the lovely folks at apparel magazine were nice enough to ask us to think of one garment coming for next season that we were pretty excited about - how could we go past this bernhard willhelm dress?? click to enlarge the article, and a huge thanks to apparel for the very kind words!

k t zoo

take a look at this wonderful article by diane pernet on marjan pejoski and his label ktz - we love how they describe the ktz collection delivering soon "the pulse of the current collection is a 90's party vibe that uses a powerful symbol of a cross mixed with tribal influences from papua new guinea.". think quilted tribal applique on over sized tee's, metallic and jewel encrusted crosses (very prince and the new power generation...) and interlocking rope prints reminiscent of early versace. can't. hardly. wait.

zoo magazine is pretty awesome too, and currently available at borders. snap it up!!

(don't) stop it right now

it's easy to forget on your daily trawl of the blogs that they are in-fact an amazing way to connect with like minded people - blogs after all are a small yet intimate glimpse into someones world, where they are willing to share their current obsessions, thoughts and beliefs. 'stop it right now' was recently introduced to us, and we were immediately smitten with her killer style, her love of ann-sofie back (coming to children of vision this season), and her dry sense of humour. after getting in contact she was lovely enough to do a little write up about the store, and my label 'jimmy d' and the new spring/summer collection due in-store in august. awwww bless!!

make sure to check out 'stop it right now' here, you'll be inspired we promise!

if you like it then you should put it on a ring

digby and iona is a new york based accessory line that make cute but darkly humorous jewellery (a combination we are rather fond of here...), so when we saw their latest collection 'the wood' and in particular the above stump ring we got pretty excited. the best thing about the ring is that it can be customized with two sets initials that they etch into the love heart by hand! 

so after talking with the lovely folks at digby and iona we'd like to offer you the opportunity to order your own stump ring complete with your choice of initials (don't worry, for all you lonely hearts it comes plain too!! email us for more info) and to make the whole thing even more exciting everyone that orders this custom ring before the 11th of june goes into the draw to win a $200 children of vision voucher redeemable online and in-store.

to see all the details and order either click here or pop into our auckland store.

it's the perfect gift for a loved one, or just to immortalize that justin bieber crush you've recently developed...
