I have been newly inspired to pick up my paintbrush recently.It has come like a fresh winter wind and
knocked me over!Now I’ve got itchy fingers
and can’t stop jotting down images to paint for pending quiet times.I realise I convinced myself into being ‘too
busy’ for these little luxuries in life and have completely neglected that side
of myself for far too long! I challenge
you all to get busy painting!
The influence of the 70s does note seem to be leaving
us. This Summer has an undercurrent of
this boho era and one of the consequences of this is the presence of fringing
and tassels. I am obsessed!
Designers Jil Sander, Mark Fast and Matthew Williamson capture the trend perfectly.
I love the way these trims add textural
interest and movement to any garment or look.
The use of dip-dye and metallic embellishments bring newness to this familiar
trend. Bright colours and mixed prints
leave us with fun, flirty, eclectic looks.
Louboutin does us proud... Get in my cupboard!
Fringing on everything from accessories to swimwear creates a playful and free-spirited element and gives any look a real edginess.
Olivia Palermo gets it right every time.
Rachel Bilson and Vanessa Paradis flaunt the trend.

This is my tassled necklace I found in Sydney. It spices up any outfit.
For those who love a bit of quirky fashion, the peter pan collar is such a cute detail to turn any item into a preppy treasure. I am loving the play on materials, texture and colour to make what we've seen before look so fresh!
These embellished numbers leave me inspired for a bit of DIY.
Nothing like a bit of bling for the Festive Season!
Some pearl designs... a bit of a sweeter selection
