Let’s go shwoping!
So many clothes, so little time!
It’s been a while since our last Pretty Pretty Party, and given my current homelessness, it’ll probably be ages until the next one, but never fear! If you need to freshen up your wardrobe, you can still get your swap on, next Sunday:
The Big Shwop
Sunday July 25
Venue: The St James Theatre, Courtenay Place, Wellington
Time: 10 am – 2.30 pm
Tickets: $20 from our website: www.thebigshwop.co.nz, or just turn up on the day
R 18 event as alcohol is being served
Bring up to 20 items of clothing
Tickets are $20, but because there are strict rules for what people can bring in, you know that the clothes will be good. Also, there’s all kinds of added goodies on the day. The way it works is that you drop off your clothes between 10am-12pm, you get to drink some Momo wine until 1pm while the clothes are sorted, and then you go shwoping with your vouchers (you get one for every item you bring in). Also, you’ll get a full size Trilogy product – Everything Balm for the ladies and aftershave for the gents, as well as goodies from Eco Store. Oh, and you can bring in your old cleanser to get a new one from Trilogy too. So I’ll see you there, yes? Awesomesauce.
Holy fricking WOW!
As I already wrote about in advance, thanks to the lovely Barbara at the Wellington City Council, Kowhai, Robyn and I got to go to the Montana World of WearableArts Awards. It really did make me go wow, like, a lot. Obviously, it was more about the art than the wearable, but if I go through my experiences of the night in a loose semi-chronological order, I will pull out my notes about making some of it translate to real life, okay? Yes. It’s going to be a long post, so I’ll put it after a jump.

Outfits that make you go to WOW
The World of Wearable Art Awards are turning 21. It’s no longer an event held in a field in Nelson, so the decision about what to wear to the event is something that should be taken VERY SERIOUSLY. Kowhai, Robyn and I are lucky enough to be going along to the awards, and I must admit that I have been thinking less about what’s going to be on stage than what’s going to be on my back. Because of that, and because I had so much fun theoretically dressing Megan, I decided I would (totally unasked) do the same for them.
I have to say, the range of dresses online from physical shops in Wellington was pretty disappointing. I’ve gone with Principals dresses here because they suited my requirements, and also because the images are best for polyvoring with their white backgrounds. I decided not to bother keeping accessories local, and made my only requirement for them be that they were under $50US. After the jump, I get my polyvore on.
