Lazy Oaf

So my latest love/obsession is the UK label Lazy Oaf - if you love quirky, colourful prints, this will also be right up your alley! Started as hand made print tees sold at the Spitalfields Market in 2001 by Gemma Shiel, it's now grown into a whole world of clothes (for both boys and girls), accessories, bags, stationary, and even pizza/burger bean bags (not edible, sadly). I first discovered them online (as I do most things, being in little New Zealand - as in the furthest place from anywhere in the world), and just happened to stumble into their Soho boutique whilst walking around lost in town when I was in London a few weeks ago. They do CAT SOCKS, need I say more?!



 (I bought two pairs of these naturally, for both Robecca and I.)

(And this, which was supposed to be a present for a boy but which I ended up keeping for myself... shhhh.)



 (Pizza hat. Um hello, can it get any more perfect?)


 (Cards... there were cards for every occasion in the shop!)

(And finally, a watermelon bag! Almost wish it was summer again so that we can have watermelon again!)

ZOLA Hisabel boots

I was sent these AWESOME Zola Hisable shoes to blog about recently, and truthfully I didn't get round to the post as soon as I would have liked because of Uni commitments (ahhhh Postgrad you're killing me!!) 

As I'm sure you can see from the above pic they are super duper rad!
Thing I love about Zola is that they are australian made, so they are great quality and the heels are wooden so you can wear them all winter long!




How cute is that lining??! 


"Zola Collection fuses together leather uppers & linings and trims which have been all hand crafted to create the hottest looks available." 




Tres cute yes? 
You can buy them here .


Also, you can get them in several colours! I dig the black ones because they're pratcial , but the red ones are pretty bangin' too! 

Which you can get here. AND they also come in a variety of colours!
Cool stuff yeah?  xxx R

Persunmall.com

Persunmall.com is a rad little online shopping website I have recently come across. There are heaps around at the moment so it can be hard to find an online webiste which has decent selection and clothes that are made well. This one has a little disclaimer here which you can click on and has a guarantee disclaimer so that always sets my mind at ease.

ANYWHO, here are some of my picks from the website. There was SO much to pick from! I suggest you follow the links (and it took me ages to cut and paste each pic and then add the link-so freaken do it!).
They also do some pretty sweet evening wear/wedding dresses .
So, happy shopping! xxx R

Robecca and Haeme VS St Ives.

So just before H-bone took off to Londontown we were sent some St Ives Products to test out. And BOY did we have fun!
Here we are looking extra sad about our faces being all lame and un-cleansed. 

To start with, we both washed our faces with the Green Tea Cleanser. It's really nice and refreshing! ( Like REALLY).



The I used the Green Tea Scrub (these links attached to the name of the products take you to the St Ives website. Where you can buy it FYI).








Here's a fun GIF of me washing my face with the scrub.

Haeme then used the Invigorating Apricot Scrub to scrub her face.

It's actually pretty hard to say which one was either of our fav. They all felt and smelt really, really nice and weren't too rough on our skin. 
Both of us have pretty similar skin tones; T-zone prone to be a little oily and 


the forehead area can get a little dry. ESP in winter, and afterwards both of us felt like our skin was so fresh feeling!  I noticed that my skin felt really soft after and stayed soft for days after. 


Look how positively stoked we look at how great our skin feels! Yeah! 






That is all from moi for now. Happy mid week ya'll! xxx R

Amazing spaces

I love looking into other people's houses and homes - there's something fascinating about how people decorate their own space. Here are a few pictures of what's right up my alley... Fingers crossed that one day I get to do this to my own place. Sigh... x H







 

 

That last one? It's a freaking bathroom! Imagine doing all your bathroom-y stuff in that room! You'd actually take the longest showers in history. Amazing.
