Summer in New Zealand is really from late December to mid-late March, making now the prime time to get your swimsuit on and head to the beach. If you’ve decided that you’re going to rock a two piece this summer and want a bit of extra coverage on your tummy or you love the look of vintage swimsuits then high waisted is the way to go.

I read a lot of articles when I was at uni about the wearing of black in Kiwi culture, including Doris De Pont’s Black: History of Black in Fashion, Society and Culture in New Zealand, which is well worth a read if you can get your hands on a copy. I’ve always loved wearing black, and as New Zealanders we wear a lot of it, so I thought I’d offer up some of my favourite basic black pieces for the upcoming autumn/winter season.
Aussie Curves: New Years Eve
Someone asked me what I was wearing for New years Eve, and I jokingly answered “a bikini”. Well, it turns out that’s actually what I wore! I spent NYE at the beach with friends, swimming and relaxing, and it was bliss!
Trend Tip: Denim
Denim is not so much a trend as it is an enduring classic. It’s pretty much a Winter essential, so here are a few of my fave denim pieces around at the moment.
No longer is denim restricted to straight legged jeans, there are jeans of all different styles and colours, as well as shirts, dresses, skirts, and of course, the ever cool denim jacket.
However you decide to embrace the denim trend, let us offer this one piece of advice: only wear one piece of denim at a time. Double denim should be reserved for cowboys and awkward family photos…
The denim jacket is such a classic piece that I couldn’t go past this one – while there are heaps of denim jackets out there (including some you’ll see a little further down the page), this unadorned number really reflects traditional denim jacket design. No colour, no embellishments, just denim awesomeness. View Post
