Essence of McQueen

Even if you're not into fashion, you must watch this and appreciate the craftsmanship/fine detail/creative explosion that goes into each piece that makes this collection.

So my beautiful ACNE shoes came in the mail on Friday..one size too big..no exchanges on sale items, but they will fully refund me excluding postage to Stockholm.  Seriously.  Postage from Australia to Stockholm. FAIL. that's about $50 wasted! (anyone a size 38?!?!?!)

Yup just thought I'd share that extremely interesting piece of information.  For the record..do not buy shoes online unless you know your shoe size with that brand..


Beside that, work is once again awesome.  Sketching up hardware for Season 2 2012, and I found out today that I have the responsibility of designing wallets!
I literally cannot stress how great it feels to be getting paid for doing what I love.  It is the BEST feeling in the world.

lazy weekend

TA DAAAA

Was feeling lazy yet creative this weekend so I whipped up a vest from the pattern of my two-piece coat (shown above) that I made a few months ago.  Just left out the sleeves.  Easy peasy.

I have a..I guess a fabric fetish? well not so intense, but when I go out fabric shopping I just can't help but to spend my money on pretty fabrics.  So I have a huge tub of beautiful fabric that's just sitting in storage.  

So my project...

Design and create a summer collection aka. new summer wardrobe for myself with the unused fabric that I have.  

Hopefully I see this through..

| Vest is paired with The Row sheer black shirt, and I can mix and match with the top layer of my two-piece coat |

SUNSET

I just ordered these DEVINE shoes online.  Acne Sunset Sandals (On sale of course!)

I've never been much of a shoe person.  I only have about 7 pairs? shocking I know!
But I've started wearing heels to work, so I think it's about time I got my shoe wardrobe up to scratch.

This is unintentionally becoming a blog full of pretty pictures..I've just been so busy with work that I've had no time to do anything.  I'm sewing up a silk vest this weekend, so will put up pictures of that soon enough.
