Max Loves... Zooey Deschanel
Posted 13 February 2012
With the launch of New Girl on C4, our new obsession with HelloGiggles.com and her quirky snaps on Instagram, this week we’re loving everything Zooey Deschanel. Deschanel is an American actress, musician and singer-songwriter. She’s acted in films such as Almost Famous, Elf and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but is now starring in New Girl a show about an offbeat young woman who moves into an apartment loft with three single men. We love her eccentric style, various talents (she plays the piano, banjo and ukulele!) and the fact that she is never afraid of looking like a geek on screen. We also love her vast input online - including the amazing site HelloGiggles.com which she cofounded with producer Sophia Rossi and internet sensation Molly McAleer. In their words it’s “…the ultimate entertainment destination for smart, independent and creative females...” and we’re addicted to the ever changing content, stunning images and interesting articles. Check it out and make sure you follow zooeydeschanel on Instragram too!

Max Loves... Collective Dairy
Posted 7 February 2012
At Max we simply can’t get enough of Collective Dairy Yoghurt and when we saw they had released a limited edition Summer Coconut Yoghurt we quickly started hunting it down. The Collective describe their yoghurt as “Creamy, thick, not too sweet, not too tart, in fact the only problem with our yoghurt is you won't be able to stop eating it” and they are right! Whenever there’s a tub in the Max fridge it is always clearly labelled to stop the sneaky office food fairies taking a spoonful or two. The coconut version tastes like summer in a tub and with the weather lately it’s exactly what we’ve needed to banish the rainy day blues!

Max Loves... Waiheke Island
Posted 31 January 2012
This Summer has seen the opportunity to spend a bit of time over on Waiheke Island, just 40 minutes by ferry from Auckland City, you really do feel like you are escaping the hustle and bustle and relaxing in a beachside town, just like one that you can find anywhere on the Coromandel. There are a number of picturesque beaches to choose from and although you might end up fighting for a space to lie your towel, it really is well worth it. And let's not forget about the vineyards, a weekend spent on the island will not allow you enough time to scratch the surface but you will be able get a taste that will surely have you coming back for more.
Max Loves... The Pretty Baker
Posted 24 January 2012
We have been ogling this New Zealand online store for a while, if you are a fan of baking and all things cute this is the shop for you! It features a gorgeous range of cupcake cases, coloured sprinkles, cake toppers and more. The site has a pretty, vintage feel and will have you rushing to the pantry to think up your next baking masterpiece. Our favourite item would have to be the Heart Paper Straws and with Valentine’s Day coming up we think this would be the perfect little touch to any romantic picnic or dinner.

Max Loves... The Golden Globes
Posted 17 January 2012
Awards’ Season has begun, and aside from Ricky Gervais’ witty remarks about Hollywood’s rich and famous, our favourite part has to be the frocks! As we watched the stars of Tinsletown arrive on the red carpet at The Golden Globes yesterday we couldn’t help but feel a little underwhelmed with the caliber of dresses showing up, but as the event progressed we were pleasantly surprised as some of our favourite leading ladies stood out in stunning dresses and in the end we weren't disappointed, our four favourites are above, but you can check out the rest – www.people.com.

Max Loves... A New Year
Posted 20 December 2011
A fresh start, a chance to make a new set of resolutions, to forgive or to forget, a new year gives each of us the opportunity to start over again if we wish, or carry on as we began the year before.
The 31st of December gives us the chance to celebrate in style, to farewell the year that was and to toast the year that will be. Here at the Max office we are merrily winding down and loving the anticipation of what next year will have in store for us all. Bring on 2012!
