Gosh, how I love the new year. It is the time of year when it’s ok not to be “winning” and instead to reflect on your achievements and set goals for the future. Time for fresh ideas and modern materials. New trends, symbols, patterns and crazes, but more importantly time for a new start, or just a new perspective. That’s one of the things I love the most about fashion. Each season brings different ideas, designs and aspirations. A new way of looking at the world. Here are all the new trends I’m looking most forward to this spring: Vintage… Read More

This is also a pretty quick tutorial so as long as you’ve got all the materials to hand you should be able to whip this… Read More
DIY // Feather Back Necklace
So after making this backless top I was thinking, what a fantastic opportunity to get some back jewellery on the go. I’ve been wanting to make something to embellish an open back top for some time, and now I have the perfect excuse. After rummaging through my supplies I found a few bits and pieces and put them together, just in time for NYE! (p.s. I accidentally left the clasp of the materials picture. Make sure you read the ‘You’ll need” section for the full list) You’ll need: A feather (or two) Crimpable chain (fine metal chain) Jump rings Box… Read More
DIY // Spaghetti Strap Backless Top
I hope you have all had a fantastic Christmas and have enjoyed spending time with the people you love.

How to // Make the Monkey Fist Knot
One of my favourite posts this last month has been learning how to make a Monkey Fist knot.

DIY Salt Dough Baubles
My Christmas decorating is an ongoing process. It’s so much fun to sit down in the evening, heat up a mug of gluewine, treat myself to a couple of (dozen) mince pies (hello gym) and make some decorations. It’s also a great excuse to experiment with some new techniques. So what if it goes wrong. Christmas ornaments are meant to look a bit rough around the edges right? A tree with lights and shiny stuff on? Hardly the epitome of taste… and it shouldn’t be! It’s about having fun together, so grab someone, anyone, and try out these Salt Dough… Read More
