Coaster Love

I found these old-school graphic coasters on Etsy - buy lots to use at each place setting instead of one table number. They're a bargain at $20 USD for 10 different numbers. A pretty neat idea!

Emma & Nick - November 2010

There is nothing better than old friends weddings. As of late I've had quite a few and coming up (I'll blog about it afterwards) I will be a bridesmaid for the first time. Yay to that! Early November 2010 saw my very old friend from school, Emma, marry Nick in a gorgeous garden ceremony at Longview Winery in Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. The day was warm and sunny and it's safe to say the champagnes went down an absolute treat! I don't think I've ever see Em look so gorgeous. She was the absolute epitome of a glowing bride. Her Maggie Sottero dress, from Jenny & Jerry's Bridal, was perfect fitted like a glove. Our dear friend Claude Raschella was the photographer and, once again, he did a marvelous job. We all partied well into the night with wonderful food catered for by Longview. A big congratulations to Emma & Nick!

Spring 2011 Haute Couture #2

One of the highly anticipated shows of Couture Week was that of Christian Dior, designed by John Galliano. Once again his show was exactly what you'd expect from a couture show - over the top, colourful and oppulent. Paying homage to the 50's, models were styled with bold red lips, dramatic lined eyes and classic 50's updo's. Pastel gowns were a feature of the show with shapes designed to truly show off the female form. Givenchy, designed by Ricardo Tisci, took a futuristic turn opting for neutral shades with blasts of orange, yellow and pink. Feathers, heavy embellishments and sheer fabrics were instrumental in creating a heavily layered but soft and fragile collection. All collections can be viewed at www.vogue.com.au.
