Weekend


When I got home the other day I was suprised to see that my wonderful husband had strung up a hammock for me in our garden so I would have somewhere to go a relax after a long day. Yesterday evening after the heat had cooled, armed with a glass of wine and some books and magazines, I spent a very pleasant couple of hours relaxing in the shade. Wherever you are I hope you are having a lovely, relaxing weekend too!

Friday Night Drinks


It's hot here today and I am in the mood for a classic margarita. I love the salty, sweet taste and the bitterness of the fresh lime juice. This frothy sea foam dress from label 'Tiffany Amber' would be lovely, light and cool to wear.
Classic Margarita Recipe
1 ounce Tequlia
Dash of triple sec
Juice of half a lime
Pour over crushed ice, stir. Rub the rim of a stem glass with lime, spin in salt and pour.
Perfect!

A few weeks ago I mentioned we had a shoot for Maiden Luxe. Here are a couple of the images from the photo shoot. Again a huge thank you to the lovely Kim Selby of www.kimselbyphotography.com for the beautiful images. We are now busy planning the next shoot. This is definitely one aspect of the job I love!

Happy Tuesday

Back to Work

Today is my first day back in the office after the Christmas break. While I love what I do I still found it very difficult to get up this morning and get motivated to get out the door. I once knew someone who would never take more that three days in a row off as they couldnt face the post holiday blues. I think the best tonic to get through the first day back at work is to start planning your next break, which is what I intend to do today- once I get through the backlog of emails!

Bow Influence

I love the bow detail on the back of this dress. This image is one of the influences that is inspiring me while design the next range for Maiden Luxe.
