This is what my day is like for anyone curious: this drink was my lunch. Thankyou Erin for the red berry Sparkling Oh, as I choose Hideseekers and Boohoo fashion samples, with the very lovely @erinberr at @beat_nz fashion showroom.

Some puppy love for you- the completely divine Louis of @lilyandlouis PR showroom and gorgeous ballet flats of Jacqui Ansin. Thanks for the hydrangeas!

I headed into Rialto Cinemas Newmarket for the film screening of award-winning Japanese film ‘An.’ The story of the friendship that grows between a red bean pancake stall holder and an elderly woman who begins working there will more you. I highly recommend it; it will stay in your heart; or, in Japanese: Zehi osusume shimasu. Kokoro ni nokorimasu. This gentle yet deep drama, directed by Naomi Kawase, will open in NZ cinemas on March 17th. 

On Sunday night at Waitangi weekend, I was lucky to be invited to the New Zealand premiere of the new Marvel movie, Deadpool. It’s really hilarious and breaks the ‘fourth wall’ (i.e. talks to the screen as though the camera is the fourth wall in the room) and has hundreds of in-jokes and references, especially if you’re over 30. The ‘origin scene’ where Deadpool is created from a mercenary (hence his nickname, Merc with the Mouth) dying of cancer and rebuilt as invincible was pretty gruesome and I couldn’t watch any of it. The storyline is pretty light – mostly his creation and then a kidnapping rescue with a couple of X-men helping – but it’s the humour that keeps it refreshing and new.

See you next week!
