More on Muscari
Sorry, couldn't resist... the Muscari jewellery is too gorgeous not to share. In fact, everything on their site is most desirable!

I can hardly believe how totally gorgeous these little buttonholes are. They're from Muscari. Some of these lovely designs, together with unique ring pillows, can be purchased through their Etsy site and they do ship internationally.

Sticky Prints
After reading the Follow Studio blog, I found a lovely stationery supplier called Notemaker. A quick search revealed this clever patterned sticky tape. A great idea to embellish envelopes or invitations. There are a number of different patterns too so it's worth a look.

Mariana Magic
Mariana Hardwick’s latest collection, New Age Heirloom, draws inspiration from the ‘Belle Époque” or beautiful era, a period in European history that began during the late 19th century. Cascades of lace and ultra feminine clothes were in high demand, no expense was spared.
La Belle Époque was a wonderful time for fashion, a time when clothes showed off the female body with great elegance and style. Silhouettes of La Belle Époque focused on the female form giving the body shape through intricate corsetry techniques. Like gowns of the Le Belle Époque the latest collection from Mariana Hardwick has achieved a rich lavishness. Effortlessly romantic this collection showcases Mariana’s signature decorative techniques while maintaining modern simplicity.
A soft and romantic colour palette, matched with the most feminine of silhouettes and fabrications. Refined and delicate hues of pearl whites, ivory and latte with highlights of dusty lemon and lavender gives the collection a precious quality. Luxurious fine silk and silk satin, a soft mix of silk georgettes, organza’s and
sequin georgettes, satin crepe, beaded and silver gilt lace and embroidered tulles feature in the collection. Visit Mariana Hardwick at www.marianahardwick.com.au for further infomation.

Charmed I'm Sure
I'm on the lookout for interesting pieces to add to the charm necklace I'm making. I found Thomas Sabo online. The company started in Bavaria but has outlets all over the world including Australia. The range is modern and cute, with charms that would be perfect as a gift for all your bridesmaids. Try the nifty Charm Creator that allows you to add to a bracelet to see how your choice looks.

Baby Buzz
Our London Calling correspondent, Elizabeth Syer and her partner Colin are the proud parents of Oliver Felix Hugo Dimmock who was born in London, Friday night our time. We are thrilled to welcome a new member to the Style Guide team and can't wait to share some photos when we get them.

True to form Elizabeth was still sending through emails with inspiring ideas right up until the day she gave birth. She is probably reading this blog from her hospital bed right now!

All we have to do now is work out what gift to send - maybe something like these adorable hoodie jackets from Seed.

Flutter-buys
I so love these little butterflies, and how brilliant do they look en masse. Eli Edwards has created a magical collection from interesting materials. I am so going to keep this idea in mind!

Danny Snell
I'd like to introduce you to the work of an illustrator I admire, Danny Snell. He is a very talented designer who has produced work for some of the biggest agencies in the country as well as large publications such as the Financial Review. I love the evocative imagery and clever typography. I haven't seen Danny for years but after chancing a look at one of his illustrations in a design book last week and then seeing him across a crowded supermarket over the weekend, I knew it was a sign I had to write about him. He's not only a brilliant illustrator, but a nice guy to boot!

How Magical
Here is something no-one else will give! A Wedding Jar Fairy by Lisa Kettell at Flickr. They are three-dimensional collages using photographs, glitter and flowers. A sweet, nostaglic take on the old adage of 'something old'. I love them.
