These ladies dress for themselves - the ultimate use of fashion as expression. They don’t let the media tell them what it ‘in’ or ‘out’ and they all seem to be effortlessly elegant and glamorous. </p></blockquote><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CarlaNapier/~4/XSj1EJcRw64" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CarlaNapier/~3/XSj1EJcRw64/23537402709http://carlanapier.com/post/23537402709Tue, 22 May 2012 21:53:42 +1200http://carlanapier.com/post/23537402709<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m47qc3JXbu1qztfd7o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m47qc3JXbu1qztfd7o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/emmajanehighfield" target="_blank">Emma Highfield</a> sent me a lovely wee parcel in the mail the other day!<br/>It contained these amazing candels and some other goodies!<br/>Does this mean I have an exciting wee treat for you guys coming in the next few weeks or what!!</p> <p>For now Pop over to her <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/emmajanehighfield" target="_blank">facebook page</a> and check it out and push that wee <strong>like</strong> button! <em>Support New Zealand Talent!!</em></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CarlaNapier/~4/mzV5gJkSji4" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CarlaNapier/~3/mzV5gJkSji4/23283777602http://carlanapier.com/post/23283777602Fri, 18 May 2012 21:57:00 +1200new zealandfashiondesignemma highfieldsuprisegiftfacebookcarla napierhttp://carlanapier.com/post/23283777602HI!
