Bags bags bags..

Hello and happy Monday everyone!

The weekend has gone by so fast! Hasn't it?
Another week of February is already here and it seems a nice start too as after a bit of a wet and miserable weekend the sun has reached us here in Edinburgh, even though it's quite cold it's so nice to see the light!
I'm just having a big mug of a really nice coffee- my favourite kind with freshly homemade coconut milk and vanilla stevia, yum! I had a busy weekend and I am feeling quite tired so let's hope that coffee is going to work its magic^_^

A while ago I made this Oversized Fashionsita  Bag using Lisa Lam's pattern from her The Bag Making Bible book (which is really quite awesome! I love it!).





Lisa's bag


My version had a bit of a sport look to it -as it was a present for my sister and that was what she requested. I loved the bag so much that nearly kept it for myself!^_^

And my bag




































Anyway finally after a few months time she sent me a few pictures and I have to say- I am so glad I didn't keep the bag, it's just so perfect for her, isn't it?







































And she made so much effort with the preparation for her 'home made 'photo shoot session- all done by herself: make up, hair, taking and editing pictures and I appreciate her feedback and all the effort so much that I really want to share them with you!^_^







Have a great Monday!

Fell in love with Haute Couture


Good afternoon everyone!

I fell in love today. Again!^_^
I re-discovered Haute Couture fashion and spent a great deal of my day looking at Couture collections- Dior, Alexander McQueen , Oscar de la Renta and many many more... recent once as well as older designs from the 50s and oh how I love those big twirl skirts! I've create a Pinterest board too where you can find lots of picture pinned.
Here

Don't you just love them??^_^

I've been inspired so much that now all I want is to sit down and work on a beautiful inspiration board full of images I've seen today and then design something for myself- a Haute Couture dress!^_^ Isn't it awesome?

I also found this cute bespoke dolls wearing exact replicas of famous Dior designs!
The link is here

Have a lovey evening!
