I sooo love my set, it’s first outing was to the drone show over in Rotorua, I did a video in my car talking about my adventure for Matariki and this photo reflects my chosen look for the night.

I have included the KŌKŌ Manuka and Raspberry Dark chocolate in a special Chocolate and Coffee hamper for an upcoming fundraising concert I'm performing in, in June. Exactly what I was looking for :-)
Just received these earrings. Really like them 🌞 they have a nice weight to them. Super great quality for the price and they’re a nice size too for everyday!
Kia ora, thank you for this beautiful piece, fits perfectly gives me room for warmer under garments so I can show off the piupiu design, I can have it tied up or open flow, still looks great. Definitely buying another piece. 5🌟 from me.
We had the centenary celebration in Tonga of our all girls school. I wore my dress and pou to Pou e in NZ contingent's item. It was awesome. The livestream camera focused on me. Several people asked whether I was wearing a piupiu. They were in awe when I told them it was a dress with a puppy pattern
Love my mustard tartan overalls!! The colour, quality, fit and embroidered detail. I always wanted a pair, perfect excuse was a Harry Potter themed 50th and my recent 35kg weight loss glow up. Treated myself to a pair that I could wear repping Hufflepuff House lol and afterwards repping being 50 years young and fabulous!!
PS: So stunning I ordered the black and white pair too.
Kaore āku kupu ki te whakahua tōku aroha ki tēnei kākahu!
I love this top! It’s one of those pieces that you can wear with anything, anywhere — out on the whenua, mahi, or date night.
It’s comfortable, easy to move in, i feel really confident wearing it. I love the design, ko te tuarā tāku tino.
For me it’s the kind of piece that just fits into life naturally. Simple, beautiful, and made to be worn anywhere.
Ngā mihi nui.

I love my dress so much.
It’s so versatile, I have been dressing it up -to wear out in the evening.
Wearing it to the beach with my slip underneath and I’m super looking forward to wearing it —through winter with my merino underneath.
Most of all I feel so elegant in it 🤍♥️🖤oh I didn’t even mention wearing it with my Potae- hat tooo!
It’s the perfect dress to wear to mahi or uni during the day and then keep going and dress it up for a show or a pōwhiri. Love this timeless dress so much!
The dress is beautiful and looks just like in the photos. It's a bit too long on me because I'm too short though, so I'll have to hem it before I can wear it.
It was hard to see what the embroidered detail really looked like on the photos online, but it's very nice. Hope you can see it in the video :)
