent a few pieces and I wanted to show how I’ve styled each one in this post.
We’re in the middle of winter now so the pieces I’m featuring are perfect for the chilly weather. They have definitely kept me warm and I know I will be using them a lot this season.

Topshop Beaded Dress OOTD
Today is my birthday and I thought I’d put up my favourite type of post which is an outfit post. I haven’t posted one in a while too.
This outfit is what I wore 2 weeks ago when I went to my boyfriend’s work party. I’ve kept this in my closet for quite some time and I finally had the right occasion to wear it.
The dress is beaded and covers up in the front but it has a surprise at the back. Continue below to see the full outfit details.
Thrifted Black Dress
I have been meaning to post this dress for quite a while but I waited to feature it in a thrift haul first. At long last, it’s here and I’m excited to share it today.
I wore this dress to NZ Fashion Week but styled it differently. Today’s outfit is more dressed up and all the details will be down below.
NZFW: CLEO Presents RUBY & HOLY CHIC
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
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.
