Paris Fashion Week - Creative Runways

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2013



Chanel Fall/Winter 2013



Paris hosted their Fashion Week recently and I just love checking out the creative fashion runways  - Chanel and Louis Vuitton were standouts this year.
LV's catwalk was decked out like a five star hotel lobby with models walking in and out through the doors - you can see the famous LV cases and bags and hints of the rooms each time the doors were opened. Meanwhile Chanel's modern catwalk was overtaken by a giant globe, which highlighted the brand's locations around the world. The whole experience of watching these shows must be amazing.

Striking Auckland Home









Featured on Remodelista this morning is this cool New Zealand home by architect Andrew Lister. Located in Waterview, Auckland, this is the home of Japanese actress, Yuri Kinugawa and  Kiwi producer, Owen Hughes who met on location of the New Zealand film, Memory and Desire. The house was Lister's first commission when he started up his own firm - and an award winning one too.
The house is beautifully captured by photographer, Richard Powers and the copper hand sculpture, Bee-Hold is by artist Terry Stringer.

Scandi Style Cafe in Japan









Spotted on Gardenista today - this is Soholm Cafe, a Scandi inspired design by Jamo Associates, which is located in a seaside suburb in Toyko, Japan. Great use of colours and materials -  I like the casual and relaxed atmosphere created by the graphic brick pattern, the strings of frosted bulbs and lush plants.

Surprise Dolphin Visit in Wellington

What a great way to finish off the week and our summer season - it has been a gorgeous sunny day today as it was yesterday when a surprise visit of 100+ dolphins turned up in the Wellington harbour. Love it - this is my amazing city!


The video is by the fabulous Ro Tierney who did a beautiful video when it snowed in Wellington last year. You can see it here.

52 Suburbs in Wellington













I love these Wellington photos taken by Louise Hawson from 52 Suburbs.
Hawson, in 2009/2010, realised that she was a stranger in her own home city of Sydney, Australia so she visited a different suburb each weekend and recorded what she saw for one year (hence '52 suburbs'). This was expanded into 52 Suburbs Around the World for 2012/13, which is how Hawson ended up on our shores. She focused on the suburb of Te Aro, which is just down the hill from my home, and with her great eye, she totally captured it - check out her website here and see if she visited your city.
