Spring Palette Sew Along - Skirt 1.

Well I  finished my first piece for the Colette Spring Palette a while ago but the captain is home so we finally have some photos and more photos to come as I finish up skirt two.  I am really happy with the skirt, I have made changes to the pattern as the pockets would have been down by my knees and the fabric was too thick for a gathered waist and made my middle look rather large.





This is the Vogue pattern I used and I love the drawing on this cover, so chic.





I used a satin backed crepe in a sea foam green and went with a few pleats rather than the gathered waist.

















Shirt Body (all in one) - Italy?
Sandals - H&M SS11
Necklace - Portugal 
Clutch Bag - Gucci


So what do you think, and any ideas what I should wear it with when it heats up a bit more?  So I shall finish the other skirt and top so more photos next week.  




Have a great Friday lovelies and look out for some Saturday Club fun and links.  ax

March is Here..

Well March is here already, this year is just racing ahead.  I though I would share these wonderful photos of ducklings as they always remind me of spring and they are so cute.  I have spring fever people and the weather needs to catch me up soon.




Well back to the sewing, Happy March and may the spring sun be shining on you all.

Mango Love

After looking at Zara last week I thought I would check out Mango.  To me Mango hasn't been as good of late, prices are up, style and quality are down, but they have come out with the best Spring line I have seen in a long time.  Take a look and see if you agree.








I am loving this red/coral dress so very much, it would work for so many occasions and the simpler orange dress is a classic wash and wear forever.  Do you have those go to dresses that are on rotation all summer, wash, wear, wash, wear and just change the accessories?







 I think this jersey dress is really cute with a great cat print and it has a wonderful scoop back.







The stripe and denim dress, the button shoulder sweater and the nude lace skirt, all great pieces that you would wear to death.







But don't take my word for it, check out Mango on line for yourself, there is so much on there that I want, I have no idea where to start.  Although the red dress with sash bow is so mine, maybe I should get it now in case they sell out.  Hehe oh how I love clothes.




So how are you all on this fine sunny Monday, ready for another week?  The year seems to be flying past so far, I wish it would slow down a little but as your granny always said "time speeds up when you get older".  Arrgh...I best get a move on.




Happy Monday my lovelies.

Emerson Made's Spring is Here.

 The beautiful Emerson of Emerson Made, my favourite affordable designer has done it again.  Her wonderful spring line is available as from today!  Woohoo!  If you have not checked out her gorgeous site get on over there, as things go fast.  I am lucky enough to have a couple of pieces from the fall line and I love them, they also arrived (very quickly for International delivery) with a wonderful lavender sachet so my clothes smell gorgeous too.  I find her pieces so easy to wear and they solve many a wardrobe crisis, as my hubby will tell you, as he no longer hears the annoying cry of "I have nothing to wear".








These jeans are the best and a very light weight denim, so I get to wear them all summer.









The multi talented lady is also the face and model of the line.















































These gold coin necklaces are new and of course I am dying for the dragonfly one which is inscribed in Latin "I shall either find a way or make a way", so perfect for valentines day. (hint, hint Captain)









Ooh spring hurry up so I can wear some of these wonderful clothes, but first, what to choose?






Happy Monday lovelies, I hope the start of the week is being good to you all.
