Red or Blue it's up to you 🌹🌹
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
I'm choosing Red as Spring love begins. My Red Rhododendron has burst into bright colour and it's the perfect “wake up to view” from the Kitchen window… I'm so glad there's Red in the Spring/Summer Season clothing too! We've been unpacking and sorting lots of new stock this past week, Tops, Skirts, Pants and Dresses, not to mention Shoes😍. I've gone bold with some prints and love that I could get colours to match back, getting that perfect mix and match wardrobe. All the planning when I'm buying for the shop is coming together now it's all arriving. Its when...

Care for a bit of Zest in your day? 🍋🍊

Just when the Citrus Trees are bursting we have a little citrusy zest in the shop too! Its time for some colour… and I couldn’t be more ready. Blackstone Garments arrived this week and there's a happy visual Citrus Story in their tops, and the promise of a bright spring arrived with them. We’ve got them ready to share with you online or in store… and while the season changes team them with our Vassalli Denim jackets or the Sew Me Trench coat - (a Trench Coat is always in Style, and ours has a wee zest of colour thru...

What a mixed bag of weather we’re having! Saturday we biked the Hauraki trail in the sunshine and today it's bleak and wet… Thank goodness we have a real mixed bag in at the shop at present too! The lovely Layla striped long line Cardigans are perfect for this time of the year, a pop of colour or the merino long line Cardy that's light weight and warm or the new Vassalli washed blue Denim Jackets that have just arrived… Great for that fresh look to put over everything… Yes, everything!

Baby let your blue jeans talk!
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
I've got a thing about jeans… I've never really wore them until I got the shop and learned about Vassalli jeans and Classified jeans… I'm a pear shape and struggled to fit jeans well. I was super excited to find some distressed jeans (which now we fondly call the haymakers and many of you love these too), they are so amazing that they fit my bootie and my waist but don't make me feel like a sausage squeezed into a skin! Put it this way if I found Jeans to fit me I'm sure we can find Jeans to fit you. Just yesterday...

It's the simple things
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
It's the simple things, right? The rain on the roof (especially when the tanks empty), it's a smile or a wave from someone, It's a cuddle from the cat when you feel like it not her, a please or thank you, the giggle of a child… And nice warm feet! It's that snuggle up time of the year when the glow of a night fire and a great mulled wine or hot chocolate become added to “the simple things to enjoy". I've found another simple thing too - our Columbine merino sox and hosiery, the new merino anklets knee highs...

27 million sheep can't be wrong

They want to shear with you... They have no choice but to wear merino... It's a magic fibre. Many of us can wear it, and for sure I'm a layer it on under everything girl, this season gives us a choice in awesome fashion merino for on top layers, and a couple of options brand and price-wise for under. The merino possum is amazing too, so light, not bulky yet super comforting and warm. As it's been a week of interesting days. The weather has hit overdrive and it's feeling like winter, let's see if we can warm you up......

The Classic piece of clothing or footwear….
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
Some say a jacket. Some say the best pair of pants, a skirt that doesn’t date… This season it’s got to be a great blouse… The boots that take you anywhere…. It’s amazing how a fun fashion piece of clothing in a classic colour will always stand the test of time! This season I’ve loved the jackets. The Vassalli pleather jacket, a classic shape, with the fun element of the embroidery to give it the pop of colour and the twist of fun.

I’ve been thinking about Classic lately. What does classic mean... I took a look Because I noticed we use the term more often now… And when we look at Clothing and Shoes, we sometimes want fun and fast, does that mean it isn’t Classic, I’m glad to say not always!

It's a classic
Posted by FAY HAAKMA
As June’s arrived the Mornings are now dark at 6… and as it becomes light there show all the shades of grey, we know of winter mornings. They become white as the frost settles its bright white sheet on the ground, or the winter white of the fog as a duvet over us, we are heard to mutter “it’s a Classic Waikato Morning”. It took my thoughts to what’s really classic? My immediate thought was Black and White, and that instantly triggered my Granny Cook memories. She absolutely wore Black and White, it didn’t wear her, she was a Classic,...
