You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I love that cardigan! Browns and turquoises together are one of my favourite colour combinations.

First, ugh, that really is an ordeal, and I hope you’re through it very soon. Second, I’m reading and enthusing madly about H G Parry’s first novel, ‘The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep’. Fantasy set in a contemporary Wellington. Lots of insider jokes about Welly and English lit.

No Ms Stanford, parents should be furious at a govt & a minister who continually under-resource, undermine & undervalue teaching professionals, & having received a 10% MP pay rise refuses to countenance a rise for teachers that even keeps pace with inflation. #nzpol
