Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The point of this book is to explore my ideas for sartorial satisfaction, to tell the stories associated with my love of clothes and fashion, and to share the message of accidental sustainability.’ When Peta Mathias dug through the clothes she had stored away for twenty years in her shed, she realised it was full of valuable, beautiful items that were crying out to be worn again: ‘Fashion is mysterious, irresistible and alluring . . . they are not just frocks — they are beauty, art, history, emotion, memory, identity and, above all, joy.’ From this arose a new appreciation of buying well but cannily, so your clothes will not bankrupt you nor go out of fashion. Reviving her neglected wardrobe, Peta revelled in mixing fabrics, colours and patterns, considering how to make an impact and how that dull pair of shoes can be transformed into something just a little bit fabulous.

Download or read book Bedfords written by Wayne Stevenson and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2008-10-27 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a photographic celebration of the numerous Bedfords New Zealanders have owned and loved. From day one, Bedfords were quickly put to work in New Zealand. They were the backbone of many industries of the day - on the roads, land, farms, and wharves; in the forests, factories, towns and cities. Kiwis soon discovered that the reliable Bedford, with its sound engine, solid cab and versatile deck, could be adapted for 1001 purposes. The Bedford became the motoring equivalent of number 8 wire, its diversity and practicality epitomising Kiwi ingenuity. The Bedford and Kiwi connection continues today. Apart from past, current and future owners, this lively book will appeal to all those with a sense of adventure, a dose of nostalgia, a flair for the artistic, an interest in detail and a joy for all things Kiwi!
