RUBY’s Faux Fur collection is giving us major winter wardrobe inspo
Playful and mischievous as always, the RUBY Faux Fur collection is every animal lovers answer to the comfort of a fur coat. The collection features a variety of staple wardrobe pieces. The Pandora Jacket is among our faves, with its long fur and striking pattern demanding complete attention. If you prefer a more subtle statement, the Dolly Coat combines elegance and sass into one beautiful winter coat. The collection also features more casual wear such as a hoodie, rib sweater and even a dress. If that doesn’t warm you up under your faux fur deck out, RUBY’s charitable contributions might. Between Friday 27th April and Thursday 10th May, RUBY will donate $10 from every Faux Pas clothing purchase to the SPCA. Keep everyone warm this winter and head here for more.
Our Wednesday wine night is sorted, thanks to Clooney's
There’s nothing more comforting that proper Kiwi food. That’s why Clooney’s latest à la Carte menu will make them your go-to destination this winter. A reimaging of Kiwi classics with a gourmet twist, the à la Carte menu seems familiar on a surface level. Their selection of canapés is quintessentially kiwi – meat and two veg, fish and chips with L&P and ocean truffle. As you delve further into the coveted menu, it is clear that Clooney’s offerings will make this a dining experience like no other. Try their kingfish with daikon and green strawberries or their Wakanui beef with cherries. Guests can choose from a two or three-course menu and try their complete selection of delicious canapés. Pair that with their speciality wine list and make a night of it.
