MAIYA SS12

I did some modelling for MAIYA, a new fashion label by Designer Helen Stew a couple of weeks ago. I've never ever done modelling before, and look like I need a tan but the clothes I wore were beautiful!

Ethical fashion designer Helen has applied to show her collection during London Fashion Week this September for Esthetica, Spring/Summer 2012. She works with organic, fair trade and recycled materials but ethical fashion needn't be dowdy... MAIYA's gorgeous collection is really elegant with an edge!

Here are some photos of the collection taken by emerging photographer Eva Bartussek..

Rule Britannia...I love this patriotic colour scheme of reds, blues and whites. I've seen products everywhere celebrating the marriage of Kate and Wills. Only a few days to go until the big day! So I thought I'd post a collage of my favourite Royal wedding memorabilia...

Clockwise:
1. Royal wedding cupcakes Style & Grace
2,3,4 Royal wedding partyware notonthehighst.com
5. Keep calm and marry on free print from tom kat studio
6. Wallpaper Crowns and Coronets -Graham and Brown 
7. Royal wedding partyware notontthehighst 

and some more below...

Hot Cross Buns are a fun, meaningful Easter tradition and as it's Good Friday I thought I'd post this yummy picture!

I have been doing evening classes in GCSE Spanish this year (I'm still not very good and can only just about order a beer!!!!) and I had an oral exam yesterday so I thought I'd post this video....
.....I just want to pack my bags and go to La Playa in Spain now... although the weather is gorgeous and sunny here in South Wales. Hope you like the video! Besos xx

Spring is Here

Pink collection

Spring is finally here!...........It's been a beautiful sunny Spring day here in Swansea I thought I'd share these gorgeous photographs with you. I love the mood and colours of these vintage style prints by Claudia, also known as Twiggs and photography is her passion. You can follow Twiggs on her blog and you can also buy her Lomography prints from her A Lomo love affair etsy shop.

Hair fascinators

Hi, I have just started making hair fascinators out of vintage fabric and buttons. I sold a lovely headpiece today at the Gorseinon food festival and I think it looks fabulous on the lady who bought it from Heulwen Designs! :).

Here are some inspiring and gorgeous fascinators:
