With Christmas fast approaching, well that's what nearly every shop I walk into is telling me.🎅 The feel of summer in the air (finally!) it's got me thinking about what I want to read over the summer months. 🌞

Here's what I'm thinking:

*Homecoming - Kate Morton
Adelaide Hills 1959 as man makes a terrible discover! 😮
*Exiles - Jane Harper
Aaron Falks is back. Festival, baby alone in pram and a missing mother. 😥
*The Paper Palace - Miranda Cowley Heller
A story that unfolds over 24 hours & across 50 years... 🕰️
*The Dictionary of lost words - Pip Williams
The story of words lost through time and generations 📚
*The Bombay Prince - Sujata Massey
Perveen Mistry returns to solve a shocking murder on the streets of 1920s Bombay.. 😳

Have you got your holiday reading sorted yet? We'd love to know.. 😊 And as always happy reading everyone.. 💕

We’re only a few days out from this years Preloved Fashion Show High Tea 🙌

Always a favourite event but a lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes 😮‍💨 and without our sponsors and event partners it would never happen.

So today we’d like to give a big shout out and thank you to all of them! 🙏

Firstly to our co-host sponsor this year Coversure and our guest speaker Elle Wuthrich - Financial Adviser This is the first time we’ve had a main sponsor and we can’t thank you enough for your support of us & this event.

Thank you to our event partners Dress for Success Auckland & Aleph Beauty, we love working with you every year and creating this fabulous event.

We love to make our guests feel special so pulling together a Goodie Bag every year can be a bit stressful! Especially in these economic times but we have managed to get some fabulous samples, mini, mags and vouchers together for our guests. 🛍

And lastly a thank you to Tuesday Label as we’ve rustled up a last minute special item for the fashion show. Tuesday Label are kindly donating one of their dresses from their new collection. Sarah will be wearing this dress in the fashion show and then it will be gifted to Dress For Success to sell 👗

Thank you everyone! And we can’t wait for Sunday 🥂

10/10/2023

Introducing this weeks Woman Behind the Biz Kirstie O’Sullivan of The Voice Practice ❤️ Not only a biz owner, voice coach, actress & a really lovely person…but also our MC for this Sunday’s Preloved Fashion Show High Tea 🙌

👉 Give us a quick ‘Elevator Pitch’ about your business:

I’m passionate about helping professional women speak with confidence, clarity and courage under pressure.

Speaking and presenting are incredibly powerful ways to propel your career and grow your business. If these opportunities are being derailed by nerves, anxiety about speaking or imposter syndrome (think mind going blank, shaky voice or ‘foot in mouth disease’!) this can really rock our confidence and our ability to make an impact.

At The Voice Practice we’ve developed the Connect 5 Framework, a simple (and dare we say fun) pathway to reliably take you from ‘chaos’ to ‘confidence’ in those high pressure moments. We know you’ve got what it takes to be heard J

🥂 Drink of choice?
Cuppa tea all the way. English Breakfast with a dash of milk please!

📚 Book, TV or Podcast?
Book(s)! I’ve just finished Pet by Catherine Chidgey & Grand: Becoming My Mother’s Daughter by Noelle McCarthy – highly recommend both of these gems.

🕺 What song gets you on the dancefloor?
Do You Realise? by The Flaming Lips never fails

💖 What’s your fav thing to do with your girlfriends?
A hearty walk’n’talk combo

👖 What’s your go to outfit?
Maxi pleated skirt, trainers and crisp white tee. Dress up with a blazer or down with a DJ.

🌟 Top business tip?
B-R-E-A-T-H-E. A voice coach’s top tip for speaking, business and life!

Vine Street - Dominic Nolan

This book was recommended to me in Bath ...They asked me what some of my favourite genres were so here is my list of some of them that I rattled off: 🤔

\Historical Fiction

\Crime books - Dectective books

\Cold cases

\Dual timelines

This book has them all! Its follows the story of Leon Geats and Mark Cassar two detectives working in Soho, London during the 1930s, the story spans decades through the 2nd world war, the rejuvanation of the 50s and 60s, as the detectives try to find a killer. It has an a great twist and descritptions that make you feel that you are actually there and can feel and hear everything that is going on around you. here is one of my favourite descriptions it takes place in a seedy bar in Soho.🥃🍸

‘A hundred dancers became one undulating wave, Cassar and his two friends lindy-hopping as a trio among them and of them, like a chain snapping this way and that, all high knees and bent elbows. They swept round the floor shifting shape and style in desychronised harmony’….💃🕺

This book had a slow start but did it make up for that as I got further into the story. I’m still thinking about it now and there is no real book review that would give it justice. 📝

Five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Happy reading everyone.

