Gurl Interrupted
A Girl Interrupted By Fashion, Beauty & Anything Pretty That Catches My Eye
If you haven’t yet discovered Mr W. & Me, then it’s probably safe to say that you personally don’t fall into the ‘shoe-obsessed’ category, as Mr. W & Me is pretty much the hottest go-to for shoes! No chain-store shoes for this online store, Mr. W & Me stock only the highest quality (and super affordable) select range of footwear, only those that they deem worthy (and I have to say, I agree with all their selections they deem worthy). Mr. W & Me have been popping up all over the show – NZFW, VIVA, Remix Magazine, you name it, their shoes are noted and coveted. After discovering Mr W and Me some time ago, I featured them here on Gurlinterrupted.com as I was so enamoured (you can read about it here: 
You all know my love [see: obsession] for DRY & TEA. Well, why not treat your loved one to a hair treatment of their choice with a DRY & TEA gift voucher. They can choose from DRY & TEA’s extensive menu that offers everything from a blow wave to an up-do, a specialised cut and colour service, to tints, foils & belliage. There’s nothing DRY & TEA don’t do when it comes to the full-service hair salon! Maybe a ‘mens mini groom’ for your guy, or the ‘catwalk and party ready’ for your girl. No matter the service they choose, they’ll be looking fab in no time. If you choose to get your gift card from the uber-trendy City Works Depot, then I have to recommend you see Kurt (and YES – I’m biased, because he’s my stylist and he’s beyond amazing!). Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that they share a space with Petal Cupcakes and have a tea menu to die for! For more info head to 
Ok, so I don’t know about you, but my guy is obsessed with poker! Whether it’s online, having his mates over for a friendly match, or heading out to a local pub tournament, he’s there! Gosh I’ve made him sound like a gaming nerd – he’s really not (to be fair, I think he probably got into it when pondering what to do during those hours I have my hands glued to the keyboard blogging), he just really enjoys playing poker when he has some down time, and it seems, after talking to my guy-friends, poker is where it’s at! It would seem it’s the hottest hobby on the block right now. So, wanna be the ultimate better half, mate, sibling… how about something from

If you’re after skincare that TRULY provides an ever-youthful appearance that effectively delivers on fighting the signs of ageing, you cannot go past Elizabeth Arden’s PREVAGE range. The Anti-ageing Treatment Boosting Cleanser provides a multi-dimensional approach to deep cleansing that is second to none! It promotes cell renewal and focuses on enzymatic exfoliation that leaves skin more receptive to further anti-aging treatments, such as the PREVAGE Anti-aging & Intensive Repair Eye serum. This Eye serum has had such amazing results; it’s said to reveal youthful look eyes after just one use! Whilst it’s on the expensive side – with good reason – this is the BEST anti-aging eye serum you could ever purchase for your beauty babe wanting to erase the signs of time. It is hands down the best anti-ageing product I have ever used. I call it the ‘peter pan’ of skincare. I may not know what it is that makes this serum work, but I know that it does!
