About Us

Hi! I’m Alannah! The founder/owner of Whistling Dixie Boutique NZ.

Ever since I was little, I have loved clothes and shopping (my mum would vouch for that!) and on my travels for work and leisure, I love checking out wee boutiques. I also LOVE helping people and making them feel great in what they're wearing.

I have been online since 1st December 2021, but I now have a small store at the back of the beautiful Farmhouse Design and Decor, and Station Coffee - with entrance from the back courtyard. I still work fulltime in my employed role, and I manage the Methven Div 1 men's rugby team, so life is a little crazy! But I open the store doors as much as I can - usually weekends (Mainly Sundays in autumn/winter), and the odd weeknight. Best option is to check my Facebook and Instagram pages for my hours for the week.

Why the name? Well I love the name Dixie, and 'Whistling Dixie' is an American saying for, what we would say in NZ, ‘Ohhh you’re dreaming!’ This idea started off as that, but I’ve been determined to make it a reality! 

So you know who’s behind the brand, this is me in the pic (on the left) with my gorgeous sister-in-law Ainsley.

Enjoy your shopping! 🌼
