You go girl!

smock it to me

Since the sunny days are approaching and some of us (me) are not quite ready with pasty white wintery-ness, I thought smocks would be the perfect Spring to Summer garment! Covers all in a super flattering way yet short enough to be super super cute! & of course perfect for colder weather, just pop some leggings or skinny jeans on and you're good to go. Bless the dress.
Have popped a couple up in my etsy store, and a new bow necklace.

And a sneek peek of more blue based smocks on the way...

A fabulous label with simple, feminine and super hot clothing! No NZ stockists but a bunch of online stockists can be found via the website.
Back to the sewing machine - I'm working on some new frocks... have been inspired by the tiny moments of sunshine that have been peeping in between the rain and clouds!

I super wish for a nice nice brown shoulder bag/handbag.
I seriously need to invest in one as I must be one of the only girls in the world who doesn't own a wallet or a handbag & I think a nice bag that doesn't feel too "handbag-y" that I can put my silly coin purse, phone, keys (or key at the moment!... that's weird), notepad and stashes of chocolate in will do the trick.
Maybe I will make it a new years resolution!
1. Grow up, get a bag!
2. Get more keys.
I was hunting polyvore for nice bags - good for browsing as well as cute layouts - and found a couple... but then I got sidetracked... hence this...

I want it all!

Dorothy Lee's 2008 holiday collection is amazing, I DO want it all.
& it is nice to see a non-wintery collection for the holiday season so we can covet it all over the world!

Samantha Pleet

It's tricky narrowing down pictures to choose to show-off when you find something flash.
I did my best!

I am not a big fan of the romper - think it has something to do with the name, the fact like it looks like the wearer is receiving a constant wedgie & you have to be stick thin to pull it off, BUT if you're a fan of the romper you're going to love Samantha Pleet, she does a lot of them, does them well and in a bunch of super styles.

But she also does a lot of super nice blouses and dresses... and the best bit, they are day to day wearable fancy!



& a fancy arty movie to show off the lovely fashions. Wowzers.

cute frocks, baking, tights, dance contests and picnics

I got to peek at the latest Russh magazine at Borders today (unfortunately I cannot justify such purchases at the moment so the 2 min looksie will have to do!) & I should always have a little notepad & pencil with me at all times as I found a bunch of stuff I wanted to remember, I forgot most things but I did remember the name of this band- Au Revoir Simone -which is always the way, I remembered the hardest to remember thing.
Anywho, supercuteness all round!
More girl music, (ahh yay!) with cute vids (SUPER cute vids) and cute clothes (esp on the dress front)!
So to everyone that reads Russh I am an old news bringer and they've been around for years, but new and cute to me so yay!



Cute vid... & I've already found songs for singing and dancing, and who doesn't need a stash of those for when the mood strikes!?!