The faces behind Soul Sisters are popping up to say hi! 👩👩🏼 We don’t often put ourselves on here…a little camera shy. You’re more likely to see us in the occasional Story on a night out, after a cocktail,when we decide it’s a great idea to take a 📸!

But we know it's nice to see who is behind the biz, helps you build a connection with that business.

So since it’s been a while here’s a few random things about us! Some longtime followers may already know some of these.

*We are Aunty & Niece but more like sisters & besties as there is only 3.5 years between us 💕

*We are kids of the 80s, we were all about - Duran Duran, 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, The Lost Boys, Annie, Karate Shoes, MTV, Johnny Depp & bubble gum jeans 👖

*Sarah used to work at the Fire Department 🚒 yes ladies we got to go to a Firemen's Calendar launch party 👨‍🚒🔥

*Lou has Bungy jumped & paraponted in Queenstown 😱 never need to again!!

*Whenever we hear Hotel California we can't help but sing the guitar part 🎸...but to be fair doesn't everyone do that!

*Sarah recently had eye surgery so after 20 years of wearing glasses she no longer needs them! 👀

*Lou is a mum to two, a 17yr old son & 13yr old daughter

*Between us we have 16 tattoo’s, 3 of them matching

*Sarah can tap dance and was also a bit of a ballerina in her youth 🩰

*Lou is a country music fan 🤠

*This year we spent 6 1/2 weeks travelling around the UK together, with a short stint in Belgium. 🌍 Yes we were still talking to each other by the end!😂

*Instead of heading to the Brussels airport on the last day of our trip we accidentally got on the train going to Luxemborg…yes we were headed in the wrong direction to another country! Thank heavens for the angel of a lady that helped us 😇

*We have seen Robbie Williams 3 times in concert, most recently he was the closing night headliner at the Isle of Wight Festival we went to in England.

*We're Outlander fans. Yip we’d stay in the 18th century with no sanitation for Jamie too 😍 While in Scotland we visited Culloden & one of the castles that were used in the show.

*We are often mistaken for being younger than we are 😉 We’ve got some good DNA in our family

Bookshops, bookshops, bookshops everywhere!!! 📚

For all bookworms there is nothing like wondering the shelves of a bookshop. 📖

While overseas we visited plenty of amazing bookstores in every city, town and village we were in. ❤️

Swipe through our little montage of book and bookshop memories. 😊

1. Gorgeous hardbacks of classic novels.
2. Old telephone boxes (came across lots of these on our travels) full of used books. The idea is to leave one you've read and take another!
3. Special addition of Pa Salt in hardcover with star constellation on the paper edging - gorgeous . 🌟
4. A post it wall of book recommendations. 📄
5. Delightful Mr Bs Emporium worth a visit if you are ever in Bath.
6. Cute little gutter bookshop in the village of Dalkey, Ireland.

If you have a photo of your favourite bookshop or book from your travels, please share..

As always happy reading everyone. 💞

Hello remember us we’re back! 🙋‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ Not only from our UK trip but also back on social media.

It's taken a while to settle back into normal life in NZ…which the shocking weather did not help!

We tried to share photos while away 🙄 Did a great job sharing Ireland but it was tricky with no data, dodgy internet connections and living in the moment, so we gave up after that and just enjoyed our time.

Yes it was A-MAZE-ING. Life changing, eye opening, jaw dropping amazing! Highly recommend a trip to the UK & Namur (Belgium) 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇧🇪 ❤️

Before we move on with life and get back to events...our Preloved Fashion Show High Tea is launching soon! 😉🙌 ...Here’s a couple of highlights from the trip! 📸

18/08/2023

Event is launching next week! 🥂🙌

Are you signed up to our Newsletter for Early Bird access??

16/08/2023

Yes we're back and it's nearly that time of year! Anyone know what event is about to be launched? 😉 Save the date - Sunday 15th October

13/05/2023

As we look forward to the history & architecture of the UK it got us thinking about where is the history our own city.🤔

Sarah said there's a saying in Auckland when you're in Queen Street - 'look up'....that's when you see the most beautiful buildings tucked in amongst the new ⛪

So we spent Easter Saturday exploring Auckland city on foot. 👟👟 (yes we’re a little delayed in getting this post up!)

Have you played tourist in your own city?

‌
We finally head away for our UK trip this weekend 🙌🛫 we hope to share some pics with you along the way....and if not we'll see you when we return 😉
Lou & Sarah 💕

05/04/2023

Where have you been all my life….preloved fashion 😉 (FB won't play the song 🙄 so sing Rhianna to yourself!)

