In The Week On Thread Episode 126, the twenty-sixth column of 2018, I showcase some pics of highlights in photos of what I’ve been doing in late November, mostly around Auckland. 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 126
My birthday pressies from lovely friends last Saturday- looks like I’ll be doing some good reading.
Having a play with the new MAC Patrick Starrr Slay Ride holiday collection! It’s the fifth and final MAC cosmetics colab between the two and it comes in festive packaging so you can dazzle everyone this season.
WHITE Fitbit Versa- so lovely and crisp for summer! Hoping to get my steps up now the weather is playing along. What is everyone doing for exercise at the moment? I can always do with some more motivation 🙂
A lovely little mojito making kit in a box of jungle leaves is turning this corner of my garden into a little bar oasis.
The most BEAUTIFUL hampers for Christmas at Sabato, who are celebrating 25 years, and have divine Italian treats such as Panettone and chocolates. Available at @sabatonz
New favourite food store alert! In my happy place, surrounded by piles of Christmas food, at Sabato. There’s a sale on right now too! The luscious store, celebrating its 25th birthday, has beautiful convenient foods to create amazing meals with and I had a tour today with owner Jacqui including her own 30 year old Christmas mince pie recipe and the chardonnay vinegar invented by her daughter. All shoppers get a free flat white while they shop and lots of yummy samples to taste around the store.
Has anyone hit the #blackfriday sales today? Benefit Cosmetics has 20% off today excluding sets, plus free cosmetic bag with purchase of 2 products. I just had a fab brow wax and tint at Benefit Smith and Caughey’s Newmarket with Benebabe Charlotte.
Yummy and easy Italian style dinner of bacon and mushroom pasta tonight and rose wine by Graham Norton for Invivo.
Who likes a lavender look? I feel it’s so fresh, and goes with everything from neutrals to denim. Essie Sittin Pretty on my nails today, with my freshly blooming hydrangeas from my garden.
My bathroom renovation in my 1911 Auckland home is on the blog now at www.threadnz.com with before and after pictures.
At Blaze salon having a fresh colour…stand by for pics.
Fresh new hair, la la la la! That’s my happy song, at Blaze salon. Here’s my AFTER pic! Haircolour by Ann @annvhair
Putting all my eggs in one basket with these unsolicited deck pics…of a lovely Christmas eggnog hamper delivery from Otaika Valley! It’s such a great New Zealand brand and I only buy free range myself as I think it’s so important to think about where our food comes from. This is my new-ish deck by the way and if you zoom in, that tiny yellow flower is my daughter’s first sunflower grown from little garden seeds so we are very proud: it’s like my flower grandchild.
