Oh, how I heart Karen Walker

Karen Walker is maybe not my favourite New Zealand designer but I simply cannot cannot cannot get these sunglasses out of my head:


Duper Strength Sunglasses: $349 Grape & $329 Blue
It's the grape colour that makes my heart patter.

Yes. I do love the lookbook as well.


Sigh. I'm so predictable.

p.s.


NZ$280

I also love this KW necklace.

Because this is turning out to be a no-good, very-bad week ...

Here's a photo of Kat's adorable puppy gnawing on my thumb.

p.s. That's Craig's manlymanly arm at the bottom of the shot. I am not that hirsute.
p.p.s. The puppy is a chocolate labradoodle (labraDOODLE!) called Bailey and is pretty much the cutest thing ever.
p.p.p.s. With me? puppies are like babies. I distrust them generally, like a few, am definitely not ready for one of my own.
p.p.p.p.s. Sir C and I will probably eventually get a cat rather than a dog anyway. You can't parallel that one to babies.

Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge








(I was using a wide angle lens adaptor. The bridge isn't actually all bendy)




Plane and the Golden Gate Bridge. Beating a dead horse.


Another dead horse!

Craig never really wore those glasses again. I wonder why.

Week Sixteen

Sunday
Zombie-Jesus day. I ate an egg. Or two.


Monday
A lazy last day in Auckland.
Craig in the McDonalds at Auckland Airport. This is, however, the moment I realised that I quite like Gherkins.
Year upon year of whipping them out of burgers without trying them and now? mm-mmm.


Tuesday
The day before payday and we had $1.60 to our names, after doing things like providing lunch and travel of course.


Wednesday
Checking the dates of the Monet exhibition. Thankfully I still have a couple of weeks!


Thursday
After lunch with my favourite Petra, we wandered a department store and I tried out nailpolishes.


Friday
My afternoon was veryvery quiet. I loved the shoes I was wearing. My totally, completely UNIQUE* shoes.


Saturday
At a fabric fair in Brooklyn, I sat in the sun and ate Raspberry and Feijoa Gelato.
It was delicious but by the end I was so cold I had to put my jacket on.

*Did you guess? they aren't completely unique. My baby sister and mother each have a pair.

I Tweet Too Damn Often...

ohdarling: Drinking Cranberry juice with a splash of Rosewater. But no Jameson. It's a Virgin Rosebud! (dirty)

With a few simple (inappropriate) (or HILARIOUS) words, I realised that I have sent THREE THOUSAND twitter messages.

Either I spend way way too much time on Twitter, orrrrrrrr perhaps I've just been using twitter for a long long time. And I have! since April something-or-other 2007. Two years, most definitely.
I only tweet (on average) 4.10958904 times a day. That's nothing!

Okay. So I just went back over allallall my twitter messages and my very first one was in MARCH 2007 :
