Blodyn corsage

New corsage on my folksy shop made of  ivory satin fabric and  finished with a cluster of beautiful pearls. Each petal is hand-cut from layers and layers of high quality fabric.

Royal wedding....like a fairytale!

Stunning!

Pure romance... the horse-drawn carriages and Chantilly lace, the balcony kisses and moments so breathtakingly lovely! Her gorgeous dress designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen combined tradition and modernity and beautiful hand-cut English lace and French Chantilly was used throughout the dress.

Finally the couple share a kiss on the balcony! Vanity Fair

The eight -tiered royal wedding cake

The extraordinary eight-tiered wedding cake decorated with 900 sugar-paste flowers which included 17 symbolic blooms. Utterly wonderful! The project left cake-maker Fiona Cairns exhausted but elated after working for five weeks on it! 

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..

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
