Introducing Boohoo Boutique Autumn/Winter 2014…

Y’all know my absolute LOVE for boohoo.com (I could happily live in boohoo fashion) and returning for its fifth season, boohoo Boutique brings together bohemian styling and ladylike prints for Autumn/Winter 2014 with the Sports Luxe and Woodcutter trends. Yes I love boohoo.com, but ‘boohoo Boutique’, well that’s a whole notha level of love!

The fabulous thing about boohoo is (and I know I go on about this every time I write about them) they really are just so perfect for staying on-trend without breaking the bank. I mean what girl doesn’t want to be donning the latest trends? But lets face it, fashion is fickle and trends are ever-changing, so being able to afford & maintain a stylish on-trend wardrobe via boohoo Boutique’s quality offerings, well I think that’s just fantastic!

Prior to attending the media preview of the new boohoo Boutique AW2014 collection, I’d actually already been online collating my order a couple of days prior, so whilst I’ve showcased below some of my key picks from the new range, I will be following up with a style edit & look-book post as soon as my order arrives so you can see all the amazing pieces that I’ve personally chosen, along with a photo shoot (or maybe even a video look-book), so stay tuned for that.

Continuing the premium quality that has become synonymous with the boohoo Boutique line – tile patterns, stripped back shades and embellishments are highlights, alongside tailored jackets and feminine slip dresses.

Key products in the collection are pieced together by lace edge detailing, bead trims and waterfall ruffles, presenting ultimately opulent looks. Focal shapes include cropped co-ordinates, flared jumpsuits, and smock shirtdresses, all of which are designed in-house.

BOOHOO BOUTIQUE Tina Heavy Satin Cami Dress $80.00

GIVEAWAY: NEED A NEW SMARTPHONE? Well it just so happens we have one up for grabs…

Introducing Moto G in New Zealand: An Exceptional Phone At An Exceptional Price! Oh, and did I mention I’m giving one away? Yup, that’s right, I have the hot new Moto G smartphone to give away to one of my lucky readers. Read on to find out how you can win – it’s super simple!

People all around the world want to be a part of the mobile Internet so they can access the world’s information, share, and connect with the things that matter to them. But the smartphone industry has relegated hundreds of millions of smartphone buyers to second-class status, preventing them from experiencing the mobile Internet at its best.

That’s because price-conscious consumers who don’t want to pay $750 or more for high-end smartphones have been left with two bad options. The first is to buy cheap, new smartphones made with second-rate technology that don’t do justice to modern apps and experiences like navigation, video chat and games. The second is to buy “low cost” versions of premium products that were released two or three years ago and are already obsolete.

Motorola think there should be a better option. Everybody deserves to be on the mobile Internet, and price shouldn’t stand in the way of anyone having a truly good smartphone to get him or her there.

Motorola and Brightstar, one of the world’s largest wireless distribution companies, introduces Moto G to New Zealand. Moto G is a smartphone that delivers a premium experience for a third of the price of current high-end phones.

Moto G includes:

A brilliant 4.5-inch HD display – the sharpest in its class – which goes edge-to-edge so you can enjoy movies, photos, video chats and more.
The newest Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 400 processor featuring a quad-core CPU for seamless multitasking and enjoying the web, videos and games, with all-day battery life.
Android 4.3 Jellybean, the most up to date Android of any phone in its class, with a guaranteed upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat at the beginning of 2014. No skins to clutter or slow the experience, and great performance with Google’s unbeatable mobile services such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Chrome and Hangouts.
Stylish design with a comfortable curved back.
Dual SIM support gives you the option to use the network that makes sense for who and where you’re calling and texting or combine your work and personal devices into one.
With its Quad-Band 3G support it will work seamlessly on any New Zealand network.

Moto G owners also get an extra 50GB of Google Drive storage free for two years to safely keep and share photos, documents and other files (that’s on top of the standard 15GB). That’s a total of 65GB! With that much space, you can securely store up to 7,000 music files, up to 14,000 pictures taken with your Moto G camera, or up to 500 HD video clips recorded on your phone. Offer must be redeemed within 30 days of activation.

