Wanganui Woolshed

Had a night at the Momma's farm on the Amber and Monica road trip. Checked out the Woolshed which apparently will be where the PARTYING for my sisters wedding will take place come February.

Jacqui, sweets I love you, but there is a WHOLE lotta work required on that Woolshed before you can let people party in it. Awesome venue, smells like sheep...

Puppies

So, I got to dog sit the other weekend. Do you wanna talk about how amazingly cute the puppies I looked after were? Check them out:

This is Chester (brown) and Baxter (black) in their basket. They can't walk down the stairs to the apartment, so you have to carry them in a bag.
Bax having his tummy rubbed down on Mission Bay. Happy puppy.

Sleepy Bax
Sleepy Chester.

Of course, they slept through the day, and fought and barked all night. They are freaking lucky they are so cute or I may have hurt them.

Top off 2 cute pups with a lovely apartment with stunning views:

Pretty much a perfect weekend.

Now these, are shoes

So, Kathryn Wilson had a pretty epic showing at NZFW this year, wish I had been there to see it, but nonetheless, can't have everything my way. Apparently.

As amazing as Kathryn's shoes were, check out the Alexander McQueen shoes on the catwalk this year. Obviously with the very sad passing of Alexander, this is not all his work, instead, Sarah Burton can take the credit. Either way, I think that the McQueen brand is well safe and sound and there will be more McQueen to come.

Now, if I could just afford to buy a pair...

My Geekiness

I always wondered how/why I classified myself as a Geek. Thanks to this venn diagram, I now understand, and think I am correct.

Happy to hear about it if you disagree.

Found thanks to AdrianwithaW.

Hello Wellington, You Sexy Bitch

So, I decided to go to Wellington for my birthday last weekend. I couldn't imagine a birthday without a Fidel's coffee...

First stop off the plane:

Oh SO delicious. And free thanks to the beautiful Christie. What a woman.

Then a walk into Wellington from Karori. Could it have been a more stunning day? Check out the snow dusting on the Rimataka's

I got distracted after this over a bottle of wine and some almonds with the Magnificent Michael. What a doll!

Skip a couple of hours and things got a little dark. It might be hard to tell, but that is a Crazy Horse on that glass. Hot damn - I have never had anything less than a stunning night at CrazyHorse the Steakhouse. It is impecable.
Wine, steak, deliciousness followed by afogato. Amazing.
What is not photographically captured is a 10cent kissing party, Mighty Mighty, dancing, cups of tea looking out over Wellington at 5am, a hot girl in my bed and Maranui Cafe for Father's Day.

I'll be back Wellington, to visit, real soon. I promise. xx

Throw away kisses

You gotta watch out for those crazy fucking sharks that attack bears. They'll get you man.

What is it with Wine Cellar/Whammy and arm wrestling?

and throw away kisses?

I don't like to waste kisses in such a way. Personally.

arm wrestling & high tea

Bit of a weekend of opposites.

After seeing Stevie Starr play, Saturday night turned into a testosterone fueled arm wrestling competition at Wine Cellar.

Taking things very seriously as you can see.

and it gets better... smoking/drinking/flirting?/arm wrestling

It actually looks like Tom is trying in this shot. Perhaps that is why he won. He put in some real effort.

Things I learnt: Not only is Stevie very talented but is also very kind and lets me win at arm wrestling matches.

Then Sunday afternoon was all about the ladies at Bindi's High Tea for her birthday.

The little star made many delicious treats. Cupcakes/melting moments/baby lemon meringue pie/baby benoffe pie/club sandwiches/salmon & caper pikelets and scones.

AND long island iced tea out of tea pots.

AMAZING. Delicious. Great people ALL weekend.
