West Aussie Wedding

Pemberton

I would happily get married somewhere in the Karri forest near Pemberton.

Beautiful. Tranquil. Peaceful.

girl love

This looks so hot. I love everything about it.

Her scruffy hair, her comfy boots, her ribbon necklace..

I cant really come up with an angle that makes it wedding related. Except that if I looked like this I'd marry me.

Indoor Deco's

Can lanterns do no wrong? They even look awesome hanging indoors

I like seeing ideas for decking out indoor areas. We are thinking about maybe having an indoor reception, but I still want it to look cool.

Bridesmaid Dress

I love the idea of bridesmaids wearing very bold dresses.

Like this vibrant little number from Seduce

   

Actually depending on how unconventional I am feeling, I could talk myself into wearing this as a wedding dress.. something about the blue and red I adore

The Artful Hen

When I heard about this company I knew it's exactly the kind of thing I would love to do for my hens.

It takes place in a studio with food, music, games and champers while doing a life drawing class with a sexy male nude model..

It's such a great idea.. you lose the tackiness.. without giving up the the sexy man.

And I think all of my friends would really enjoy something fun and creative like boozy life drawing with hot blokes... really what's not to like? 

 

But at this stage these are only held in Sydney, Melbourne and Brissie.. although the website promises they will be opening Perth studio soon.

I emailed the lady to find out how soon and she said that plans are on the back burner, but still on the cards at some stage in 2009. Which is fine. We havent even set a date yet and it won't be until late 2009 at the earliest. I have asked her to keep me posted.

Australiana

I love this front page of the Australia Dreaming photo shoot in this months In-Style Australia  

It's inspired by the Baz Luhrmann's epic film 'Australia' being released sometime soon.

Tea-dyed cotton lace Lee Mathews dress ($1295)

Kangaroo skin belt ($69.95) and boots ($555) from RM Williams

Tony White gold blowfly earrings ($500) (west aussie jewellery designer)

fresh as a daisy

I think these look sweet and fresh

being practical

Given the uncertain times I have decided to not only focus on the things that I WANT, but pay homage to some beautiful things that I ALREADY OWN. My jewellery box is a good place to start..

 

I bought these pretty little earrings from a market in Peru. They are quite sparkly in real life.

They are Something Blue

Grbac

I only got to see a couple of episodes of Project Runway Australia.. but since seeing some of the  winner Juli Grbacs' designs I'm really sorry I missed it.

Here are a few of her frocks on show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

bunting

I need to find a venue with trees so I can hang bunting like this

Days Gone By

How charming are these authentic wedding dress patterns??

I love this demure bride from the 1950's

 

This stylin 60's bride..

 

And my favourites from the 70's..

 

I like the empire lines. I like that they are not all white. I like the structured necklines. I like the simplicity and lack of beading and lace.
