Monocle Magazine
Monocle Magazine hosted a party yesterday at Oyster Inn on Waiheke Island.
Tyler Brule is well connected and obviously used all his charm to convince the weather gods to put on a picture perfect summers day.
With more of a focus in the magazine of late on all things Antipodean it's great to feel like we are part of such a very cool global community.
It always amuses me that some of us need International validation to truly love what's on our doorstep.
The event was a low key afternoon, the mix of people made the event for me.
Not your usual dial a crowd, no social page hacks or photographers.
Obviously Monocle Magazine value their subscriber base ( clients ) in high regard.
Trust Tyler to get it right.
