A Happy Holiday - overall

I'm really enjoying summer; hot weather, holidays, beach and 

beautiful summer outfits. I got this DKNY fabric in Fabric 

shop on Brunswick st very very very cheap. I promised to my self

that don't buy a cheap fabric but I couldn't resist to buy this

one. Because I was thinking to make my first overall for this summer

and this fabric was perfect for the experiment. My husband called

 it circus clown costume, actually I liked that name and enjoy wearing it.

The Bridal Dress - Valentino

 Galaxy Print Dress

This astro Galaxy silk fabric was captured my eye 

immediately at Tessuti. So I couldn't resist and bought

a metre. When I come home my daughter liked it a lot and 

a few days later went to Tessuti to buy more of this,

 it was sold out. I knew, everyone see this can't resist it. 

I made a pattern raglan sleeve with pleated shoulder for 

something different. Also I used a plain grey silk fabric 

for sleeves. 

Printed Pants

You know the printed pants is latest trend now on the street.

I was looking for structured print pants fabric since then 

and I found it of course in Tessuti. It is double woven

cotton, I think the price was reasonable but don't remember

exactly how much. Anyway for me a metre fabric is plenty

enough for the pants. I used same old my favorite McCall 

pattern M6403. I experimented this geometric pattern 

mix with floral top. Everybody liked this combination

except my husband. I think I need update 

my husbands fashion sense!!!!!

Ruddy Pink and Apricot Grey

Recently, I bought this Stuart Weitzman shoes from Amazon

 and when I saw the online the colour was more vivid, brighter 

but when I've got the shoe the colour wasn't I expected one. 

That is bad side of the online shopping. Anyway, the shape 

and comfiness is great and the hill so sexy. Then I  decided to 

keep it and make an outfit for this shoes. For top fabric is philosophy 

jersey from Tessuti,the skirt is silk linen fabric from Rathdown and 

the jacket woven fabric from Mad Fabric. I love the jacket colour 

at once I saw it and it was $5 a metre, can you believe it!!!

Tessuti Award - 2012

This morning I found out that I'm the winner of Tessuti Award.

I still can't believe I'm the winner (pinching myself if it's true) 

yet I'm so happy. Thanks to everybody who were supporting and 

encouraging me through this amazing, joyful journey. 

Weekend Inspiration

I went to NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) last weekend.

 I had been NGV many times before but I didn't know there is Asian 

collection area. I really enjoyed to see this Japanese collections

 and I think they are the sublime craftsmanship. If you haven't

 been there I strongly recommend to see it. I'm sure you will 

enjoy it too.
