When jeweller
i isn't relaxing at her Pt Chevalier home - or collaborating with Jaime Ridge on a jewellery collection - she is busy hand-making her beaded range and working on her new collection, in stores in the next few weeks. She lists her favourite spots when not at work.
Dining ... S.P.Q.R, without a doubt, is my favourite. The food is great, the staff are exceptional and I love the passionfruit martinis, they are like summer in a glass.
Going ... My husband Karl and I head down to Omokoroa, just out of Tauranga, if we need a break from the city. We have just over an acre of land and a wee house down there - it's so peaceful and great to get away when we need to unwind.
Discovering ... Loving the Chevalier Point Cafe right now, they make great coffee and on a beautiful day, sitting in Coyle Park is just gorgeous.
Trying ... to stay on track with my exercise - as the days get longer and warmer, I feel like sitting out at night and having a few drinks.
Loving ... I love Pt Chevalier, the area is so gorgeous and still eclectic and a little old-school. I'm sure all that will change in the next few years as the houses get bought and "done up", but right now it's great and we love living here.
Shopping ... My favourite purchase of late is a faded-out black pair of Nudie Jeans from Superette, love them!
