KEY POINTS:
Once again this year various New Zealand fashion designers have lent their style skills to Glassons to come up with range of unique T-shirts, the sale of which will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Trust. It's been six years since Glassons started doing this and to date they've raised more than $2.8 million for the trust. This year the designers taking part in the fund-raising campaign, called Shake It For Good, are Karen Walker, Kate Sylvester, Trelise Cooper, Zambesi, Ruby, and Cybele - all of whom have done this before. There are two new designers involved too, Chris Cherry from Workshop and 24-year-old Japanese graphic designer Jun Arita, who won a competition to get his design in the campaign. The T-shirts - they cost $29.99 with $10 of that going to the charity - are on sale at Glassons stores nationwide or on the Glassons website, www.glassons.co.nz
Bathing beauties
Forget ducks, dots and even flowers. Invest in one of the coolest shower curtains you've ever seen, at the Jaimie boutique. The Izola shower curtains, designed by off-duty fashion industry insiders in the US, feature black and white scenes from exotic locations like Venice and New York. They cost $75, they're made with environmental considerations in mind and they're bound to put your old towels to shame and make bathtime a more cosmopolitan affair. Call the Jaimie boutique (09) 361 4000, see the whole range at www.izolashower.com, and if they don't have what you want in stock in Auckland, then check Australian homewares site www.tdhomewares.com.
