OLD JACKET... NEW JACKET...


It was raining 2 days ago when I took these picts, this is a beautiful retro jacket with lovely aqua, turquoise, blues and greens in a funky geometric design, two square pockets which  proved very handy for Ifie and my keys... 

I scored this last weekend (triathlon weekend) in Petone, at a great newly-fav store called Rebound... 

At $11 it was a little bit pricey for an item from a 'second hand clothing store', as opposed to a 'specialist vintage and retro clothing boutique'... mind you the specialist shops would have had at least $29 on a jacket like this... the colours are awesome and the cut is flattering, just beautiful really! 

And as usual it never ceases to completely amaze me when I find something gorgeous and vintage in my size... I'm always wearing the "WOHOO" facial expression at moments like these...




So, if you didn't know already I'm a HUGE fan of Harry Potter...  Yes!  I am!  I love the books, I love the movies , I'm a fan of the actors, I love Hogwarts,  I love Gryfindor, I love the cute  flying blue Ford Anglia on HP and the Chamber of Secrets and I could go on and on about the fantastic and amazing imaginings of JK Rowling, I mean, the girl has serious talent...

So when my sister told me about Rupert Grint's latest project with talented emerging artist Ed Sherran, of course I had to have a look and share it you all, its a very clever video and a big UPs for the red-heads of the world... I hope you enjoy it, I love it!....



WEEKLY WANDERING...
I've become the latest follower of Ana B, from Wellington I thinks she's beautiful and I love the stunning photography Rob D takes of her and their surroundings...

NEW SHOES...
Yes! I did! I ordered two pairs of shoes this week, they are both on the way and they are both clogs... Its the summer sales, they just get me everytime!  You know I love shoes, and its not very often that I will buy them but when I do, I'll admit I'll go a little crazy...
 I found the perfect quote from Ana B to summarise the deeper feelings of shoe buying... secretly I suffer "middle class guilt about my obsessive consumer consumption"  Do you suffer from this?

Do have a lovely weekend...
