home made skirts

top - supre, belt - sportsgirl, shoes - sportsgirl, skirt - made by my sister

So my baby sister (she is 20 but still a baby to me) has started to design and make her own skirts, dresses and make-up bags....

This skirt is actually a dress with shirring on the top but I have folded it under to make it a skirt for work for casual Friday.

We are hoping she gets a stall at The Village Markets in the new year until then she will continue to sew and be creative.

Let me know what you think any feedback is good feedback.

Spring/Summer 2010-11

Even though it has been raining, gloomy and so unlike summer here in Brisbane of late, I thought I would share a little snippet of my inspiration for the coming (hopefully *fingers crossed*) spring/summer.

Bronzed skin

Wavy beach/mermaid hair

Long summer days spent basking in the amazing sunshine

Strawberry slush puppies

Braids

Lemon lime & bitters

Mangos

Fish & chips

Coral lip colours

Floral sun dresses

Tan sandals

Pastel nail polish, tiffany & co blue, lilac & pink

The new burlesque OPI collection – I am loving all of the new shades

Hair accessories & head scarfs

Peach blush with golden flecks

Khaki, white and gold combos

Stacked bangles

Maxi dresses & skirts

Man style watch

Long layered necklaces

Beautiful fresh peonies

What do you have in mind for your Spring/Summer???

eight years and counting...

Paul and I have been together 8 years as of yesterday! I can't believe I am only 23 and already married to the my high school sweet heart!

This photo was on one of out 'date nights' where Paul took me to see the sunset at Mt Coot tha, we had a yummy dinner and some bubbly.

On another note life has been full speed for me over the last couple of months with work and settling into our new home. I hope to post more often from now on...
