Weekly Roundup - 28 March

I can't lie - I'm a bit smitten with this Spring / Easter / pastel / enchanting weekly roundup that magically came together on my screen this week! This post is the last from us until next week as we're super excited to report the Toodles Noodles team is going on a mini holiday! Liora's parents are flying in from California and everyone is headed down to Wanaka for a lovely 9 days of wine tasting, sunshine, Fiordland touring, cheese eating, coffee drinking, relaxing bliss! You can most likely see what we're up to via our Facebook page, Twitter, and Instragram accounts as you know Liora can't resist snapping away. Hope you all have a very lovely long weekend and enjoy your Easter / Passover this week!

1. Jo Malone has introduced a limited edition collection named "Sugar and Spice" - with names like Ginger Biscuit and Lemon Tart, just spritz and bon appetit!
2. Caribou Coffee this week released their new branding with the slogans like “Life is short. Stay awake for it.”
3. As you are all are well aware I love cheese platters, loving this clever design by Caroline Gomez.
4. SpaRitual has released a new line for Spring titled Meditate, all of these colours are perfectly soothing and calming.
5. Soaked Lemon, Poppy Seed and Olive Oil Cakes - YUM!
6. J.Crew has teamed up with London's Liberty Art Fabrics, famous since 1875 for for its eye-popping florals and paisleys.

Have a fantastic long weekend everyone and we'll be back after next week! x

Weekly Roundup - 22 March

Is it us or did this week just fly right on by? We are happy to report that we've shipped off a big lot of wholesale orders this week so you can now find us stocked up around New Zealand! We even got a lovely surprise on our walk home tonight and found one of our new stockists had devoted their window display to our new tote bags. What an amazing surprise - it had us buzzing the whole walk home! Last week we sat down and did an interview for Mums on Top. There you can read more about how we manage our time, our dreams, and what keeps us going. The last little update from us - is we will not be at the Ponsonby Central Markets until after Easter - we will be heading down to Wanaka and the Sounds for a wee holiday! But you can always buy from us online, open all day, every day! With it technically being Autumn, it seemed appropriate to do a fun roundup on sweatshirts. There seem to be so many neat jumpers currently available!

1. Nicola and the Newfoundlander have a fantastic assortment of animal sweatshirts - but this Boston Terrier won my heart.
2. Darling hand embroidered onto cashmere, how could you not "ooh and ahh" over this one?
3. It may be a little past Valentine's Day but digging these candy hearts!
4. Love wearing your Mr's tops? This lovely top has just enough him and her.
5. The name says it all: Oh la la!
6. Here we have french, stripes, and a pup illustration - winning all around.
7. You all know I'm a sucker for anything nautical - the orange accent just hit the mark.
8. I've had a crush on this top for over a year - thinking this winter it will finally be mine.
9. Great design for a great cause - perfect.

Seen any good tops lately? Would love to see them! 'Till next time. x

Weekly Roundup 1 February

What a beautiful summer New Zealand has been experiencing these past few weeks! I don't think I've had this kind of heat and clear blue skies in years - and am loving it! One of the great things about living in Auckland compared to Wellington is that people love to wear colour - it reminds me of when I moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles. You go from an all black wardrobe to an assortment of brights and patterns - something this designer loves! One can't help but feel vibrant and happy when surrounded by brights! A lot of new things have been buzzing in the studio this past week!  We released our latest addition to the shop: baking decorations! Here you can find cake and cupcake toppers in all our designs. And don't forget, just like with any of our work - have something in mind but don't see it online - let us know and we can custom make it! We're also working furisouly away getting ready for the New Zealand Gift and Homeware Fair - our first trade show! Not to mention working on two new products to be released soon and a few markets coming up as well!  All to be released in detail soon..! Now enough talking and onto link sharing:

1.  Vibrant streamers and pom poms light up this barn in a heart felt Main wedding.
2. Loving the typography treatment on this poster by Luke Williams.
3. Gluten free has never looked so good - beautiful packaging by Nancy Hope.
4. In love with this hand painted flower garland cake topper - what attention to detail!
5. We found this shop earlier this week on Etsy and fell in LOVE - everything is just amazing!
6. Rhubarb Ice Cream with Oatmeal Shortbread, don't mind if we do.
7. J.Crew has come out with a new line of boat shoes - I'll take one in every colour and pattern please.

I hope you all have a great weekend and stay tuned for more announcements and February's wallpapers! x

Weekly Roundup - 30 Nov

My oh my who can believe we're onto our last day of November 2012!  I can still remember last year as if it were yesterday... still living in Wellington, just printing our 2012 calendar, getting excited for my parents visit to New Zealand...oh how time flys! With time flying so quickly it helps us realise how much we really do have to cherish the little moments and those special people around us. With that I came up with this week's roundup - a simple but elegant collection of different gifts for the sisters / mothers / friends in your life!  I personally sent off my mom and sister's gifts in the post today (next time must think feather light pressies!) as tomorrow is the last day for internation air parcels to arrive on time! (a little hint hint for those waiting to purchase items x)

1.  This week I discovered Sprout and Sparkle from Brisbane, Australia and frankly would be over the moon to receive anything from their beautiful store!
2. What better way of saying hello to those close to you than a cheeky reminder in their wardrobe.
3. Have lots of gifts to buy this year? This lovely pamper package by Little Flower Soap Co is sure to bring a smile without breaking your wallet!
4. For a personal touch try a monogram mug available from Anthropologie.
5. These funky socks from J.Crew will surely brighten up your stocking stuffers!
6. Want to give something a bit more personal? Baking is a fantastic affordable way to show you care this season!
