XL Vintage Inspired

I was stunned to discover this young designer. Alison Kelly was a participant on the fashion reality show Project Runway but has come into her own with a collection of delicate, vintage inspired and absolutely feminine pieces.

The suprise for me was the sizing! As a full figured girl i can share with you how hard it is to find vintage pieces or independent new designers producing garments in relatively large sizes. Her XL is actually extra large ;)

Winter 2010-11 Photoshoot

A couple of days ago, dear friends Alison & Sofia were kind enough to pose for some jewelry shoots for the new Collections.

It was great fun, especially since i have spent a month at home after surgery and have missed the girl talk and doing creative things with creative people!

Here are some pics from the Exclusive Collection which is available from now...for the Limited Edition Collections it will be a while till they are unveiled :).

Voluptuous Vintage

Well girls, pay attention because i am in a generous mood! ...
Everyone who adores vintage like me, but is more than a waif, will appreciate how hard it is to find lovely garments in larger sizes...well this seller over on Etsy, has an amazing selection of pieces and many in larger, even plus sizes!

So hurry over, I am sure these will be gone soon ;)

Dreamy!...

"Plum Pretty Sugar has been a journey. Dreamful, lesson-filled but sweet goodness nonetheless." says Plum Pretty Sugar in her profile and i think her creations fit that description perfectly.

Simple, dreamy caftans and dresses in romantic or tropical prints always ethereal!

First Photoshoot

Alison, a friend and fellow designer, was kind enough to pose for me in a few pics featuring my jewelry.

She did her own hair and I did the make up, styling and took the shots. Pretty good for a first effort I think...

Enjoy!

Fashion A - fair

Today I visited an exibition featuring several up and coming accessory and clothing designers. It was organized by a company called Theatre Crossroads from London and was hosted by the Booze Co-operativa Bar and lasted 2 days. During that time a theatrical performance played out, which was imaginative and fun! Here is a pic from the exibition...
