night owl

It's an obsession, it's owls. My love of birds has taken me from flamingoes to fantails that flap into my day and make me smile. But owls do it above all. Once you start looking you'll see them everyone, keep a daily tally and tell me. Better yet send me pictures of your favourites.

Here are some of mine...too whit too whoo. x.

We love our locals

emma has a new stockist and it's close to home!

Good Score is on the Parade, Island Bay, and is run by talented and beautiful sisters Nell and Kirsty. You can find treasures from vintage handbags to contemporary jewellery and a great selection of hand-picked clothing by local labels.

It is perfect for summer shopping in the suburbs.

Opening hours are Thursday-Saturday.

(check out the 'market-days' through summer)

Well worth a stop as you cruise the south coast.

Owls and starry nights at ANZFW

Paul Densem @ teaspoon (Island Bay based of course!) made this fantastic animated film for emma which set the mood brilliantly for the show.

Leaving the comfort of your crackling campfire enter a moody fairy-tale forest on a starry night, with the cutest owls coming along to keep you company, as you get lost with emma. 

Also there's a video of the Verge Breakthrough show featuring emma on the link below:

It's almost like being there:)

MEOW...catwalk @ Fashion Week

No cameras allowed backstage at Fashion Week... but as I totally wanted you all there to share the experience I've got a few catwalk shots the lovely Owen took as sneak peek of my winter 09 collection 'lets get lost'. x.

Wellington designer fashion show

Ok, so I'm addicted to shows it's official!

Hot on the heels of ANZFW is the Buy New Zealand Made Fashion Show next Wednesday 22nd October 7pm.

Hosted by Samuel Marsden school with 100% of proceeds going to Canteen, go team, you'll get to see the new season collections from great designers (like ME!) throw some money around at a charity auction and groove with a performance by hip-hop group Emerge. Nibbles and goodie bags included,yah!

So get your ticket today from fashionshownz@gmail.com or from the office at Marsden.

Only 25 bucks.

Please support this event as it's been a real community effort and is a great cause.

Cheers and see you there.

It's Fashion time!

As my first fashion week s-day (show-day) is fast approaching I am looking forward to getting to Akld and doing it! NZFW is a well oiled machine and emma just a wee part of the patchwork.

In the Verge Breakthrough group show there are 5 new labels on show, including moi, with one of us taking away a prize of $10,000 at the end of the show. 

How does that work? Well-the front two rows get to vote directly after the show is over for their fav - so fingers crossed for e-m-m-a!

I'd love you to be there and add to the clap-o-meter so drop me a line if you'd like a ticket.

I know it's hard to get away from the beautiful Wellie town but if you have a city of sails pal to represent that's sweet too.

They may even like to make a day or three of it and buy tickets for the Designer Selection show which runs straight after and features a tasty bite of the Fashion Week designers in-season and winter ranges. 

Look on www.nzfashionweek.com for details under designer selection show or public events.

Got to be in:)

Mix it up

As my new season collection 'picturebook' is just about to hit the stores here's some pics of the spring styles that are up first. The pepperdot dress  (in first pic) is perfect for looking gorgeous and girly and there's a line of eco-friendly tees with  sweet picturebook prints that we'll live in everyday- once the temps rise!

Check out stockists from mid August:)

Just heard from Christine at mix it up and she's done an emma write-up on her website.
