Style File - Stephanie Hopkins

SPOTTED ...   

She was stepping out the door looking as though she was ready for something..

WHERE ARE YOU IN THIS PICTURE?  

On Kent Terrace. I was on my way to meet friends for a drink at the Wellington Club 

I AM ... 

About to again head overseas as a VSA volunteer - first stop PNG and then Timor-Leste. But I am usually a manager in the film/tv industry.

I GOT MY OUTFIT FROM ...

All over the place! Dress from my sister in Christchurch, scarf from France, coat from Blenheim (years ago!), ankle tattoo from Rarotonga, shoes from Ultra in Wellington 

IT REFLECTS MY PERSONALITY BECAUSE ...

 It is eclectic and full of contradictions. It’s kind of conservative but with a twist.

I’D NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD WEARING ...

Anything too revealing....like a mid riff top or a bikini in public!

IF MONEY WEREN’T AN ISSUE, I’D FILL MY WARDROBE WITH

Clothes from mostly NZ designers (Richochet, Trelise Cooper, Annah S, Andrea Moore) plus a little bit of Armani maybe and lots and lots of European shoes - I love shoes!

WHO’S YOUR STYLE ICON?

I seem to have developed my own style over the years but, I have two aunts who are the most stylish women I know - the kind that look like they belong on the cover of Vogue regardless of what they are wearing. I will always look up to them

  • Making housing affordable 27/03/2013 10:06:00 a.m. With home ownership rates falling and many struggling to play higher rental costs, making housing affordable has risen to the top of the political agenda.
    Joel Pringle, campaign manager for Australians for Affordable Housing, and Charles Waldegrave, from the Family Centre, will address a meeting as part of a public discussion on housing at Thistle Hall on April 8.
    Waldegrave will look at the human faces of housing unaffordability while Pringle will suggest ways to build public support for affordable housing policies in New Zealand.
  • Food to the rescue 27/03/2013 10:06:00 a.m.
    Food rescue organisation, Kaibosh, has been named supreme winner at the TrustPower National Community Awards.
    The Wellington based service group collaborates with food retailers and producers to rescue surplus food that is good enough to eat, but not good enough to sell, preventing it from being discarded into landfills.
    Since its inception in 2008 Kaibosh has rescued over 285,000 meals – that’s 100 tonnes of food redistributed to where it’s needed most.
