An Impulse Purchas
Even if you haven’t heard of Sam Purchas, chances are you’ve seen him. When he’s not running unsuccessful campaigns for ACT MP of Dunedin North, he’s strutting around university in bright floral suits, polyester red coats, and paisley shirts. In a town full of Huffer surf tees and distressed Glassons jeans (which I’m not mad about; it’s better than the whole puffer jacket and striped shirt debacle of 2016), Sam...Harlene Hayne / Get The Look
“Regatta Chic Harlene” (pictured above) Harlene is here pictured pretending she cares about rowing by pouring a magnum of bubbly over a rowboat. Yes, that’s how you do the rowing, Harlene. Well done.

As any postgrad knows, it's much better to sniff lecturers out and catch them by surprise in the real world - that way they don't have time to ghost your emails or think rationally about what they're agreeing to. The first victim reminds me of my favourite Hi-Chew candy. They're...Stitch Kitchen: a Local Solution to a Global Problem
Fast fashion is an issue that is so big it sometimes feels hopeless. So much so that in first year after I watched a Netflix documentary called The True Cost I swore a silent oath that I wouldn’t buy any new clothing for a year. The good news is that there are lots of things you can do to minimise your own fashion waste, without having to sell your soul to Marx. One local social enterprise who are doing great things in the...
