5 things we loved this week

Resort season has officially landed, bringing with it a fresh wave of summer fashion. Plus, high tea with a twist and a charming new Pandora collaboration.

1. Rebe does Resort

Every season, we eagerly await Rebe’s latest drop, and Resort ’27 certainly hasn’t disappointed. This time around, the brand is bringing a sense of occasion to its signature silhouettes, playing with texture, volume and movement in all the right ways. Think shimmering sequins, fluid satin and featherweight sheers, with clever draping and adjustable ties adding interest to familiar shapes. Our standouts? A sparkly turtleneck made for summer nights out, a sheer sage-green top and skirt set, and a cotton voile dress in the same dreamy hue, complete with a voluminous bubble hem. Needless to say, our wishlists just got a whole lot longer.

2. Consider us charmed 

Pandora is embracing its playful side, teaming up with acclaimed Australian artist CJ Hendry for a collaboration that’s equal parts art, jewellery and collectable obsession. Meet juju & friends x Pandora, an impossibly cute cast of characters available in 10 exclusive colourways. From 5–15 November, spend $120 or more in-store and receive a complimentary juju & friends blind box bag charm. The fun doesn’t stop there, either. You can also have your favourite character engraved onto select Pandora charms, bringing a little personality to your everyday jewellery rotation.

3. Best foot forward

Your summer shoe wardrobe is about to get a serious upgrade, courtesy of Bronwyn Footwear’s latest Resort collection. Sculptural heels, sleek mules and easy summer staples arrive in a dreamy palette of mint suede, chocolate patent, warm tan and vanilla. Among our favourites? The Demi, a modern take on the toe-thong with a sculptural wedge, and the Jagger, a contemporary flatform  that makes a compelling case for comfort without compromising on style.

4. Dressed to impress

Long summer days that turn into even longer nights? RMN Studios has just the wardrobe for both. Aptly titled Staying Out, the label’s latest Resort ’26 collection is all about effortless dressing, with slip dresses, camis, boxer shorts and breezy maxi skirts taking centre stage. Chocolate brown is the star of the show, appearing in silky satins trimmed with powder-blue lace and playful star prints.Landing across three drops from November to January, there’s plenty to look forward to all summer long.

5. Tea with a twist

Who says high tea has to be traditional? Park Hyatt Auckland is giving the afternoon ritual a refreshing new twist with its latest high tea experience, where seasonal flavours, delicate pastries and a little gin take centre stage. Curated by Executive Pastry Chef Callum Liddicoat and his team, the menu brings together an enticing selection of sweet and savoury creations, accompanied by a Harbour Breeze cocktail made with Cardrona Source Gin. Add sweeping views of Auckland’s waterfront and you have all the ingredients for a perfect afternoon. Available Thursday to Sunday, 12 – 3.30pm.
