Newtown Festival + This Week's Mail

Purchased by me

Hey lovelies,

Today our family headed out to the Newtown festival, an annual event here in Wellington. There was a great mix of stalls, with everything from handmade goodies to vintage gear, glitter mokos, children's rides and of course, lots of food stands! Noel and I stuffed ourselves with plain roti and hot cinnamon donuts, and Mike enjoyed a Moroccan lamb wrap (Noel and I stole bites too!).

Here are the goodies we picked up:

I thrifted this crazy bright crop top, my camera freaked out! I'm planning to wear it with a high waisted black pencil skirt :)

We got some Uncle Mike's Kansas City BBQ Sauce. This is the signature sauce of Petone restaurant Uncle Mike's Kansas City BBQ, and it's pretty yummy. We haven't been to the restaurant yet, but it looks pretty awesome! You can find their website here, they do ship their sauce anywhere in New Zealand if you'd like to try some!

I found a vintage Revlon polish called Sizzle! I'm not sure about the colour, but I couldn't resist a vintage treasure.

Noel got some awesome new goodies from my favourite handmade clothing seller, Silver Circus. Look out for a post on Silver Circus next week!

Digging into his Silver Circus goodies!

There was so much more I wanted to buy, but I restrained myself. I did pick up business cards from some of the stalls to check out their websites though. Here are some of the stores I loved and hope to buy from at a later date.

Handmade kids gear! I love buying handmade.

I couldn't find any pictures of the gorgeous raincoats they had today on their Facebook page, but how adorable is this Peter Pan collar dress? I need a little girl, cluck cluck!

I didn't get much in the mail this week, just a few pretty pieces of jewellery from Ebay. I wore this turquoise and gold bunting style necklace to the festival today, and I wore the balloon necklace earlier in the week, which you can see here.
