1. Shop: Harris Tapper's autumn-winter collection, 'Composition'
A label known for its effortless elegance and sculptural minimalism, this week Harris Tapper debuted its autumn-winter ‘Composition’ collection.
Made up of reliable foundation and statement pieces in pale hues, classic neutrals, and a bright ‘Klein Blue’, Composition juxtaposes both avant-garde and softer feminine styles. We have our eye on the heavy wool coating, tuxedo suiting, exaggerated ball gowns, and fluid satins.

4. Visit: Auckland's newest rooftop bar, Sunset
Auckland has yet another rooftop bar — the newest being a haven for enjoying a carefully concocted tipple while taking in the views of the setting sun.
Aptly named Sunset, it’s hidden atop Auckland’s Sudima Hotel and takes cues from a cosmopolitan melting pot of culture-shaping bars worldwide. The menu offers moreish Mumbai-inspired street eats, designed by executive chef Harmeet Singh Nanda.
With many delectable food and drink pairings, we’re longing for the Sunset Spritz’ (aperitivo blend, apricot, and sparkling rosé) and the vanilla and cardamom parfait with mango curd.
5. Support: Period equity with Eve x The Period Place
