CO2 Cashmere hoodies, a cozy opt this spring!
The cashmere hood cardigan from CO2 Cashmere is lovely, I bought a cozy sample for myself, designed for relaxing Sundays this spring..


I am busy as a bee, trying to make my cosmetic counter that I'm currently managing work and grow. I also have a new girl on board with hopes that I can start taking some extra hours off. So busy that I'm in fact, beleive it or not, don't have any time to go shopping and if I do, it's a stressed 'what's for dinner, I'll grab som take aways' spree..Countdown in all glory but a girl need some pampering from now and then, so what better then resolve to some late night bargains online. Bless the internet since there is no such thing as opening hours. I found a fairytale printed soft hoodie and imagined all my lazy sundays off wearing something cute and fun..most of all, something that is the right opposite to my strict white robe..
Get an 8 in your hair..
2010 Lates hair trend..my very own Flexi-8
The days of reading novels with sand between my toes has finally arrived, now, finally I might add,I have started to enjoy the real NZ Summer. For two days non stop I have been sun-bathing, splashing around in the ice could wavy waters of Sumners beach and eating all kinds of ice cream, Rum raisin, scotch chocholate, melon, boysenberry and pistage.. it's been a bliss and giving me a lot of spare time to check out trends like Foldable ballet flats or smart hair accessories like flexi-8..found some really beautiful 'dragonflys' to wear to any well dressed occassion...

Foldable ballet flats from fit in clouds is a must see..
Foldable Ballet Flats, cute designs from Fit in Clouds.com
Is there anything better then a pair of very personal, sequin dipped and well designed slip on portable shoes..
The summer is still in bloom, yes the right expression used when your living in the official Garden City of New Zealand, Christchurch. Except the cascades of flowers leaning over fences, reaching the roof tops of garages and climbing the power poles it also comes with a steaming barbeque charm, sunset board walks and relaxing sunday lattes. Though I'm reminded of the winter back home (in Sweden) I live in the present, blissfully aware but away from the horrible could and icy streets, piles of snow and ghustly winds in an otherwise nordic February.
Designer Jacket Sale!Wraps up for grabs...
Velvet Wraps up for grabs!
Sale, it's selling, sold?
I am admitting a slight defeat. My second collection(Spring/Summer Jackets 2010, luxury velvet kimonos, raw silk corsets and so on) didn't sell as planned due to the high manufacturing price that way outruns what I am actually selling the garments for. Mathematics was never my strong subject in school but this easy calculation should have been quick to forecast. Saying that, backing up my lovely pieces is an easy task. As the weather abruptly changes, so does the fashion industry and there is always room for sudden storms and rain even on the most sunny of days. Sale here.. For any inquieries just put a comment in below or contact me here.
Love is in a pendant this season & Gemondo
I love to love...

Naiomi Murells collection of wood pendants
Hearty Jewlery from Gemondo
The attraction towrads heart shaped jewlery, vintage looking and unique is obvious, I just adore it. Finding them is another project, I am happy to have stumbled in on Gemondo.com that really has a huge and wide range of unique looking gems. There is also a Sale on so it's definitly worth a stop..Here is some 'tasties' that I really like..

Khaki and Safari for xmas?
Canvas and leather the right safari look...

I am working and working..and yes, working throughout this whole xmas and new years season. I havn't even been able to do my own christmas shopping as yet. Well with exceptions of the occassionally running off on a rushed lunch break. I am in a state where I don't even know if Im doing the right thing, signing off on this much work and not having any quality time with my fiancee. Truth be told, all the girls at work hide their tiredness under layers of make up and keep sighing before looking the store at night. I am just seeing this as a quick in between job knowing that working store hours means signing off on all private fun and perhaps overall life in general. I miss the days of total relaxing, painting and working on what I love the most, my collection that is as we speak on a loong break...

Knee highs, knits and some attitude..
Booties and knits..A little bit of attitude goes a long way..
Monday 23 November

I am exploring the craters and steaming mud pools of Rotaroua in NZ. It's not as amazing as the first visit here, a few months ago. My newly arrived mom tough needs to see and explore everything as well so there will be a few re-runs when in North Island.

It's now the 3 day on the road and I am still buzzing from yesterdays announcement of me and my partner Ross big engagement. We surprised both his friends and his parents by bringing champagne and glasses to his dads house, organising everyone to show up with 'Alice is having her mom over, wanna say hello?' as reason to show up.
