Spring outfit : shorts with coat! my Favourite ;)

You can't take a chance with the Italian weather, you could have all the seasons in one day if your not lucky ;) Pair up your shorts with a trench coat or a lighter jacket to keep yourself prepared. I was glad i did that because the whole day it was all bright -warm-sunny and by late afternoon the weather decided to storm up with an indecent amount of rain and wind that could almost blow you away. i did ended up with a sneezy night and it wasn't so nice.

so now you could tell me whats your favourite spring look?

Tops - Thriftstore

higwaisted shorts - Pull and bear

Trench coat - Zara

Sandals - Newlook

Stay peachy,

Stay blessed,

Indie wedding : Boutonniere ideas

Got a friend's wedding coming up this summer and I've been looking for boutonniere ideas. Its gonna be an open field wedding so don't want anything too heavy or posh or too delicate. 

Im keen on using dried flowers, fruits, twigs and dried hay with jute thread and some vintage lace. It won't be too over the top yet it'll have its own class maintained- a rustic indie style. i don't wanna use anything fresh cos its a summer open field wedding and the fresh flowers and leaves may wither by the end of the day and nobody wants to have a dead plant hanging on you.

Found some very interesting ones on Pinterest (BELOW)....many very easy to DIY-ed. 

i love these but I'm afraid the flowers won't last all day

I love this, how quirky it is to use a shotgun shell...simple and perfect.

do you have any ideas?

I will update when i start to create my own DIY boutonniere. Stay updated.

Stay Peachy

Figure Skating

Love figure skating?? 

here's a school project i worked on for Chanel. 

Chanel hasn't created yet outfits for figure Skating sport and when i got figure skating as the sport to design for, it was a very challenging and yet very interesting project to start.

Chanel known for its tweed and the classic black-n-white look, i tried to maintain the same stream by not going OTT.

Figure skating dresses can be too wild and horrendous sometimes, so bright too much glittery. some are too cute, too pretty! Some of them we want to wear it as an everyday wear because they're too beautiful. 

Its amazing how the figure skating fashion change over the ages, its so inspiring! i took my inspiration from the Vintage skater outfits.

Material is an important thing to keep in mind because of the routine the skaters follow it needs to be comfortable as well as compatiable to their dance routines.

 Camellia's the flower of Chanel, i could't miss that , could i?? ;)

My skater shoe design. use of leather and Jacquard lace.

I was asked to design a window display as well and this is what i came up with. I used the Chanel symbol for hanging down my figure skating mannequin in a dance routine position.

i used the normal spotlights to create the stage light effect. Using different skating position images on the spotlight, i used the light to create a shadowy figure skating dance routine on the background.

You can check out the short video of the window display HERE

Stay Peachy!
