Inside Simply You’s Colour My Life event in Wellington
At the devilishly well decorated Hippopotamus Restaurant and Bar at the QT Museum Wellington hotel, Simply You hosted a luxurious long-lunch for readers to learn about the latest interiors, design, beauty and fashion, complete with a fashion show.
With three delicious courses finishing in a high-tea selection, with champagne and wine to match, it was a celebration of all things fabulous.
Thanks to our sponsors Resene, Carpet Court, BoConcept, Joico, Caci, World Organics and Loobie’s Story.
