The Week On Thread: Episode 16 with highlights in photos of some the things I’ve been up to and enjoying this week at fashion events, beauty launches, and more.
I was in the Sunday Star Times newspaper with Cinderella of Disney On Ice from their High Tea held at Sofitel Auckland, where guests with small people in tow got the incredible chance to meet the Disney On Ice princess ahead of the Auckland ice show. Photo by Carmen Bird Photography.
I’m loving my Lululemon Silverescent top with silver fibres to stop bacteria and be stink-free! Amazing tech and super comfortable and looks great, too.
On Monday, I headed over in the rain to Cox’s Bay Scout Hall for the Kmart summer interiors and homewares launch and morning tea. Lots of homewares bargains and Instagrammable delights in store.
On Wednesday, I attended new season fashion previews for three big retailers: Number One Shoes, The Warehouse, and Seed Heritage.
The most elegant invite of the week was the Number One Shoes luncheon at Pilkington’s where we heard from the top buyers on key trends in footwear and had an amazing lunch. Loving the Limited Edition leather brand summer styles you can glimpse on the card.
Viewing the summer season shoes at Number One Shoes – these are genuine leather and pony skin (cowhide) called Limited Edition.
Doing my duty to services to fashion and consuming far too many Little & Friday marshmellows and Storm & India teas, at Hustle & Bustle showroom viewing Seed Heritage spring.
Some of the cutest kids wear out is at Seed Heritage – you have to check it out in their beautiful Ponsonby store.
We saw some pretty spring colours of Rose & Thorne lingerie at The Warehouse spring launch, themed as a garden party, in GridAKL on Halsey Street, with blossoms hanging from the ceiling, and yummy snacks that made me feel like summer was finally on its way. A big deal for The Warehouse is the Star Wars merch coming ahead of the Star Wars movie this December – and I was pleased to hear they have Jedi robes coming for the guys! What fun.

On Thursday we headed to ASB Showgrounds in Ellerslie for the Food Show, to see the latest and greatest in everything food (and coffee, and wine, and more.)
Beautiful flowers by Miss Blossom florist came with a customised skincare package from Jurlique with gorgeous botanical formulations and divine florals.
How cute is this new natural cardboard and gold stationery range called Uniti from Warehouse Stationery? It looks far more expensive than it is, with prices starting around $3.99. There are folders, organisers, journals, desk jotters, planners, keyboard notepads, and everything else you need to stylishly organise your life.
