I'm not usually a puffy girl but I'd wear that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2338810 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 06:56:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 2338810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie and Avicenna for chiming in!

Not a place usually associated with fashion that I knew of! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337600 Mon, 04 Sep 2023 16:09:36 +0000 Carla 2337600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress under the puffer is gorgeous! The outfit is an interesting exercise in juxtaposition. &nbsp;The tennis inspired outfits are goofy fun!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337592 Mon, 04 Sep 2023 15:24:21 +0000 rachylou 2337592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So awesome!

(I never visited but used to have an acquaintence in Auckland -sadly we aren't anymore in touch...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337544 Mon, 04 Sep 2023 07:54:59 +0000 Sally 2337544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous pink puffer and I like the long green coat in picture 3 though.&nbsp; You managed to capture the sunshine before it left.&nbsp; &nbsp;I hope it comes back again.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337538 Mon, 04 Sep 2023 05:48:46 +0000 Helen247 2337538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Jenni.</p> <p>Are the students you referring to from Dunedin?<br /> As for the fashion week I believe that many have lost the lustre of yesteryears.<br /> For me it was always seeing the people on the streets of whichever city it was reported from.<br /> The best fashion show I recall, not a part of Fashion week was in Sydney by fashion design students designing from existing/recycled garments.<br /> The pink puffer is a piece of art. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337523 Mon, 04 Sep 2023 03:10:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 2337523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! Cardiff girl, I’m with you in that I was actually kind of horrified by how many hours that dress and coat must have taken to make. But it’s a bit like our other competition the “World of Wearable Arts” I suppose- some people really want to express their creativity and will spend countless hours doing so.<br /> Otherwise I was a bit disappointed in a way by the day- there were very few stalls, only one skincare one, two bars (and I decided not to have any alcohol at lunchtime on Sunday) and some not fab food. The lack of the designer garage sale to fill in time between my 2 shows was a pity. I actually left the venue in between and ate lunch at an off-site cafe.<br /> I read an article about the Fashion Week not being nearly as good this year. It was hyped up but I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost money this time.<br /> Still it was fun to see the 2 shows. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337518 Mon, 04 Sep 2023 02:02:52 +0000 Jaime 2337518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super Jenni!

We're heading into fall, and although I love fall what follows it is not something I'm looking forward to here in Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337432 Sun, 03 Sep 2023 03:21:49 +0000 Bijou 2337432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit is a work of art! Gorgeous to see your beautiful city too which is picture perfect.

I think it was built in 1997. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337421 Sun, 03 Sep 2023 01:44:58 +0000 Suz 2337421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, how gorgeous! That dress and puffer are gorgeous! Just wow wow wow! Love the views of Auckland, too. It looks like you have something like Toronto's CN tower there! Beautiful blue skies. And how fun to get out and about again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-puff#post-2337419 Sun, 03 Sep 2023 01:30:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 2337419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s officially Spring for us! And after a 4-year pandemic hiatus, NZ Fashion Week was back. It didn’t look as much fun as in the past and no longer had the Designer Garage Sale, but the night before I decided to give 2 shows a go on the last day Saturday.<br /> One was some design awards based in a small town at the bottom of our country, an incredible 35 years of them- school students and adults enter. My fave outfit of those that had won categories was sewed by an adult, incredible amount of work with mesh dress and tiny mesh rosettes on the huge puffer jacket. The supreme winner sewed by a high school student was a set of 3 outfits based on tennis.<br /> The second show was of 4 brands based in a fashion area- one all styled with flat white sandals ( showing toes!) and another with cowboy boots. Many waistcoats ( vests to some of you) on offer. And a few bright florals which were my faves.<br /> It was also the best weather we have had in Auckland in months, couple of pics attached of our waterfront area.<br /> So after the second show I bought a gelato </p>
