Phoenix Renata of Phoenix Cosmetics sits down to chat 20 Questions with me, about creativity, the challenges of a small business, and staying true to yourself.

In this month's Business Showcase, I have a little chat with Cathy about how she got started with Rita Sue, and the inspiration behind this New Zealand brand. Rita Sue Clothing is a quaint little boutique situated inside St Kevin's arcade on K Road, Auckland. 

I met with Amy A.K.A Miss Hero Holliday at the very fitting Parnell Rose Gardens for a few photos and a lovely afternoon chat recently. It was beautiful weather during our conversation at the gardens so we covered almost everything about life, learnings, and of course everything style.

A beautiful Dress from the Gatsbylady London straight out of the 1920s; a special feature with Miss Hero Holliday who styled my hair for this special occasion outfit amongst the wisteria.
