VI Couture - Vintage Inspired Fashion: January 2010
http://vintageinspiredcouture.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Finished Bits n Bobs. Over the last couple of weeks I've been a tad busy, hence the reason I've not stopped by to update my blog as much. As I posted a little while back, I'll be focusing much more on publishing my book this year so for the past week I've been organising a shoot to make a book trailer. For 30seconds worth of trailer it's a lot of work! But I'm a little off track. I've also been making a wedding present for one of my friends which I finally finished last weekend. The whole pocket is hand ...

My friend Laura from dancing is currently finishing her fashion design degree, of which I am slightly jealous. Her designs are very ballet-esque but as you can see, she likes to add a touch of grunge to some of her outfits. These are just some of her fantastic designs. Personally I love the one shoulder gold piece. Pretty! This one is so cool. I love the tulle and the big overlapping frills. So please help her out! And vote for Laura McCormack - she's the next big thing! Pink it, baby! So there it is....

Sorry I've been a little MIA over the last few days. What with a little bit of the flu and the internet deciding to be temperamental, I've not had the chance. Today I've chosen Vintage Clothing from vintageclothing.com.au. For my Featured Vintage article. The owner of said site also maintains a blog by the name of "What are they wearing now". I've found some delightful pieces on her site that, for those who can't help but have them, are luckily also for sale. All in all I'm on a roll (finally)! No pics t...

Wow my weekend was mega-ly busy! On Saturday I ran some errands, fixed up the finishings inside the sleeves of the comp dress and then went to a friend's place to work out her outfits for my October photo shoot (it's going to be so fantastic! Then went to another friend's place for dinner and worked out her outfits also - I was in super stylist mode on Saturday! We had to jump in the car after every outfit to warm back up - the wind was blowing (anyone in Canberra will know how nasty that can get! Meet G...

Doesn't she look awesome? Oh an...

Since making it's return to the more popular fashion circuits in the last few years it's now taking a distinct vintage turn, angling more towards their predecessors of the 60's and 70's. Being that these dresses are freakin' fantastic pieces that are usually splashed with poignant colours and have the potential for use in any social situation - dress it up or dress it down. Easy! Very Farrah Fawcet - I have a thing for pleats. I love this one in all it's love-child glory. Very summer suitable. Has also r...

Pink Saturday - Breast Cancer Awareness Week. This week there was lots of PINK around to create awareness for breast cancer. Only just this week I opened a store on Etsy.com selling my handmade accessories. I posted about the grand opening and giveaways for such but I also thought about doing something PINK for the week that is. So I created a few more Fascinate Me TM. Cute little pink and clear beaded glasses accessory. Another mini fascinator - using new and recycled beads. New stuff up at my store!

Some people see vintage simply as "old stuff". True, not going to debate symantics here but old is not always bad! Anyways, back to the debate. So old or new? Vintage might be old, but at least you know it lasts. Something from the 70s has been around 40 years already. It's got history and it hasn't fallen apart at the seams like so much stuff you buy nowdays. Plus it's one of a kind. It would be a very freaky coincidence if you saw someone else wearing the exact same vintage piece as you. Here's my vers...

Etsy Inspiration - Prom/Formal Dresses. Pretty much all I have on my mind at the moment is this formal dress I'm planning to make insha allah. And since I'm just waiting for the results from the votes to come in, I decided to go raid etsy and find some cool prom/formal dresses that may serve as inspirational at a later date. Here is what I found. Black and purple rocks! I don't know if I could destroy a prom dress like that - only if it were my style, I suppose. So now I'm back to waiting. Sakeenah?
