Fair Enough Wellington
- Texture
- It may only be symbolic, but it might just prove to be a very powerful symbol at that. On Friday night, the Council unanimously voted for Wellington to become New Zealand’s first Fair Trade city.

knitted hot-dogs and bunny quilts
- Texture
- Even though this winter hasn't been as harsh as Wellington winters of past, keeping warm still should be a number one priority. Sometimes, this means forgoing cocktails for tim-tams and movies under a soft, comforting quilted blanket (maybe with bunnies on it?), but if you are anything like me usually you can't keep still and are not very good at just relaxing- unless it's a terrible hangover. That's why I'm thinking of taking up knitting so movies, blankets and indulgent biscuits are a little justified. Maybe knitting and its sweet purity will even stop my drinking, either way today I found a new store that may inspire this possible new pastime of mine.

Fashionable Princesses
- Texture
- With Wellington now having its own Paper Bag Princess, there is even less reason to visit Auckland. The second hand clothing store has been hiding down in the corner of Left Bank Arcade for a while now, and rumour on the street is that more and more people are discovering its goodness.