Pricing and Availability
Moto G is available at national retailers Harvey Norman, JB Hi-fi & 2degress for the exceptional price of $299RRP.

So, how can you be in to win one of these amazing new Moto G smartphones? Easy…

New YouTube Video – Melbourne Shopping Haul: Zara, Victoria Secret, Steve Madden, vintage finds & more…

I was very recently flown to Melbourne for a “Like A Boss” experience at the 2014 Big Day Out (I know, lucky right?!) But let’s be honest, there’s no way I was going to visit Australia without shopping up a storm, and shop up a storm I did! I’ve amassed quite a haul!

I love watching other people’s ‘haul’ videos, so I thought why not show you what I bought over in Melbourne via my own haul video. There’s everything from Victoria Secret to Zara, Steve Madden to Sportsgirl, a few cool vintage finds, plus a whole lot more. So, grab a cup of tea (or maybe a cheeky vino) and get comfy coz its gonna be a long one (what can I say, I bought a lot of stuff!).

Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel and hit ‘thumbs up’ to let me know you want to see more haul videos.

I AM…. Unique, Confident, Positive, Happy & Content. And You?

Last week I had an eye-opening ‘a-ha’ moment! I have to say that in attending the Kagi ‘I am’ jewellery launch Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection, held at the prestigious French Cafe, I never expected such an ‘a-ha moment’ to occur. However in listening to both the inspiration behind Kat Gee’s new ‘I am’ collection and what drives her to create her amazing jewellery range, along with a presentation by life coach & motivational speaker Tracy Manu, I realised everything they both spoke about totally resonated with me.

Tracy Manu spoke of celebrating our uniqueness, living in the present, and that what you put out there, what you say to others, how you respond to others, is really ‘the you’ that you are creating and putting out there. When someone says ‘how are you’ and you respond with ‘busy’, ‘chaotic’ or ‘stressed’, which lets face it, we all are, it’s also how you then continue your train of thought, being ‘busy and stressed’ is what you will continue to focus on. Basically erasing negativity from your vocab can be all it takes to change your attitude and your way of thinking. I mean constantly verbalising negativity all the time, just cannot be healthy right? This definitely resonated with me. I can find myself not even focussing on a movie I’m watching, or enjoying my surroundings on the weekend, because all I’m doing is thinking about what I have to get done, how busy I am, what’s stressing me out, and it’s generally because that’s the last thing I’ve said to someone, it’s the last thing I’ve verbalised and so that’s what has stayed in my mind – stress and chaos. Tracy’s key points – be you, be present, appreciate what you have, what you’ve achieved, and above all – take some time out to reflect on all the positive and fabulous things that are right in front of you! Surround yourself with beautiful things (this doesn’t have to mean extravagant things), but simple things like scented candles, beautiful blooms, things that make you feel good and make you smile! Appreciate the little things, maybe it’s as small as ticking one thing of your ‘to do’ list. There are so many things that I realise “I am” pretty damn happy about! That I’ve made it through hardships, I’ve made it through things I didn’t think I could get through, I’m proud of my achievements and I have great stuff going on around me all the time – sometimes I’ve just forgotten to see and absorb it. So going forward, if you see me out and about and if you ask me how “I am”, call me on it if I respond with “busy or stressed’, cause actually, I’m doin pretty awesome!

Tracy Manu

Kat spoke of what inspires her and how she came to realise that the simplest of gestures can be all it takes to make a difference in someones elses life. Her heartwarming story of a simple gesture, (of gifting a piece of her jewellery to someone going through an incredibly trying time) talked to not only reaching out to someone, in turn making them feel special, it also cemented that what she does, her passion (creating jewellery) is something she can be incredibly proud of, it makes a difference, and it’s what makes her the person she is today.

Kat Gee

So, I guess you can see where this is all going, it all summed up the new “I am” Kagi collection beautifully.

