This little leather fingerless glove was a keyring sent me ages ago with the release of Karl Lagerfeld perfume, and I just remembered it today to feature it in a tribute collage to the iconic fashion designer who has passed away age 85.

It's simple Math-MAC-tics... 1 plus 2 equals free! Back 2 MAC lets you swap 3 old MAC products at MAC stands inside @Farmersnz stores until 24th February. I did it myself today at Albany Farmers and you can swap any MAC products such as eyeshadow, blush, lipstick etc so have a clear out and get recycling. Tag a friend below who you think might like to know. Funny story- I actually made this flatlay manually using my son's jigsaw, it's not done on Photoshop haha.

Hugh Jackman, the star of Wolverine and The Greatest Showman, is in Auckland announcing his NZ tour dates for Spetember 2019 and I was very lucky to be invited to the media conference Q&A at AUT South Campus in Manukau to hear Hugh sing as well as hear Keala Settle perform This Is Me, her smash hit from The Greatest Showman. See all my photos of Hugh Jackman in NZ here.

A warm and wonderful highlight this week was seeing Stan Walker perform at Postie 110 Years Party.

A fabulous event in the Glasshouse in Morningside celebrating 110 years of Postie

The talented New Zealand singer songwriter who has come through a helluva year after cancer is an ambassador for Postie wearing menswear in their campaign. His song, THANK YOU, is a lovely tribute to his mother. Not only a great singer and model, he has huge soul and integrity.
