Miranda Kerr is my style icon, her look is so stylish, bold and elegant. She always looks flawless but she never looks as if she has tried to hard. And as for her accessories, I think Orlando Bloom would look just great with my new dress!

The Holly Golightly Lifestyle
This guide to the lifestyle of the one and only, Holly Golightly contains everything you need to dress, live and think like Holly herself!
~ACCESSORIES~
Tortoiseshell sunglasses, over the elbow black gloves, kitten heels, pearls, diamonds and tiaras are among the vast collection of Holly Golightly's accessories. Always elegant and tasteful, Holly's accessories are bold and go with almost anything. I have two pairs of tortoiseshell, wayfarer style sunglasses myself which I adore and they are still, a very popular style of sunglasses. One of them, a vintage pair found in the back of my grandmother's drawer, which has probably been sitting in there for the last 50 odd years, is the most similar to Holly's as the frames are larger and oversized. This just goes to show that Holly's accessories are absolutely timeless.

~CLOTHING~
Bright, bold and beautiful are words that come to mind when describing Holly's wardrobe. I adore how she has minimal pieces of clothing, yet they are all of a very high quality and are classic, stand out pieces. Her staple piece, the little black dress, is safe, yet always elegant and classy. Even though we can't all have the original Givenchy number worn in the movie, there are many out there that look just as good. Avoid buying unnecessary, cheap items of clothing that will fall apart over time and aim to save for higher quality, timeless, gorgeous pieces to achieve the Holly Golightly wardrobe.
~APARTMENT~
Who else would have a sofa made out of a bath, keep there phone in a suitcase, ballet flats in there fridge and have a cat named cat? Only Holly Golightly could have an apartment filled with such absurdities! Original and unique, Holly's apartment is minimal yet contains extraordinary decor and furniture. When going for the Holly Golightly look in your apartment, I recommend searching through old thrift stores and vintage shops to find truly unique and individual pieces.
~WISDOM~

Huka Falls!
Last week I visited the Huka Falls in Taupo with my friend and my family. They were so amazing and the colour was so gorgeous!

Iko Iko
Homepage
Iko Iko started out as a little stall in a Wellington market and has grown into a gorgeous and much larger, gift and homeware store both online and on K Road in Auckland. They stock many cute and quirky items from homewares to books to stationary and many more gorgeous little things. After stumbling across their website I looked through the whole site and found countless things I wanted to buy! Unfortunately I don't have that kind of money but if I did I know exactly where I want to spend it! My favourite thing I found was the Rice Paper Mache Deer Head for $265 NZ and I am just in love with it! I contemplated asking for it for my birthday which is coming up at the end of the month but there is just too many other things I want as well and if I got that it would probably be all I would get! So go check out iko iko to treat yourself or find the perfect gift for someone else, it really is a gorgeous store!
