We're gooo-ing to the cha-pel and we're, gonna get ma-a-a-rried

Finally...after 18 months of sketching, designing, shopping, pinning, sewing (un-stitiching) an fitting, the day finally came!!! Mr and Mrs Wandsvik are now married and i must say, bride of the year did look stunning indeed!! So, for all of you who have patiently waited to see even a little hint of white silk - here's the dress i've so secretly been working on. A beautiful vintage style three layer silk dress with a long train, fitted one-shoulder top with silk chiffon wrap-over waist piece...and a gorgeous butterfly sleeve. It's a dream!! Also adding the maid of honor dresses i made in a greyish green chiffon.

Nip, Tuck...Violetta..

Picked up a half finished project earlier today, nearly done now but needs a few finishing touches here and there and then we're... This dress is a complete mix of old patterns, new patterns, trial and error-patterns and a lot of elastics and last but not least, patience! The lilac silk is the fabric i dyed a few months back which i thought would look cute with a white pencil skirt. I could picture this dress on no problem but i did struggled to think of shoes to wear with it so i decided black killer heels would do it and that's how the black straps were born :-) I will upload a few pics later (a few pounds later...)wearing it ;)

Macrame Bracelet...im in L.O.V.E

Another inspiring DIY post by HonestlyWTF - I can't get enough of this site - I could spend hrs and hrs DYI'ing their stuff :) These will look so pretty on tanned summer arms :) For Instructions, CLICK HERE!!

here are my first two attempts - I haven't bought any materials so just used what i had in my little box. I used a charm from an old necklace and embroidery thread (not ideal, chinese knotting cord is better) which makes it a bit looser but works for now. Now that i remember how to do it, i will 'invest' in some better materials. I made the coral macrame bracelet with silver charm and the glass bead 'friendship' bracelet...

SAGE love....

Here's the latest addition..It took me a while to make something from the sage silk i dyed i few months ago but hopefully worth the wait. This design keeps coming up in my portfolio but i just love it. It's so easy to wear, summer as winter and for sure from day to evening.

I can make this to order but please keep in mind that color and patterns may not be identical as it is all hand dyed but i will do my best to make it as similar as possible.:)

Price on order : £135

If you do one thing this week...

Make sure it is a trip to Bristol M Shed to see the 'An eye for fashion' exhibition
(or at least look it up online if you're not local, worth having a peek)

'An Eye For Fashion' is an exhibition of Norman Parkinson Photographs and
British Designers 1954-1964

A stunning exhibition of vintage fashion photography by Norman Parkinson, one of Britian's most significant portrait and fashion photographers of the 20th century. The portfolio represents the British fashion designers who laid the foundations for today's fashion industry.