Kagi’s new ‘I am’ range is a bold, confident mix of capsule collections that extend upon Kagi’s bestsellers and introduce even more innovative designs. ‘I am’ is in essence about empowering women every day to celebrate their own unique sense of self.

Kat states “I design Kagi to suit women and our busy lifestyle. Kagi is a multi- tasker that can easily be transformed to match any mood, moment or occasion. Jewellery is an outward expression of who you are and who you want to be, empowering women every day to celebrate their own unique sense of self, and allowing their personal style to shine”.

The new range boasts numerous capsule collections, scheduled for release over the coming months.

Showcasing such a diverse and stunning new offering, the ‘I am’ collection is set to launch a new era of Kagi women across New Zealand and Australia.

Remember – ‘I am’ are two of the most important words that can shape our lives.

The Warehouse Autumn Season Preview…

Held at the beautiful historic Highwic House in Newmarket, media got their first glimpse of the Autumn essentials collection from The Warehouse. Rest assured there’s plenty of standout pieces that will see you prepared when the cooler temperatures set in…

With ‘onesies’ remaining an Autumn/Winter staple, The Warehouse (dubbed 2014’s ‘home of the onesie’) is definitely going to be your one-stop-shop with their HUGE selection of onesies for the entire family. Everything from Tim’s (of Big Brother) infamous skeleton onesie, animal all-in-ones, and a vast collection of varsity themed pieces, believe me – The Warehouse has them all!

As predicted in my 2014 Fashion Forecast post, tartan is set to be a massive key trend, and again, The Warehouse is bang on track with some fantastic plaid pieces (oohhh that tartan pencil skirt!).

A few other key trends making their presence known in the new autumn collection – college chic, blooms-a-plenty with an array of floral tops, satin-esque bomber jackets, print & patterned pants, hot footwear for both guys and girls, plus bright pops of colour (for when the winter blues set in) with the ever-fabulous Rose & Thorne lingerie.

Check out some of my highlights from a morning spent at Highwic House (an amazing setting that made me feel like I’d entered the wonderful world of Downton Abbey), along with some of my hottest picks from the upcoming Autumn collection…

My heart skips a beat at the mere thought of a fashion runway show, so you can imagine my delight when I realised that the third annual ’10 Days of Fashion in the City’ is just around the corner (starts Thursday 27 February). If a fashion extravaganza sets your heart-a-flutter too, then you’ll definitely want to read on because we’ve got all the details of a show stopping 125m-long catwalk down the middle of Queen Street, a launch event at a breathtaking height of 192m and a full calendar of events taking place throughout the ‘10 Days of Fashion in the City’ festival, brought to you by Resene.

From ‘The Height of Fashion’ launch event at The Sugar Club, two days of fashion shows in Britomart, a pop-up NZ Fashion Museum exhibition, free fashion movies, an exclusive outdoor fashion show from Workshop and a George FM-hosted wrap party, Auckland’s central city is set to live up to its reputation as the country’s premier fashion destination.

Funded and managed by Heart of the City and supported by partnerships with Resene, Viva, George FM and Schwarzkopf, ‘10 Days of Fashion in the City’ offers a selection of impressive shows, parties and celebrations, and provides shoppers an opportunity to take advantage of more than 100 in-store offers at participating retailers.

A highlight event that’s set to rewrite the record books will be New Zealand’s Longest Catwalk presented by Schwarzkopf, a 125m-long catwalk show that will take the place of a section of Queen Street’s bustling traffic for an afternoon. Heart of the City Events & Sponsorship Manager, Jane Stewart gave us a little insight into what we can expect… “40 models will parade 80 in-season outfits styled by Kylie Cooke (NZ’s Top Model and X-Factor) from the city’s most coveted boutiques and fashion retailers including the likes of Huffer, Coach, Smith & Caughey’s, Max, Moochi, Barkers, Glassons and many more, right down the middle of the country’s most famous street,”

The free catwalk event, hosted by Shannon Ryan, will take place between Shortland Street and Wyndham Street.

