In The Week On Thread Episode 118, the eighteenth column of 2018, I showcase some pics of highlights in photos of what I’ve been doing in late August 2018. It’s the highlights from my Instagram, which you can follow over at www.instagram.com/threadnz to see daily updates and what’s new.
The Week On Thread Episode 118
Today I’m in K Road helping the lovely Lauren @kittengloves from @kroadnzshop for outfits for Fashion Week @nzfashionwk. But first, tempura at Renkon.
Trying on the printed denim jacket by emerging New Zealand fashion designer Courtney Pellow, in her K Road showroom.
Enjoying the new Georgio Armani beauty from Smith and Caughey’s Queen Street.
Holding a dinner party? Don’t want to cook? Want to take the stress out by hiring someone to take care of the meals? Then don’t call us. Melissa and I will just show up and drink your wine. Just kidding, we are actually at Farro Mt Eden to create pastries with I Love Pies and Chef Nici Wickes.
A pleasure to meet the team behind Essano, a HUGE New Zealand success story. They started 16 years or so ago with Primal Earth and Dominate haircare as they had a background in hairdressing, then launched Essano Rosehip, and now Essano skincare is the number one TOP selling natural skincare in NZ supermarkets. Incredibly, it’s no.4 overall in grocery, behind international mega brands Olay, L’Oréal and Nivea. The team is holding a box of today’s brand new range launch, Essano superfoods.
The big reveal: the brand new essano superfoods line. I especially like that it’s made here in Auckland New Zealand, priced low and sold at supermarkets, is EcoCert certified, and contains powerful active superfoods such as kale, and Turmeric. Beauty media heard about the new range today over the delicious breakfast by Little Bird Organics cooked live in front of us, containing the superfoods used in the products. I’ll be so healthy, inside and out!
Michiko and I on tippy toes around Wilhemina 🙂 We had a fantastic catch up with the gorgeous women at Trilogy Headquarters at the Viaduct (how cool is their building? LOVE) over treats from @bluebellscakery hearing about their exciting upcoming new products. Fabulous to hear that Trilogy are in the famous US beauty store Ulta with a million dollar sale, as the trend for natural beauty continues apace. Go Trilogy!! I know Americans will adore you as much as I do! Another highlight was seeing their new ‘Look Forward’ campaign about taking the aging out of antiaging, starring the beautiful @bohrunga and 3 Australian women.
Last night’s glam party for the launch of Elizabeth Arden #Myfifthavenuefragrance at Hilton Auckland with @radiomum @michikohylands@nikkilovrich @zeenatwilkinson@thebestnest. The dresscode of black and gold had everybody sparkling all night- even the gin cocktails had gold dust around the tops, which decorated a few frocks! We all got our names or initials engraved on the beautiful My Fifth Avenue glass bottles at a live engraving station. Thankyou to Tina and the gorgeous team at @elizabetharden New Zealand for a fabulous night. My dress by @trelisecooper, neckpiece by @lovisa, headband @karenwalker, and shoes by @unitednude
Today I had the incredible chance to see the cast of Chicago musical perform on stage at the Civic and take these photos. How gorgeous are they!? You can book to go see the show at Civic Theatre Auckland now!
