~ Strawberries. Oh yum! I also enjoyed the strawberry riot at the Pak'n'Save sale bins yesterday as shoppers clamoured to stock up on 99c punnets of deliciousness.
~ My best friends. My 4 best Wilder Women all live in different cities/countries from me at the moment, but I'm feeling the love from afar this week. And super especially excited that Lisa is flying into town for the weekend to attend my baby shower. That woman rules!
~ Chow's Blue Cheese & Peanut wontons.
~ Edward Scissorhands.
~ Lady Mondays at Evil Genius. And this fantastic poster that Oscar designed for us:

~ Getting called Aunty by a middle-aged man.

TAMER

~ Wellington's Spring winds. Again.
~ Third Trimester pregnancy issues. Baby is getting heavier, sleepless nights...
~ Heavy rain on the day I want to hang my sheets out on the washing line.
~ John Key.

A Wilder Shade of Nail

Today I'm wearing Maybelline Express Finish in Berry Boucle.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a pic of this before it started to chip.

I imagine this shade should be worn with a pretty floral dress and white lace fingerless gloves to a picnic at a rose garden, with a soundtrack of Ragamuffin Children, Rosy Tin Teacaddy & Ella Fitzgerald. There would also be the feeding of ducks at this picnic.

 This is what I wore to the Island Bay School Fair. And then to stand on some random pole/log in.

Jandals ~ The Warehouse
Tights ~ Columbine
Dress ~ Bought from an outlet store in Otaki

Belt ~ Farmers (Gift)
Bag ~ Gift

 T-Shirt ~ Max (Gift)
Sunglasses ~ Op-Shopped
Yeah, I totally put my sunglasses on inside so I could get a pic of them. I'm a badass.

Necklace ~ Made by a friend of my Mama's. You maybe can't see very well here, but those are little Tiki on the medallions.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, a Special Guest!!!

Apa wore:

Hat ~ from a men's clothing store in Nelson
Sunglasses ~ The $2 Shop
T-Shirt ~ Evil Genius
Shorts ~ Op-Shopped
Bare Feet & Silly Faces ~ 100% his own making

Wilder Wardrobe

Skirt ~ Marks & Spencer (Op-shopped)
Shoes ~ From some Asian mini-mart type store in Napier

T-Shirt ~ Gift

Amber ring ~ Gift from my sister who bought it at a market in Poland
Earrings ~ Gift from another sister who bought them at an antique shop in Napier

Completely random coincidence that 2 of the items I am wearing here were purchased in Napier.

I wore this out for lunch with Apa, then to my friends' place to visit their brand new one day old beautiful baby girl.

A Wilder Shade of Nail

I have a not so secret obsession with nail polish. I even paint nails occassionally at a monthly market stall. Here's what I'm wearing today:

That's Revlon's Amethyst Smoke. Pretty. And after 4 days it is only just barely starting to chip. That's a miracle for me. Usually my nails look a mess the day after a manicure.