A multitude of looks and styles were showcased at last years Preloved Fashion Show High Tea 👗👖

We had the models choose their outfits for the show categories so they could put their own spin on the preloved items available from Dress for Success Auckland

Proving you don’t always need to shop new, there are so many choices out there for shopping preloved! 🛍

Are you a preloved virgin or master? 🤔

Our book reviews are back 🙌 📚

‌The Room Upstairs - Kate Murray Browne

A couple buy a house they can't really afford as a doer upper. They get in a lodger to help with the bills. But there is something strange about this house. There's a room upstairs that has writing on the wallpaper and as things move on the house starts to affect everyone in the house! 🏡

What’s going on? Well read it and find out. 📖
This book has a weird tension which you feel its like an electrity .
I couldn't put it down. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Happy reading everyone... 📚

Hello remember us! 👋
No we didn’t fall off the end of the earth, life just got busy & as we juggled multiple balls we decided before we drop them all we’ll put one down for a while…and that ball was Soul Sisters.

Of course we never completely disappeared, we popped on here occasionally in our Stories..usually to share a cocktail we were enjoying 🍸😉

So what have we been up to since we were last here…

First off things got super busy with our other ‘jobs’, unfortunately Soul Sisters doesn’t pay the bills yet so we pull double duty. Sarah was busy interviewing for a job, which she got, and end of year events/weddings took off so Louise was busy decorating those with her other biz A Touch of Class Weddings and Events

We both succumbed to Covid 🤒 It’s still out there popping up when you least expect it!

Of course there was Xmas & New Year to celebrate. We both managed a mini break - Sarah popped off to the Hawkes Bay (heartbreaking to now see this area dealing with so much destruction), while Lou & family enjoyed time at Mt Maunganui.

While we had high hopes for summer it didn’t quite happen like that & we wondered if we’d ever get a tan as weeks of rain kept falling. Sarah had the added stress of dealing with her flat getting damaged during the Auckland floods 😭

Honestly I think we’ve really p*ssed off Mother Nature as she’s been handing out the bangers this year!🌀

It’s not all doom and gloom though, on a high note in 2 months we are FINALLY heading off on our UK trip! 🛫 We’ll have 6 weeks of exploring. You’ll be bored of our pics by the end of it 📸

We once again got tickets to the Isle of Wight Festival music festival while there…we may have missed seeing our childhood fav of Duran Duran but a 90s fav Robbie Williams will be there and many more acts we can’t wait to see 🎤

Since we’re heading off on this big trip we made the decision not to hold any events before we leave…again it’s about balancing stress levels & events take a lot to organise! We hope to hold a couple in the 2nd half of the year though🤞

We have made the decision to get back on socials & are excited to reconnect with you all ❤️

How have you all been? Let us know how 2023 started for you?

27/10/2022

21/10/2022

Happy long weekend! 🥂🍾

19/10/2022

With champagne on our minds this week we're having a bit of fun and pairing up books and wine 🥴📚🍷

The light hearted & fun Mrs Harris Goes to Paris would pair perfectly with a glass of bubbles....preferably French of course! 🇫🇷 🍾

Position yourself in a sun dabbled courtyard, or lemon grove, with any book by and a glass of crisp Rose` 💖🌹

A steamy is best enjoyed with a nice cold Pinot Gris....if you've ever read one you'll know this is needed to help cool you down 🔥😅

And lastly we're thinking The Silent Companions paired with a lovely gothic dark Red, preferably enjoyed on a dark stormy night 🍷🌩️

What do you think of our choices? How would you pair your current read? 🤔🥂

18/10/2022

Ladies and gentlemen come along and celebrate Champagne Day with us! 🍾🥂

This isn't any run of the mill wine tasting, this is a sparkles appreciation evening! ✨ Everyone's favourite celebration drink comes in a variety of forms not just traditional Champagne so we've decided to embrace them all 😍

$129 per person (+BF)

Your ticket includes:
*Five 'sparkle' wine tastings and tapas paired by La Fuente Wine & Mezcal

This is a boutique event so tickets are limited. Get in quick!🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃

It took us a while to decide whether we should hold this event. 🤔
We know things are getting more expensive these days and everyone's cautious with where they spend their hard earned 💰 there's just something so good for the soul when you're out enjoying yourself, the fun, the laughter, the living in the moment 🎉🤗

So we thought it was worth putting out there!

So who is a ‘Soul Sister’?

They are all the fabulous women out there wanting to get the most out of life. Age is no barrier. It could be your sister, grandmother, daughter, your bestie or those friends you hardly see but when you do the time is filled with fun and laughter. A group of wonderful women all hanging out together, being inspired, being informed and basically just having a fab time .

Soul Sister Events was inspired by creating fun and memorable events that we would like to attend with our girl-friends and soul sisters.

We’re an Aunty and Niece combo who have been cruising together since trikes were still cool.

Sarah has been organising events as part of her administration role and is excited to be bringing Soul Sister Events to all! She’s a lover of ginger cats, a good book, strong coffee, perfecting the art of a good bed-head curl while enjoying a nice drop of Rose’.
