{Update}

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have fabulous plans on the weekend. Mine will be spent organising and giving my studio a much needed tidy up. Upmarket was 2 weeks ago and i still have things in boxes. Yikes! Speaking of Upmarket (notice the segway?) i forgot to mentioned i met a lovely chick by the name of Nat who is the designer behind Dizzy Wizzy Designs. She creates fabulous invites and stationary and was kind enough to feature me on her website. I love meeting new people at markets, it's the best place to make contacts and miggle with other creative types.


Also I'm hoping to introduce more colours in my collection. Turquoise, purples, yellow and red will slowly be making more and more appearances in Olive Farm, keep a look out =)

All about being nude

Christopher Kane Nude Dress & Jasmine De Milo Dress

Ivy Nude Dress & Lavin Nude Dress

Haute Hippe Sequin Tulle Dress & John Rocha Nude Rose Dress

Nowadays there are a lot of dresses out there that doesn't leave much to the imagination and i believe you can look classy without having to bear all. Flirty and fun, the nude dress is such a great dress to own and matched with some killer heals you're ready to hit the town =) I also adore how many variations there are out there and how versatile the colour is. You can wear it to a wedding, high tea with the girls, clubbing to the wee hours or on a romantic date with your man. What ever the occassion i admit i do go gaga over skin tone fabrics hehe

M&M Wedding

Yesterday Hubby & i attended the very special wedding of our dearest friends Ming & Michelle whom we lovingly refer to as 'the M&M's'. I've known the couple since high school and have a really close friendship with the groom (he was the MC at our wedding). The whole day was filled with love and the laughter of friendship. There's nothing more magical then witnessing the union of two great people. Such a wonderful day =)

Amore No.18 - Lou and Lee

One of the great things about being a designer is knowing that given enough time i pretty much can create my own hair accessories and rarely need to shop for any, unless it's absolutely gobsmacking fantastic that i simply can't resist! Lou and Lee is such a brand.

Their oh-so-darling baby headbands are too cute for words and i know if i ever have a daughter or a little niece i will be buying up a storm of these gorgeous designs. Have you ever seen anything so lovely? I also recommend you jump on their blog, it's a great read with a lot of wonderful stories of her lil mister =)

Pinch and Spoon

I'm such a fan of textiles, well obviously since i use it in my designs, however i believe my pieces are still considered conventional by public standards and i find that i'm eager to break free from the mold of what is considered as 'accessories'.

Labels such as 'PINCH AND SPOON' is an example of taking something pure and natural and turning it into modern wearable art pieces. There's an almost holistic approach to the designs which i just love and with creations like these how could you not? Another tick for WA designers =)
