Feeling Turquoise

Being my other favourite colour at the moment (i'm a hardcore PINK fan) i couldn't resist searching the net for turquoise interiors. As much as i love the colour i doubt i could live in a house where every room had the same colour theme going through it. Still i'm totally in love with the turquoise head board... i wonder if i can convince hubby for a change... hmmm.

Hooray for Hollywood!

To continue my rant about the Oscars i've come up with my top picks of the night. Was disappointed not to see Anne Hathaway there =( Okies it's safe to assume i'm totally in love with the girl, however there were other young starlets looking fab on the red carpet.

So in no particular order ~

Oh Sandra, don't you just look gorgeous in this Marchesa gown. The pop of colour on the lips were a great touch and you know bout my weakness with eccentric beading! This just works for me =) I'm glad she won!

This dress grew on me the more i looked at it. With so many solid colours at the Oscars it was almost a relief to see someone where a patterned print. Rachel looks so darling in a strapless Elie Saab Spring 2010 gown with a sweetheart neckline. I like that she chose minimum accessories that didn't compete with the dress and makes her look that much more sophisticated!

I haven't seen much of Cameron Diaz lately and seeing her all dolled up for the Oscars was just a reminder of how beautiful she is. Dressed in a Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 gown she completely glowed. I love that she wore her hair down rather than up which soften her look even more.

Maggie is always so cool and not afraid to try something different which is one of the reasons why i just love her. Here she wears Dries van Noten strapless dress and looking stunning if i do say so myself. I couldn't resist using a pic with her gorgeous bro Jake! Argh! i just love him! (sorry baby)

In my opinion Penelope Cruz looked at least 10 years younger on screen last night. There were some mixed reviews online about her dress chose but i simply love it! She looked absolutely breathtaking in this burgundy strapless Donna Karan gown.

Such beautiful women *siiigggghhhhh*

{Update & another Treasury}

Woohoo! Made it into another Treasury by Little Grass =) Love the theme as pink is one of my favourite colours.

Louise from the Country Allure collection

Also I've been super busy preparing for Upmarket, only 3 weeks to go! argh! My studio is filled with all these gorgeous handmade blossoms & blooms for the big day and there's scraps of fabric EVERYWHERE! I wanted to take a photo however i seem to have misplaced my camera battery charger under all this mess. I'll leave you with a preview of a new goodie i will be introducing at Upmarket. Hope you can make it down =)

Oh-so-darling right?

Amore No.16 - Aurelio Costarella

Western Australian based designer Aurelio Costarella is in a word - sensational. With his use of different fabrics to his ever inspiring detailing i simply swoon whenever i see his designs. Being a budding *ahem* designer myself i am motivated by those who have taken the journey before me and have come out on the other end telling tales of hard work, tears and success.

Below are some pics of his 2010 Spring/Summer collection ~


What did i say? - sensational!

Oscars

Like most people i know i watch the Oscars for one thing - FASHION! Sure, sure there's some mild interest on the awards ceremony itself especially when it's the big awards like best movie, actor etc, however i mostly spend my time oogling at the celebrities all dolled up and looking their supposed best. Although i do voice out my opinions about the less than favoured fashion choices of some celebrities to my husband i will not here. There's no point focusing on negativity when i can go on an on about my favourite picks of the night.

With the 2010 Oscars less than 24 hrs away i'm giddy with excitement over what we'll see on the red carpet. Apparently from this morning news we are to expect a lot of vintage glamour/old Hollywood come in which is oh so fabulous!

And with that in mind i thought i go back a year and post my top 3 picks from last years Oscars.

Jennifer Aniston smashed it out of the park with this cream strapless Valentino number. She looked so youthful and in my opinion glowed!

Argh! Natalie Portman why are you soooo stunning? Her beauty is so timeless and i loved this colour on her. She chose to wear a strapless Rodarte dress and although it's not as out there as some others the fact that she can still pull off a rather 'simple' design wows me.

I was mid way in conversation with my hubby when i stopped and gawked at this dress. Anne Hathaway looked simply radiant & i couldn't keep my eyes off her. Dressed in a strapless (was that the stlye that year?) Armani Prive encrusted dress she definitely got my vote for best dressed on the night. I can't wait to see what she wears this year!

Couldn't Resist

too tempting!

I should be working on Upmarket and i know i mentioned finishing off one book before starting on another but when i saw this beauty at BIG W today for only $19.65 i couldn't resist. So after i press publish i'm making myself a nice cup of tea and snuggling on my couch with Elizabeth Gilbert's - Committed *siiiiggggghhhhh*

See you in a few hours =)

For you

It's 2.30am and i should be sleeping but instead i'm writing this post. I figured because i'm awake there must be some people out there who is also fighting insomnia. Since starting Olive Farm i have discovered that creativity mostly hits me at night when the world is quiet, tho i usually play music while i work, and because of that my sleeping habits are weird. I can't remember the last time i slept before 11pm.

So for all those burning the midnight oil i thought this might put a smile on your face.


I mean who doesn't like receiving flowers? even at 2.30am!
