THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE DRESSES...

From the Wardrobe of Maree W-B

Here are some of my pretty summer frocks which I just adore. Nothing beats a dress in my opinion. They make you feel gorgeous and feminine, most of them are very comfortable, and they provide a whole outfit in one garment! I like things in soft pastel colours and delicate fabrics, which I know are a pain to hand wash, but it's well worth it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ROSE TINTED ILLUSTRATION!


I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Here's a little illustration I've been working on for the holiday season. I'm just really loving a good 50's style at the moment. I mean I always have, but I've purchased a few things lately that are particularly 50's. Like a floral & polka dot swimsuit I got for Christmas, and there's a pretty vintage floral dress I'm about to order! (I'll share images when I get it).

A SINGLE BLOOM FROM MY LOVE...

Rose Tinted Photography

Every year around November/December my darling husband brings me one of my favourite flowers; a peony. Just a single bloom, nothing too fancy or elaborate. As much as I adore flowers, I honestly do not need him to bring them to me all the time. Just once as an annual thing makes it all the more special.

A ritual, a tradition, a romantic gesture, something to treasure, a fleeting beauty.

PAPER DOLL ILLUSTRATIONS // BY STARDUST SOUL



Paper Doll illustrations by Anto of Stardust Soul

Seriously wow! I am absolutely smitten with these super cute and very stylish paper doll illustrations by Anto of Stardust Soul. You must visit her blog! It is full of pretty things and although I only just discovered it a few minutes ago, it's already my new favourite read.

I've always loved paper dolls, I was very fond of them as a child and had a large file full of them. I've been thinking of doing something similar for awhile now using my own clothes. That way I can plan outfits in advance. This would be particularly helpful for the six weddings I'm attending this Summer! I don't want to wear the same thing cause where's the fun in that?

A paper doll is something that would be a lovely idea to send to a young girl sponsor child if you have one (please consider it! If everyone did we could seriously change the world).

Anto has very kindly offered these as a free printable over on her blog! I can't wait to print them out and go back to playing with doll clothes. I love the style of these clothes! You should know by now that I am a sucker for all things floral, pastel or lace. But I can also really see my sister Eloise from Jazz Lips & Tulips wearing a lot of these garments. Especially those peg leg pants and cute jumpers!

There's nothing better than a gorgeous floaty garment to wear at the seaside, and this ocean blue kimono is just a dream. Plus something like this is just incredible for a photographer to capture because of the way it moves in the breeze and captures the light. I love how airy and spacious the beach location is for this shoot, which is perfectly fitting for this kimono!
