All of these things sound good. Now according to the blog you plan what you will purchase (I love this part) by looking at gaps in your current wardrobe and then researching what you need. The trick is to spread out when you buy the items i.e. not all at once.<br />
<br />
So here are my 5 Winter Essentials for 2014:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.kowtowclothing.com/">Kowtow</a> Mustard Parka / jacket- love the shape and colour. This NZ eco label make divine clothing that lasts well and is the first thing I reach for in the morning.<br />

He creates huge format pieces that a super dramatic and filmic.<br />
The collection Beneath the Roses is set in small town Americana depicting scenes with untold crime / sexual exploits, violent acts have taken place. You get questions from his work but very few answers.<br />
His works unnerve me and I'm strangely fascinated with them.<br />
<br />
These images are from the Beneath the Roses collection.<br />

They offer a range of everyday fashion from ordinary people which is often a cheaper and more original way of dressing based on comfort, practicality and aesthetic. You can see geographical and seasonal trends. I love how New Yorkers cleverly cope with the heavy winter snows.<br />

Today I found a fabulous collection of large format fashion books in our local library so will be eagerly making my way through those.<br />
<br />
This one being a favourite- <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rare-Bird-Fashion-Irreverent-Apfel/dp/0500513449">Rare Bird of Paradise: The Irreverent Iris Apfel</a>. I adore this woman. She has so much outrageous courage and guts with her personal aesthetic. Plus she is 92! Extreme role model of style.<br />

One year and two days exactly.<br />
A lot happens in a year and two days. I have:<br />
- moved islands<br />
- changed jobs<br />
- had fabulous holidays<br />
- created a lot of randomly great things<br />
- practiced a lot of yoga<br />
- danced in a show<br />
- built a garden<br />
- sewed for the first time in nearly 10 years<br />
<br />
Too much to list but my New Years resolution will be to blog more and create more. Hopefully see you a bit more! x<br />

<br />
Look time since I have been on here. Things have been a bit too busy to keep up with it all. However with summer here and longer days life it feeling great.<br />
<br />
I have been catching up on a it of holiday reading and listening with my new favourite albums being Best Coast - brilliant fun summer tunes.<br />
<br />

<br />
The other new band that I discovered on <a href="http://active-listener.blogspot.co.nz/">The Active Listener music blog</a> which I really love are Kontiki Suite- beautiful vocals and big spacious guitar sounds. <br />

I read my book in the hammock, ate delicious local delicacies of seafood, cheeses and wine, the weather was unusual with wonderful sun and then the moodiest grey stormy skies.<br />
My father used to be a fisherman and he told me of a boat that I had visited about 6 months ago which he used to fish off and was originally Jacques Cousteau's first research vessel, 'Physalie', is now anchored about an hour away from my home and has been turned into a pirate cafe. Wonderful!<br />

I have recently started a new job teaching dance full time! I absolutely love it but have found dressing for it quite difficult. I enjoy dressing up and love clothes so the restrictions have made me be a little more creative in my style.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.kowtowclothing.com/">Kowtow</a> clothing have been great. An ethically produced New Zealand label. They are stocked in a great local shop <a href="https://www.facebook.com/troubleandfox">Trouble and Fox</a> which I couldn't be without in a small town.<br />

Things have been so hectic but I am back online now and very happy to be. My trip to Japan was insane, incredible and life-changing. Many stories...<br />
A few memories to share, biking through alleyways of red lanterns at twilight with my scarf around my face to fight out the cold, tiny dogs in clothing everywhere, cooking pancakes with a carnival man at a festival, walking two hours up to the most beautiful temple in the forest in Kyoto, going to an 8 seater sushi bar where no one spoke any English but we managed and had the best meal of my life with 9 plates stacked high, singing Bonnie Tyler 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' at karaoke.<br />

I leave in a few days to visit Japan for the first time. It will be winter so I am hoping for snow. Too late for blossoms so I will just have to imagine it. See you soon with amazing adventure stories! xx<br />

Due to my new savings plan I am limited to window shopping rather than the real thing, which I actually really enjoy more than the real thing a lot of the time.<br />
<br />
To let you in on some of my secrets, here are some of the lovely things I have been spying lately! There are links if you are interested in buying them, but please just enjoy them as beautiful artworks xx<br />

They have built separate accommodation for us at the back of the house and it feels like a retro artists retreat. We ate loads of delicious food, drank local wines, cooked, fished and cooked some more, swam and walked in the coastal rain forest. I also had a little time to read. Here are a few that I enjoy or want to enjoy!<br />
<br />
Joanne Harris is such an amazing author- she creates a modern fairytale of feminism and domestic bliss. I have read all of her books - The Lollipop Shoes is a great sequel to the popular Chocolat.<br />

It is a worldwide site of handcrafted or vintage goods by individuals or small crafters. I really love supporting these artists and I constantly find incredible things on it. I have had to start saving for various overseas trips so my appreciation of things things has to be from a distance- however I want you to enjoy them too.<br />

My house seems to be filling up with them. In two weeks I head to Japan on a scholarship so my origami skills will hopefully expand.<br />
<br />
Here are a few lovely examples of other peoples paper decorations and a great instructional video.<br />

I especially like the one-room studio type look. Open '70s look living. Although I imagine difficult with children (?)<br />
<br />
This time last year one of my dear friends got married and I made a thousand cranes (with the help of others!) for her wedding. The first photo has motivated me to make so more- I think enough time has passed.<br />

I love the natural beauty and simplicity that characterizes a lot of Scandinavian design and fashion. Understated.<br />
<br />
It makes me want to pack my bike full of tasty treats, throw on a light, floaty dress and speed through deserted, dirt country lanes in the late afternoon sun.<br />
<br />
What do you love most about summer? <br />

I think people go crazy at this time of year, buy too many things and things that only have a short life span.<br />
So here are a few of my gift ideas (hopefully my family aren't looking at this)...<br />
<br />
<br />
My sister is pregnant so I thought of these lovely little booties from <a href="http://www.tinyhappy.typepad.com/">Tiny Happy</a> on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a><br />
