Loving these...

At the moment I am loving all things colourful and bright!  I am completely obsessed with the neon & pvc heels by Christian Louboutin and am loving the combination of very simple straight dresses with colourful statement necklaces, neon accessories and an army of friendship bracelets!

Lookbook - pretty pastels and garden party prints

I have been wanting to do a lookbook photoshoot for some time now, unfortunately there were always other things that got in the way but I finally managed to do it this weekend!  I also wanted to finish up completely with my spring/summer collections before I move on to my next collection which will be for our light Mauritian winter.  Although Mauritius does not really have a winter (let alone any defined seasons), it does get quite chilly in the evenings round about July/August, so my next collection will be made of thicker fabrics and there will be more focus on sleeves and longer lengths compared to the summer pieces.
Enjoy these colourful outfits, if you would like any additional information please contact me here, I really hope you like them xxx

Accessorise it!

Statement necklaces and bracelets are everywhere at the moment, these colourful creations add such a playful/ amazing touch to any outfit, they instantly transform a look!  I love the way the necklaces or bracelets are layered and that the colours mix up together creating a lovely rainbow effect with a shimmer of gold or silver peeking through!  I have also become a huge fan of material combinations such as resin and metal or different colours/ types of metal and coloured bits!
I hope you enjoy the pics and have a lovely week xxx

Garden party prints - red/pink

These pieces are made from the second colourway of the printed cotton voile I used here.  I am not sure which one is my favorite although this fabric is definitely brighter, I am just such a huge fan of the watercolour-y rose print! It is slightly vintage looking but at the same time so fresh and modern...
