Pandaharmonium

I have been a very bad blogger recently and neglected you all terribly. My sincerest apologies, I have been busy in real life (graduating and entertaining family, mostly) and as such am now infinitely tired. Tired beyond my very beliefs as to if it is humanely possible to be this tired, but I just wanted to show you some images that has inspired the next set of pieces...and if I can pull it off, I think you're going to bloody love them!

Can you guess what it is yet?! I can't wait to get back home and get a'making.

What We Would Wear Tuesday

This weeks' addition of What We Would Wear is a definite dream outfit....the only feasible item aside from the Lindsey Fascinator is the Topshop bed jacket...this is actually much more glamorous in real life (you'd think an institution like Topshop would hire good photographers, wouldn't you...) and as I got paid a little extra for the wedding I photographed at the weekend, I might just have to add this to my wardrobe. I absolutely love the idea of a bed jacket, especially when its' rocked up with some Current/Elliot jeans and an Alexander McQueen skull clutch, and this is just the perfect one, I can see it becoming a real wardrobe staple that will transcend seasons. It will take me right through autumn winter, and is in my opion quite reasonable for Topshop at £35.

The Lindsey fascinator I featured at the weekend...but didn't get to wear it! Sob! I was struck down with a nasty tummy bug (or concussion....who knows!) on Sunday and thus had to miss out on the leaving party. If my bank account was endless, I would definitely be buying myself the above outfit to make up for it.

I'm actually waiting on the components for a headband version of the Lindsey fascinator, so watch this space!

Sunday Spectacular

I rarely use text talk, but these DIY tights by cocorosa have just made me go OMFG! outloud. The Miu Miu print is just so perfect for summer, and has given me a flash of inspiration for my next hairpiece....watch this space!

This blog is easily my new favourite; check out the gorgeous inspiration photos on the left-hand side. Her outfits and setting for the photography are just beautiful; I definitely have blog-envy right now.

Cocorosa posts a very in-depth tutorial of how to make these tights here

Happy Birthday Crown & Glory!

Happy Birthday Crown & Glory!

Crown & Glory is one month old today! Things have been going swimmingly so far, I've even started making a bit of money! I thought I'd use this opportunity to let you know about a few exciting things coming up. Firstly, we're incredibly honoured to have been asked to be the sponser of Scarlett Sta Burlesque; a monthly burlesque event in Portsmouth. Check them out on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12857004847&v=info&ref=ts

In collaboration with Scarlett Sta Burlesque, we are developing a new range of Nautical inspired fascinators, barettes and clips. The first fascinator should be available by the end of the weekend, so stay tuned!
