Just found a lovely little blog post by fellow Perth blogger Jessica Mcleod - Made By Bees. I was tickled pink to see this particular street style post: the dress is a Ginger Fox vintage number, and, as a bonus, it's on a lovely friend of mine, Perrie Taylor. I adore stand-out vintage designs like this spunky red number. It's a fantastic example of 80's American vintage - bold and wonderfully crafted (sturdy, vibrant cotton). Vintage items like this are a challenge to wear sometimes, it takes a little extra thought towards how to style it and more importantly, a healthy dash of confidence. Well worth it when you end up in a head turning combo like our Miss Taylor's.
I attended the Times Square Winter Launch in Claremont last night. It was a rooftop catwalk event hosted to celebrate the winter collections of fashion labels including Breathless, ae'lkemi, Rapt, Bettina Liano, Leona Edmiston and Wayne Cooper. Perfect weather and a bevy of stylish guys and gals made it a lovely night indeed.
Another Saturday and another market. This last market however was wildly entertaining as I was lucky enough to have a prime view of Mr Aaron Smyth's amazing balloon twisting talents. I never knew you could create such amazing designs with the humble sausage balloon. I was very quick to snap up a sky blue monkey to adorn my stall. He became my market mascot and got a fair amount of attention from the passers by. Best of all, when Mr Monkeys tail sadly popped at around 3pm, the Balloon guru himself came to the rescue and gave my monkey a fresh tail transplant. To cap the day off nicely, I was given a tini tiny turtle to take home. It was a great day!
I have popped (haha) onto Aaron's facebook page and pulled a few more examples of his creations. How cool are the super heroes? So now I have a whole week to decide what creation to get next.
