GARETH

Gareth looked rad in a wild mix of prints. His jacket, T shirt and pants were all by Jamie Fame. His sunglasses were by Raen Optics. We loved the mismatched laces on his shoes by Kr3w.

FOUREYES ON WHITECLIFFE FASHION SHOW 2013 PART ONE

We recently attended the Whitecliffe Fashion Show 2013 which showcased the work of students from Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design. As always, it was a huge show with Years 2, 3 and 4 all showing their collections. We always find it quite exciting to see work from the earlier year students where there can be an impressive display of raw ideas and creativity. Click through to see the looks we liked from the Year 2 and 3 students. We'll show you our favourites from the final Year 4 students in a separate post soon.

JARRAD

We love a unique silhouette and Jarrad's was created by a beautiful, raw robe and pants by Otsu, teamed with a Company of Strangers top. The simple silver pendant by Meadowlark was the perfect accessory. We also loved the subtle clear perspex ring from Clash.

JENNY

Jenny's awesome silhouette was created by a lightweight cape and oversized top, both by Zambesi. Her jeans were from Storm and her embroidered bag was brought back from China. We loved her earrings by Kirsten Hayden which she bought at Fingers. Their gritty, beaded texture sparkled in the light. She teamed her look with classic white Converse.

YASMIN

We really liked the proportions of Yasmin's billowy pleated skirt that she picked up from an op shop along with her top. Her shoes were by River Island and the cute clear PVC clutch was by Capsul from Once'it. Her statement necklace with its giant jewels was another op shop find.

KAREN

We thought Karen's all-black look seemed polished without being predictable. The jacket and top were both by her own label, X-Plain and her pants were by Nom*d. We love the proportions of her bag by Alexander Wang. Her shoes were by Prada, sunglasses by Céline and her cute necklace was vintage.

ROSA

We liked the simplicity of Rosa's style including this coat from Ricochet over the top of a bomber from Ruby. Her t-shirt is by Commoners, her jeans by Cheap Monday and her shoes are by Kathryn Wilson.

KYLIE

Kylie looks stunning in these red hues. Her beautiful kimono is a vintage find and her shirt and shoes are by Kate Sylvester. Her pants are by Adidas, her bag is by Dries Van Noten and her glasses are by Miu Miu. Her rings are by Zoe and Morgan.

FOUREYES THE BOOK: THE COCKTAILS

For the FOUREYES book launch party last week we created a pair of cocktails using the incredible Black Robin Rare Gin and Blue Duck Rare Vodka, produced right here in New Zealand.

As you can imagine, we had a blast designing the cocktails and conducting all the necessary 'research' required. We came up with two summery and refreshing drinks. The FOUREYES Sweet | Sour, a strawberry and balsamic vodka-based cocktail, and the FOUREYES Cool | Hot, with gin, cool cucumber and spicy chilli.

The recipes are below for your drinking pleasure. Happy weekend.

2 rounds cucumber

OLIVIA

Olivia popped in a pink jacket by Coop paired with a beautiful and feminine dress by Kate Sylvester. Her ring is by Stolen Girlfriends Club and her shoes are by Bronx.

JACKIE

Jackie looked amazing in this monochromatic look with a shirt and jacket from Ann Demeulemeester and this extraordinary belt by Haider Ackermann. Her long oversized shorts are by Comme des Garcons, designed by Junya Watanabe and her beautifully shaped sunglasses are by Miu Miu. Her unique shoes are by Trippen.

CINDY

Cindy always looks amazing (see here for a previous post). We thought she looked absolutely stunning in an oversized blue knit and dress by D.Efect and sparkly Jimmy Choo shoes, perfectly and simply accessorised with some cool blue mirrored sunnies and a red lip.

CASEY & ULY

We loved both Casey's and Uly's unique looks that were relaxed and colourful with a couple of quirky details. Casey got his shirt from Topman, his shorts are by Kenzo and his mirrored sunnies are by Urban Outfitters. Uly looked stunning in a None the Richer top, skirt and accessories, Karen Walker sunnies and shoes by Guiseppe Zanotti.
