Excited about... Releasing our new album on the 30th of March



Andrew and Victoria Knopp are the duo that make up indie-pop act, 'The Response'. Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, they write and record all their material independently, drawing on influences from many sources. Determined to faithfully translate their expansive albums from tape to stage, yet remain a duo, The Response have crafted a live show that utilizes every one of their limbs and will leave you wondering how two people can make so much noise. 

The Response are a band to keep both of your eyes on.

{Kiwi Touch...} Hazel Loves Design

My younger sister brought it to my attention that I haven't been showing enough of 'Me' on the blog recently, and... she's right!! Today I thought I would share my own personal 'Kiwi Touch' interview and enlighten you about the voyage that my mind has been making recently...

Right now I am... 

Clicking on... PINTEREST! Ever since getting an iPhone it has become my go-to App! I can't get enough, and those who follow have probably noticed increased activity in your newsfeeds! 


Following... There are so many small up and coming sites that I love following, Rock 'n' Rosie is a newbie on Facebook and a great example of the type of sites I love watching evolve.

Thinking about... There are too many exciting things coming up that I can't stop thinking about! Jellybean's second birthday party, camping trips away, including a trip to a music festival in the Wairarapa, the bloggers summit in Christchurch, the indie design market I'm helping to organise, the bricks and mortar store we are hoping to have opened soon, the online store I should've launched by now... The list is endless, have way too many thoughts on my mind!


Listening to... Of Monsters and Men, a fabulous indie folk band I originally became aware of them through a television advertisement, of all places! But absolutely loving them!

Saving for... A house! We have had a bit of a splurge lately and don't really want for anything much else! Time to buckle down and get saving for that house. 

Obsessed with... Camping! When we lived in Australia hubby was always on my case to buy a tent and go camping, but I just wasn't keen! No way I was going camping near snakes and spiders! Yuck! But this summer we invested in a nice Kathmandu tent and a Coleman Road Tripper BBQ, so summers ahead can be filled with camping fun! We've just come home from a trip to Lake Tekapo and have a trip to a music festival planned for March. Just trying to find the time to fit another trip away inbetween! 


Reading... I've actually only just finished reading 'Coco and Igor' a story about the love affair between Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky! I love Chanel's legacy so much and it was wonderful to be able to dip my thoughts into her world.

Doing... finalising the last couple of assignments for my Diploma of Interior Design, preparing the Autumn edition of Hazed and thinking about all the things I should be doing to prepare for the multitude of projects I am embarking on this year!

Excited about... 2013! Seriously! I said to my husband earlier today 'Great things are going to happen this year' and I honestly believe that to be the truth!

{KIWI TOUCH...} Mint Gypsy Vintage

Today we have the gorgeous Sarah from 'Mint Gypsy Vintage'





Right now I am...

Clicking on... Spotify!

Following... My children through the craft drawers. We strongly encourage the arts in our house! Music for my son and drawing for my daughter.

Thinking about... my to do list today, which is starting to get a bit too long! :)

Listening to... Lana Del Ray, I love her.

Saving for... Our house! We are in the middle of building our first house and my design sense is a bit more expensive than my husband would prefer! Good taste I tell him, good taste.

Obsessed with... Spotify and Pintrest. Listening to my favorite tunes while getting design 
inspiration is the best. :)


Reading... Into These Hands: Wisdom from Midwives by Geradine Simkins. On top of my designing and being a mum and wife, I'm studying to be a Midwife and Childbirth Educator.

Doing... Nothing but enjoying a cup of tea and planning my day.

Excited about... Being accepted into Mount Maunganui's Little Big Markets this summer!



Love Sarah x

{KIWI TOUCH...} Plum Jam



My name is Georgia Barber, head plum at Plum Jam.

I design repeat lino cuts which get transferred magically onto screens from which my partner James & I spend all day, head to toe in ink screen printing. We also print super cool iconic designs for a laugh. We make colourful tea towels, cushions and aprons then trundle them off to local markets and also sell them in our gallery called 'Post Impressions" in Brightwater..an old post office & our home/studio/place of love....


I am also about to embark on a range of duvet covers in the next couple of months...very exciting, a little bit of wee falls out just thinking about it.

Right now I am...

Clicking on... Deezer & Soundcloud, you can never have too much music, also Felt. A fantastic way to shop kiwi.

Following....my heart, the sun, my bank account, my nose for the next inspiring person or thingy!

Thinking About... Pie mostly, but also the next lino cut designs & the next set of products to apply them too.


Listening to... Betty Davis, Rodreguez & Laura Marling mostly this week.

Saving for... New screens for printing, the next amazing holiday, garden landscaping.

Obsessed with... Repeat designs ,ornnament & the new Linda McCartney vegetarian products, those burgers are mental!


Reading.... In The City by Paul Du Noyer, a wonderful journey of the music of London.

Doing.... More tramping, designing, arranging our next shipment of fossils, crystals and moroccan homewares.

Excited about...My new designs, The new range of Plum Jam duvet covers & cushions, Seeing Billy Bragg this 
month in Funedin, life in general & summer!
