WIWT: Brocade & The Library Bar

About two weekends ago, Chris and I attended the very first night of "Respect Yourself" at the Library Bar in the viaduct. The djs played mostly 60s soul and rock. I was in heaven.

I wore my gold brocade jacket. I love brocade almost as much as I love houndstooth.

We only talked amongst ourselves. I guess there is "no talking in the library."
We looked at an 1970s edition picture book of Auckland. Auckland was spectacular looking back in the 70s.

A jazz band played in the other room.

This is my new favourite place!

PS. Two days after wearing this coat, I saw a girl walking down the street wearing the same exact one! So funny since I live about 6,000 miles away from home.

  1. What an awesome idea for a bar! Booze and books go together quite well, I think. Well, drinking (a little) and reading. I can't believe you saw someone else wearing the same coat! It's so beautiful and looks vintage...F21 can be so darn good at that.

  7. @Hayley That'd be awesome! I just had a look at their website, and it's also open on week nights from 3PM until late. Thursdays thru Saturdays would be great! I think Friday or Saturday evenings earlier around 7 to 8PM would be a less busy time, so we can enjoy the books!
