Can You Dig It?

Lately it seems as though  I have lost all interest in reality. Its a complete bore! and why would I be interested when I could be completely swept up and lost in the world of fairytales?!

Fairytales are everywhere right now! (Tangled, Once upon a time, Snow White & the Huntsman, the up and coming Malificent - if you know more, please let me know!). I'm an easy target, I've loved fairytales since I was a little girl (of course!), not to mention my rather morbid collection of Grimm Fairy tales.

So, naturally, I'm utterly inspired and hoping to share the enthusiasm.

Inspired too?

Most importantly though, I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that very shortly I will be starting a new project  - "The Wicked Stitch"

The plan is to don a different fairytale character (good or bad) for each post. However, I won't be sewing costumes (that would be impractical), rather I will be styling garments that I will wear in real life to create something magical and other worldly.

I'm terribly excited about this, not only will it be a world of fun, but it will give me a chance to play with my new camera and see what it can do.

I've been working away on my first post, and all I will say is it is certainly a little different!

I hope your just as excited as I am, I have a hundred ideas already!

Can You Dig It?

I stumbled across Ulyana Sergeenko last night, I'm not even sure how.

All I know is that I love it so much, that the thought of not having at least one of these dresses hurts my heart a little. What am I talking about, it hurts a lot!

So feast your eyes my friends, on the sheer delight that is Ulyana Sergeenko -

Now, pick that jaw up off your desk and start thinking about how in the world I can get my hands on these dresses or create some that look just like them.....?

Can You Dig it?

After a brief but chilly cold snap here in Sydney, my creative cogs are a whir with Autumnal planning. My first thought - Capes!

Antique Cape from Capricorne

1950's Capelet from Circa1955Vintage

Handmade cape by WALDWOLKEN

and with such an adorable picture, who could resist!

This adorable Blackboard Cape comes to you from Alice Nightengale

What a novel idea!

It may be a few sizes too small, but this itty bitty cape made by Belinda from Little Wool Maus was just far too cute to pass by!

A stunning red cape from Il Filo Di Ari - If Only I knew what she was saying! that aside, her blog is a treat for the eyes!

Machen/Machens classic and stylish cape.

Do you dig the cape look too? I can't wait to get started on my own version!

Can You Dig It, Baby?

I'm totally diggin' Zooey Deschanels style right now. Perhaps I'm a little late on the uptake in regards to this, but I'm glad I didn't miss it all together! She has such a quirky, 60's girl next door vibe -

Not to mention she is the "She" in the awesome musical duo "She & Him", which has been making  frequent appearances on my Ipod lately. Even their music video's are fantastically retro -

She may have influenced my new haircut, but you know, just a smidge.... its not like I'm a fan or anything!

Do you have any new style icons?
