Did you watch New Girl this week? (New Girl episode 16) I did and I loved Jess's galaxy star print blouse... If you did too then check out Arielle Mermin's Tears Blouse in Stargazer! (oh and the Daydream tee and galaxy dress!)

While Wellingtonians were basking in the last rays of summer sun, someone, somewhere decided that we had had our fill of lovely weather and did a rain dance for the Capital (my guess is those festival chicks at Coachella). Anyone else get drenched like me and Claire this morning?
So, now that winter has well and truly hit Wellington, why don’t you check out some of the new arrivals for AW14 from Arielle Mermin, Silence Was... and High Noon Tea!
For extra cosiness this winter, you can’t go past Arielle Mermin’s new range of knits – her Infinite Scarf is an absolute store favourite, beautifully soft and super long! We’ve paired it with Arielle’s Desert Poncho (which comes in navy too) and a cool 13" satchel from Thick As Thieves. Check out the outfit below:
If you need some extra sparkle in your life, her Moonbeam Dress might be the one for you! A super cool knit dress with a little hint of sparkly gold thread.
And speaking of sparkles, my pick of the season is Silence… Was’ Midnight Sparkle Trouser! The trouser looks great paired with Mardle’s Just Relaxed Tee (which you can find here) or pair with the Rib top from Silence Was... – in store and online soon! Be quick, we only have one pair of these puppies left!
Silence Was... Midnight Sparkle Trouser and Rib Top.
Claire’s pick this season is High Noon Tea’s July dress. A versatile knit piece which can be worn with almost anything, Claire rocks this look with cowboy boots and a smile!
You can always trust High Noon Tea to do a great winter coat, and this year is no different. Introducing the Brooklyn Coat, a double-breasted, military inspired coat with bold feature buttons and a great wide collar to keep you warm. This style will be in store and online soon!
Keep warm over the long weekend everyone! Eat lots of chocolate and hot cross buns... and don't forget to enter our Easter competition in store! The winner will be drawn on Saturday.

About 8 or so years ago I was in a fancy store trying on fancy dresses and found a stunning Trelise Cooper 50s style hydrangea dress that upon trying on I didn't think I could live without - until I saw the price tag of $800..Mum/my right shoulder shopping devil! said 'Go on, just get it and put it on layby' - little did she know that if I did this her grandson would indeed eat nothing but noodles and white bread for well over 2 months, so ever so sadly I declined then walked out of the store empty handed.
For many, many years I thought, no no strike that, obsessed over this dress, hunted through Trade Me and Ebay listings and trawled second hand shops. Then one day in my wee Cuba Street store a lovely lass walked in wearing....the dress! (in my size no less!)....I gasped, held my heart and told her the story of how I tried it on and how I have searched far and wide and lusted after it for many moons. She said if she were to ever sell it she would contact me immediately. I thanked her and watched the dress walk out of my life.
Fast forward 3 or so dress-less years (despite more hunting, yes yes...obsessing!) to the current date.
One sunny February day The Madame Fancy Pants Facebook page received a message from the known dress owner/MFP customer saying she had moved to Auckland and stumbled across 'the dress' in a second hand store, in fabulous condition AND in my size and would I like her her to purchase it and send it to me - I of course squealed with girly delight and said YES PLEASE.
So, long story short, thanks to a gorgeous women who remembered a crazy shop lady lusting after her dress 8 odd years down the track I now am the proud owner of the Hydrangea dress. To be worn with cowboy boots for many years to come.
The end.
Thank you Trina!
