Red Love







I've always wanted to wear matching red coats with my daughter... long before I was even pregnant!
Tick!
Walking the streets of Hawthorn with my girl on a cold Melbourne winter's day.
In love.

Le Faire Affair











It's not easy having unruly curls!
Luckily my Goldilocks has an array of pretty little lovelies to help tame her mane.
Our absolute favourite place for girly hair accessories is undoubtedly Le Faire.  Bows, pearls, diamontes, lace and flowers are among the many gorgeous designs.
I especially love the vintage flare of Le Faire making the pieces chic and timeless.
This is just a snippet of what they offer... The range include accessories, dresses and pettiskirts, shoes and socks, clothing and gifts.

Visit them online or at their brand new gorgeous store:

Ever Eclectic



I like what I like... Even if it doesn't match (technically).
Luckily there is a term for my style... "Eclectic".
Around my house are items and styling deriving from differernt inspirations and looks.
From a regal baroque mirror adjacent to an industrial bookshelf, to miss-match prints in my lounge, rustic woods, a french louis chair, balinese buddas and religious icon plaques.
Somehow they work together in perfect unison making my house, my home (even if others don't agree).
There are so many amazing different trends out there and I absolutely could not pick one.  So below you see a mixture styles fused together under one roof.

Fit for a Princess












You only turn one once!  
December 2012 saw a party fit for my 'royal red Princess of Hearts'!
Family and friends joined us in this most special occasion which had my house transformed into a castle complete with red carpet entrance, royal red draping, gold tassels, red carnations and hearts!
After lunch guests feasted upon royal jelly, macaroons, lollies and many, many cupcakes!  

As you may be getting to know DIY is so much fun for me and I had a royal ball making and decorating almost everything on the sweets buffet, from the royal jelly to the birthday cake!  (Although I can't take credit for the macaroons - I haven't quite mastered them yet!)
I also organised for the kiddies to get involved and had them stick coloured jewels onto their own gold cardboard crowns which saw little princes and princesses dancing around the castle.

Guest were treated to their very own goodie bags which included personalised 'thank you' chocolate bars and personalised 'princess' water bottles made by Memorable Sweets Candy Buffet.  They also made the gorgeous bunting which hung above the buffet and were able to match the graphics to the invitations... I love things to match! 

The Princess wore: Dress by Babycake Vintage and handmade french lace crown custom made by Carnival Designs.
Queen Mummy wore: Zara lace top, Sportsgirl lace skirt, Belle Noel gold and swarovski earrings. Lovisa head piece.

Here's to the first of many birthdays!

P.S. I will never work with red fondant icing again! - What a mess!

Silk Notion









Silk is one of my favourtite fabrics to wear.  
Although it can be expensive to purchase and maintain (i.e. dryclean only), you can be sure it will stay in your wardrobe for years to come.  It is timeless with an understated elegance and makes me feel feminine and sexy.

This stunning dress by Chalice is simply beautiful and one of my favourite silk pieces.  
The soft blush colour means it can be worn day to night whether it's to a garden party, cocktail party or wedding! 
I chose to accessorize with a few luxe jewellery pieces.  
Gold necklace, earrings and bangles by Belle Noel.  Pearl and diamond ring by Bvglari.
Shoes from Zara - a simple point with metal heel detail - love.
