Shop One Night with Boohoo

boohoo1

Hello, again. As I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve been highly sporadic on here of late while I sort out a new laptop. I’ve managed to steal the bfs computer just before he jets off to Oz, however, to give you the heads up on the choice deals boohoo.co.nz is running for the Shop One Night event, that kicks off from 5 PM tonight.

Here it is : from 5 PM until midnight boohoo is giving you a coded discount of 20 % off everything. The discount code for this, which you will use at checkout, is :  SHOP1NIGHT

And from 7PM til 8:15 PM boohoo is running the ‘power hour’ where on top of getting 20% off everything, you also get a free boohoo tote bag :) The code for this is : FREEBAG20

So, I’d suggest getting your wishlist ready for 5PM! I’ve put together the top items on my wishlist below, let me know if they’re on your wishlist too!! :

Stolen Girlfriends Club – Nasty Goreng Spring Collection (runway)

Stolen Girlfriends Club Creative Director, Marc Moore, describes the collection as a mishmash of opposing ideas and themes, call girls and American G.I’s. We got a sneak peak into the Spring collection on Wednesday night, at a huge, vacant and freezing warehouse in Newmarket (if only I could have warmed myself with wine). It felt as though the runway show was split into two themes, the first part had some of my favourite outfits which gave me of a kind of ‘Grown up Girl Scout’ vibe and my girl Shirl said they reminded her of the movie ‘Moonrise Kingdom.’ The second half featured a vibrant leopard print, which also showed up in see through full-length gowns. The highlight of this section being the head to toe orange leopard print jumpsuit and wide brimmed hat and a knee-length zip-off black trench coat. The night also hailed the launch of the MINI PACEMAN, which took its own turn down the runway wearing the SGC ‘Death Moth’ print. More runway pics below, lookbook images coming soon.

models in boohoo + a big ass cake

boomodels5boocake1boomodel1boomodels3boosign

What’s a one year anniversary celebration without some hot models and a big ass cake, right? With boohoo now being the 4th most visited fashion site in Oz & NZ, selling six dresses every minute, I can see why the peeps at boohoo, including its founders Carol and Mahmud, were all down to par-tay for our last night in Sydney. Mix a bunch of kiwis, ozzies and guys and gals from the UK, and a big night will mos def be had. But, conveniently, what goes on tour, stays on tour… shout outs to Courtney from Always, Sometimes, Anytime tho, you’re the man.

But before dancing til the wee hours, we were able to admire pieces from the boohoo ‘Boutique’ and ‘Future Sports’ ranges (due out around July/August) on some stunning models. The Future Sports pieces were some of my faves from the showroom and it was even better seeing them worn IRL. My love for the neon-pink leopard print ensemble grew even more. I’d somewhat overlooked the ‘Boutique’ range at the showing, the collection being darker and a bit more serious, but the dresses got my attention that night. Plus, I’m a sucker for wearing socks with heels, and flower crowns, so that put it over the edge for me. More fash & food pics after the jump xx

The Ivy Penthouse in Sydney was decked out and dazzling with racks of soon to be released boohoo garments, each collection catering to a specific look and feel;  California festival-girl with crochet, dip dye and denim, Aztec geo-prints and rich reds, sexy sports luxe with cut outs & see through panels, animal print and patterns on patterns on sophisticated party dresses or super distressed denim, sequins and netted skirts and kimono type matching pant suits. It was all very pleasing to the eye and semi-distressing that I wasn’t able to be left alone to try on absolutely everything. Click through for all the fab accessories and cute DIY table on display…

Getting lost on the Nike Free Your Run fun run…

nikefyrauckland_dws9075

Last week I was invited to the Nike Free 5.0+ launch, with a 7 km ‘fun’ run thrown in to break in the new shoes. As far as runs go it was surprisingly fun for the first couple of kms, mostly because we stopped a lot. We stopped to pick up balloons and glow-sticks, play a bit of basketball and catch our breath while watching a dance group. But then the rest of the time was just old-fashioned-no-stopping-type-running. That was a touch less fun. Adventure was still to be had though as my running buddy, Tim Lambourne, and I became lost not once, but THREE times. I’m not sure how that happened, but I’m certain fatigue was a factor. We found our way back by spotting a couple of glow-stick decked out runners in the distance (googlemaps who?) and I’m pretty sure we ran an extra kilometre or two as a result, so brownie points for us.

Collette Dinnigan new eyewear collection & giveaway !!

collette_dinnigan_1

from the ‘Carnivale’ collection

Being a four-eyes myself, I’m excited to be able to give away a voucher for two pairs of glasses from the Collette Dinnigan for Specsavers eyewear collection to one of you lucky readers! I remember being a little bummed when I first found out I needed glasses, but that feeling only lasted until I started trying on frames, and from then on it was all excitement about the new fashionable addition to my wardrobe. So of course, when I was contacted about Collette Dinnigan’s new eyewear range, I had to have a play around with the collection. I got my fellow specs-wearer Shirl to join in on the fun, with the always amazing Abbie Gardiner doing our make-up.

The range is made up of three distinct styles, romance, decadence & carnivale. To be in to win the two pairs of glasses, just comment in the comments section (with your correct email address in the email form – your email won’t be made public :) ) what your fave of the three styles from the range is (check out the full range & styles here) – as you’ll see from the frames we chose, Shirl and I were quite partial to the ‘decadence’ styles.
