Painting for a cause

Twenty one very brave women are baring all for charity, but to see the pictures you need to help. The Pink Ribbon Project has body painted 21 beautiful Kiwis to raise funds for Breast Cancer New Zealand.

All the women involved have been affected by breast cancer. Featuring well known New Zealanders Jools Topp, Liz Mitchell, Anne Thorp, Kat Wong, Helena McAlpine and Gwendoline Smith, the images are to go into a calendar, to go on sale in October. Right now the Project is up on PledgeMe, as the team don't yet have enough money to take the calendars to print. Check out the behind the scenes video and contribute to the cause at pledgeme.


Celebrate and collaborate

Hip boutique Superette is fast becoming known for its fabulous and lust worthy collaborations with top New Zealand and international designers. This month marks their 10th anniversary and the release of two more covetable colabs - jewellery in partnership with Meadowlark, and footwear by cult label Beau Coops. Taking elements from Meadowlark's current Love Cats collection, the silver ring and pendant feature sassy leopard print embossing. And designed with the Superette girl in mind, Beau Coops designer Carrie Cooper has redesigned her popular Scand boot, available in black and tan leather with contrast stingray detailing. The jewellery is available in stores and online now, but you'll have to wait for September 5 (the week of Fashion Week) to get your Beau Coops boots.

What do you think of Kate's style?

She's classic and elegant.