Before the Queen Street catwalk takes the spotlight, the ‘10 Days of Fashion in the City’ will kick off in high style with a luncheon in the sky. The exclusive event at The Sugar Club by Peter Gordon at the top of the Sky Tower will see guests meet designers including Trelise Cooper, Adrian Hailwood, Yvonne Bennetti and Kathryn Wilson as well as seeing their designs on show.

The next day sees the return of the Britomart Fashion Sessions, a two-day event featuring six runway shows from 12 New Zealand and international designers showcasing their Autumn/Winter 2014 collections. The shows will take place in Britomart’s Atrium on Takutai shopping gallery and will celebrate some of the precinct’s favourite labels, including Trelise Cooper, WORLD, Juliette Hogan, Federation and more. Check out the video to get a feel for what you can expect to see:

Fashion takes a less traditional form than the usual catwalk shows for ‘Hello, We Are The New Zealand Fashion Museum’ a free exhibition featuring four unique fashion heritage stories at Silo Park in Wynyard Quarter.

If you just want to sit back, relax and put your feet up, you can catch one of four free fashion themed movies at venues around the city. Valentino: The Last Emperor, The September Issue, Bill Cunningham: New York and Annie Hall will inspire viewers with their different takes on fashion.

Stewart goes on to say “And if you’ve still got some gas left in the tank, we’ll be celebrating the end of our 10-day extravaganza with one hell of a party hosted by George FM at Britomart Country Club.” concludes Stewart.

With goodie bags for the first 50 guests and free entertainment with Aroha from George FM spinning sweet tunes, the party promises a great wrap-up for ‘10 Days of Fashion in the City’.

ARTDECO & SHISEIDO have both launched new 2014 makeup collections and I’ve been lucky enough to get an advanced preview of both.

The ARTDECO collection is in-store now (this week) and the SHISEIDO collection will be in-store in March.

ARTDECO has released their new ‘Color & Art Collection’ where beauty meets art. The colours featured in this new collection are all inspired by fashion illustrator Julia Pelzer. Julia – the creative vision behind this bright, bold and scorching hot range (who’s freehand motifs have graced the pages of Elle, Glamour and Vogue Magazines) created a range of exciting colours and imaginative packaging in a perfect combination of art and beauty. The collection features fabulous eye-popping new eyeshadow, liquid liner, blusher, mascara, lip & nail colour shades, all of which will make your heart skip a beat!

SHISEIDO released their new 2014 makeup collection which features a multi-use Sheer Eye-Zone Corrector (this magical pen also works as an illuminator and skin perfector), the Face Color Enhancing Trio (each palette has three well-thought-out shades that enable you to achieve a glowing & lively impression, all whilst sculpting and enhancing – sure to be a huge hit in 2014). There’s also a fabulous Shimmering Cream Eye Color range (formulated with 3D Jewel Powders) and 2 new lip products – Lacquer Gloss and Lacquer Rouge.

If you like this video, hitting the ‘subscribe’ button on my YouTube Channel is a sure-fire way to let me know you’d like me to feature more ‘advanced preview’ beauty videos 🙂 You can click through and subscribe to my YouTube channel here: YouTube/GurlinterruptedNZ (oh, and my next video will be a huge ‘HAUL’ video, featuring everything I got when I was in Melbourne last week, so make sure you subscribe to my channel to be notified as soon this video goes live – it’s gonna be a biggie!)

Introducing my latest love – Peter Alexander’s new collection, based on a certain Audrey Hepburn movie, aptly named “Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Yip, Cupid aimed his bow and arrow and I’m totally smitten. If you haven’t already started dropping hints for Valentine’s Day, you soon will be once you’ve seen Peter Alexander’s new range, and it’s in store now.

Peter Alexander bought the rights to the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and in doing so created the most stunning capsule collection based on the movie. Not only is each and every piece absolutely delightful in its own right, add to this delicate printed silk, fabulous imagery and don’t even get me started on the packaging!

