My Second Favourite NZ Sale!

2008-01-21T17:38:00.000+13:00

Obviously my favourite sale of this season had to be The Floozy Sale, with fantastic bargains galore!
But runner up was definitely the sale at Untouched World, which I believe is still on! I was in the Christchurch store last week and picked up this beautiful "Kowhai Dress", wonderfully cool for the heatwave we're enjoying at the moment, it makes me feel very girly & feminine!
Sadly, this great New Zealand clothing store doesn't offer online sales, but you can download the latest catalogue from their website and telephone one of the stores to place your order.
The clothes are all designed and made in New Zealand, from gorgeous fabrics, including Untouched World's trademarked "Mountain Silk Merino" and soft organic cotton.

Coming Soon! The Heart Ware USB

2008-01-21T17:11:00.000+13:00

Hurrah! Expected in store some time in February, the newest addition to the Philips/Swarovski Active Crystals Range.
This gorgeous Heart Ware USB ($370.00), which can be worn as a stunning necklace, is both pretty and practical! A perfect gift to the one you love or for yourself! (You know you deserve it)
Once again we'll be one of the first online stockists to introduce this baby to our New Zealand Customers, to pre order yours email floozy@floozy.co.nz

Bad luck, Invercargill!
For the rest of us, it's time to light the BBQ and mix jugs of summer cocktails!
You may need to grab your hat from the closet to protect yourself from those damaging rays! If your tired baseball cap needs updating, we loved the selection of funky hats in the summer edition of NZ's favourite fashion glossy, Fashion Quarterly!
We'd also like to recommend Nicola Martin's "Muffin Stripe" hat available online at Floozy!
