LIBRARIES AND FASHION go together like ...

.. well according to the stereotype and the news media recently, they don’t. However, it didn’t stop me dying my hair red (for a good cause), although debate about whether my fashion sense is actually stylish is still continuing. But if you can’t have a little laugh at yourself and take your sense of humour into the workplace, then the days would be really boring. And life in the library is never that.

Actually, introducing fashion into the blog today, is just my way of highlighting that it is Air New Zealand Fashion Week this week. Yes, spring is the time the collections from our top designers hit the catwalks for those that can to ooh and aah in person, and those that can’t to read about it all in the magazines, newspapers and blogs. The NZ Herald has lots of information under their Fashion & Beauty page.

As well as the industry shows, there are events open to the public, but you may have to be quick. Tickets are available at Ticketek for Air New Zealand Fashion Week 4Y, Designer selection shows, Fashion Plate restaurant, the Designer Garage Sale (hugely popular) and the wrap party.

Meanwhile, this librarian is just going to sit back and dream a little, about what a well dressed librarian should be wearing over summer, before I hit the wardrobe for a spring clean.
