spot on

spots-4

Shop Sweet Lula is a delightful online party shop which has an abundance of spotty goodness… I thought I’d pick a few of my favourite spotted street styles and match them up with the sweet treats available at this one-stop party shop.

ampersand

my guest post last week for Freeworld Design Centre

The scrolling symbol called ampersand is not only has visual appeal with its curvaceous loops but also equips us with added speed & efficiency while typing or writing... just think how much time you’ve saved by hitting just one key instead of 3!

According to Wikipedia, ampersand can be traced back to the 1st century A.D. and the Old Roman cursive, in which the letters E and T occasionally were written together to form a ligature, which is when 2 or more letters are joyfully united together as a single glyph.

So join me for a little blogging ligature of my own... a joyful sojourn where typography & street style live happily ever after.

you make me blush!

did you catch my post for Freeworld Design Centre last week?

1

Such a pretty shade of pink... blush. This magazine tear out of a rosy pink-cheeked model with sweetly braided hair was the inspiration behind this post. Blush is still feminine, but more neutral and natural than your typical girly shade of pink. Isn’t this rose-gold "M" mirrored light gorgeous? I think it would suit me just fine!

2

A great pair of brocade shorts teamed with a neutral blush palette seem like the perfect match for these sweet brogues. And I’ve always loved the idea of displaying vintage frocks on bamboo ladders since they’re far too pretty to be stuck in the closet.

3

This peter pan collared blouse strikes the perfect balance between feminine charm and classic simplicity, while the uncomplicated white crockery in this painted display cabinet makes a vintage statement in a delicate shade of pink.

4

A perfect polka dot knit is toughed up with a leather biker jacket and this softly sorbet pink shade on the walls is making me melt!

6

A gorgeous backless dress makes a ladylike expression of confidence and this softly serene room is the ideal match for this stylish lady

5

One of my favourite bloggers, Jeanette Lunde, has the prettiest lounge...

7

and I’m smitten with this blush leather bag...so chic. It’s hard to resist a work space as neutral as this...

8

And this adorable red-head knows how to rock this dusty pink frock. *blush*

wild thing

did last weeks post for Freeworld Design Centre bring out your inner wild thing? grrrrr…

leopard-1

They say that a leopard can’t change its spots. Recently I’ve spotted some street styles getting in touch with their wild side. I love the contrast between these contemporary interpretations of leopard print and the vintage black and white images of this timeless print. Personally, I quite fancy a little leopard print... animal prints, when worn with a degree of subtlety, can be successfully stylish. But let’s not overkill this print by wearing it from head to toe. Restrain your inner animal by keeping it simple with a scarf, pumps or heels or even perhaps a leopard print clutch. The leopard is there, but not growling in your face.
