My Muse

Hi everyone, Olivia here to introduce this week’s My MUSE: the endlessly engaging, whip-smart, and wonderfully warm Nicolet Spice.

Nicolet’s journey to Arrowtown is anything but ordinary, arriving in her 30s knowing just a handful of people, she’s since built a life that’s full, vibrant, and deeply connected to her community. From launching a tequila brand and farming salmon for the global market, to leading local initiatives and officiating weddings through her celebrant business, Nicolet brings colour and character to everything she touches.

These days, she divides her time between helping customers find their next obsession at MUSE Arrowtown, and helping couples say “I do”, always with warmth, humour, and her signature sense of style. Whether she’s dressing for a mountain-top elopement or stepping onto the shop floor, Nicolet has a knack for pairing practicality with polish.

Her style is thoughtful and expressive, rooted in quality, elevated by detail, and never too serious (except maybe when protecting her beloved shearling coat from her equally beloved pup).

I caught up with Nicolet to talk fashion, community, and the beauty of building a life and wardrobe in one of New Zealand’s most charming small towns.
