Nicole Fendel Jewellery, a global traveller this summer

Hey kids, occasionally, just occasionally we get excited about things from outside of New Zealand. It's always good to see our Aussie cousins coming over with something a little different. Nicole Fendel is the latest to catch our eye.



Aussie designer Nicole Fendel launched her label in 2002 and while we just caught up with her, we hear that her collections have struck a chord both in Aus and further afield. The latest collection takes us all over the globe - telling the story of a sun-drenched summer spent exploring St Tropez, Morocco, Capri and Africa, with exquisite gold and silver pendants, dramatic cocktail rings, delicate bracelets and clusters of bangles making up a hybridized collection of future heirlooms.

This summer also sees the launch of NFJ’s Spring Racing Carnival Collection The Clover, The Valentines Heart Collection and the Tree of Life pendant, which supports Life & Tree, Fendel’s favourite charity in Sao Paulo, Brazil that aims to rejuvenate plant life in the over developed region.


Check out the current collections on their website, we'll bring you details of their Kiwi stockists soon. XO

Summer, summer, summer... Turet Knuefermann

Yeah, ok. So we're summer people. Down here in Wellington there's something glorious about throwing off the black of winter - we're as guilty as anyone - and starting to delight in the freedom and colour that comes with the Kiwi summer. Beaches, roadtrips, barbies (not Ken), its all part of that magical mix that makes this land home.


We know that all the upcoming festivals, days - make that weeks - at the beach and those summer parties demand outfits that can look good, travel well and always have you looking hot. The summer collection from Turet Kneufermann has a piece we think is just perfect - yep, a beautiful sarong - so many looks, and perfect for everything from the beach to that rather grown up party.

This isn't the only piece worth getting your hands on from Turet Kneufermann. Her spring summer collection is gorgeous. Inspired by the crisp, clean lines of Scandinavia and the river guardian of Portugal, this collection reminds us so much of the freedom we're expecting this summer.


Get to your local stockists and the online store to pick up something outstanding for summer.

Kate Middleton's changing style

Not sure if anyone cares but we are English so thought we should at least acknowledge the Royal Engagement. We found a wee video on the changing style of the future Queen of England. Enjoy.

First Thursdays is back!
