Spring Summer 2011

I've just been doing a little window shopping for summer clothes. I don't usually go for the latest trends, but there's a lot I like out there at the moment.

I love the "sugar spice" look, all lacey, swishing pleats, and soft colours - very girly and romantic,

(Valentino SS11)

and after THAT dress, (sorry that'll be Kate Middletons wedding dress for the non brits out there!) I'm thinking the lace trend is going to go a bit crazy. 

 I love this top on modcloth 

...maybe with a swirly skirt, and ballet flats. Lovely!

And this dress is pretty gorgeous too... Also from Modcloth. A shame it's a US website I want one! Now.

 

Going with the whole girly trend, I've just ordered some more rose quartz, so look out for some more girly jewellery from me soon...

Do you like the girly look?

Treasure hunt

I hope you all had a great Easter. The weather was fantastic, so the girls had a little easter egg hunt in the garden. I can't believe I had my winter coat on again today, yet on Sunday we were worried about the eggs melting in the garden while they were looking.

Aha..... spotted them!



Do you like the girls skirts. I got a little over excited over the Easter break and actually got my sewing machine out. I know they're nothing fancy, and the seams'll probably go in the first wash, but hey I'm feeling pretty darn proud of myself.

I followed this simple skirt tutorial.....

and trust me - it was really simple.

I'm also making some of these circle skirts but stalled trying to get hold of the right size elastic and have ground to a halt now... maybe in the summer hols when I get all domestic again!

For now, it's my first free morning for ages, and here I am on the computer, so I'm going to turn it off and go make some jewellery!
