Keeping warm and staying stylish

There has been a bit of cold weather the last few weeks. The challenge is to bundle up and yet still maintain a sense of style.
The secret is in layering and great accessories.
Try a wool sweater over leggings paired with alpaca socks peaking over the top of boots. Add a colourful  hat and a colour coordinated pair of sunnies. A cosy scarf and a pair of gloves complete the look.

 

 

On milder days substitute a jacket for the sweater, try a felt hat instead of a toque and fingerless gloves instead of mitts.A chunky necklace can replace the scarf.

 There's a few more months of winter left, and lots of opportunities to refine your winter style, and add a little colour to your outfits to brighten up those dreary days.

Markets in New Zealand.

We have left Thailand, and are enjoying the sun and warm weather in New Zealand.
While in New Zealand we get to do a few local markets.
Our first was a big market held in our small town of Kawhia on New Years day The focus of the day are the traditional whale boat races.
There are lots of people around and it is a great opportunity to dust off our wares and offer them for sale.

 

There was lots of sun, and by the end of the day lots of sunburn.