Peter totally won my heart with his latest collection, not only because it’s based on one of my favourite movies, and features one of my favourite hollywood starlets – Audrey Hepburn, Mr Alexander manages to capture, sexy, fun, & flirty all in one fabulous collection, there’s even something for your little one (perfect if you’re not expecting Cupid to come a knockin on February the 14th, but still want to celebrate your love for someone special).

Check out the new Breakfast at Tiffany’s capsule collection…

For A Girl That Lives In Heels, Walking On Clouds Sure Will Be A Welcome Change…

skechers memory foam, skechers nz, skechers new zealand, skechers autumn launch, footwear, heels, sneakers, trainers, workout, fitness, lifestyle, mangopr, eleisha balmer, sophia berry-smith, shoes, YouTube, vlogger, makeup, beauty guru, makeup artist nz, beauty blog nz, fashion blog nz, style blog nz, beauty media nz, fashion media nz, angie fredatovich, gurlinterrupted, fashion, beauty

I’m a self-confessed shoe-a-holic (I guess owning 300+ pairs of shoes qualifies) so being invited to a media event that involves shoes is always going to grab my attention! So with much excitement, last Friday I headed to Skechers HQ to celebrate the launch of their new “Skechers Memory Foam’ footwear collection, and to find out a little more about Skechers and the different footwear ranges they produce. I’m a little embarrassed to say that before Friday, I really didn’t realise just how big Skechers are – I mean they’re actually one of THE biggest selling lifestyle & performance footwear brands (yes, I took notes when I was at HQ – nerd huh?!) in fact sales-wise, they’re pretty much on par with a brand that features a certain ‘tick’ symbol.

Now admittedly I’m normally a heels kinda girl [see: lives in heels and could run a marathon in them] however I am partial to the odd pair of swanky kicks, and with the new health & fitness regime that I’ve recently embarked on (Jillian Michaels you are killing me right now!) some really great sneakers comes in pretty darn handy these days, oh and sneakers featuring Memory Foam insoles that make you feel like you’re walking on little clouds of marshmallow – well that’s even better!

The Skechers Memory Foam insole liner

What an amazing morning at Skechers HQ! Not only did we hear all about the latest and greatest in Skechers footwear, we were actually lucky enough to be fitted with our very own pair of Skechers Memory Foam sneakers so that we could experience first-hand Skechers new technology in lifestyle and performance footwear (I chose a pair of the “Flex Appeal” in black, as not only will they make for a great pair of workout shoes, they’re also going to be a killer addition to a sports-luxe outfit). The best way I can describe these Skecher Memory Foam’s is “it’s like walking on clouds made of marshmallow”, alternatively, imagine walking around with pillows strapped to the soles of your feet. They are super-duper soft and comfy, yet give you an amazing supportive bedding that molds to the shape of your foot when worn and bounces back immediately after removing your feet from the shoes. They’re going to be perfect when I’m doing cardio workouts as they are designed to alleviate pressure and reduce impact via the cushioning. Now if I could just find a way to line all my high-heels with these Memory Foam insole liners…..hmmmm I wonder…… Sorry, I digress!!

If you want to know more about these new Skechers Memory Foam insoles, or perhaps you just want to see their entire footwear range (the mens range is really good by the way! I’m thinking my guy would love the “Wellington” in charcoal) then head to www.skechers.co.nz

To see more of what we got up to at Skechers HQ, and where we went for a little ‘foot pampering’, check out some of my snaps from the day…

The perfect spread – yummy goodies from RIPE catering and surrounded by shoes!! With the team at Skechers HQ.

I’m taking ‘shoe consumer’ to a whole new level….

Pretty sure there’s a nursery rhyme about this…

Hi-Top Skechers for kids – too cute!

The Skechers kids range is just soooo damn cute!

A giggle with the team at Skechers HQ

Time for our ‘Reflexology’ appointment at Bliss. Even the seat is lined with Skechers Memory Foam!
