Parliament of Two Giveaway

Parliament of Two is the collaboration of designers Vanessa Moule and Melissa Beal, great lovers of books, dressing up and eating kalamata olives whilst drinking tea.

These lovely girls, have just launched a fun new range of necklaces Pimped Up Memories! Their super styled bubble wands are a tribute to all those sparkly, larger than life, kid memories.

I remember one day at Tafe (college) we had a 4 hour gap between classes, and went to Kmart and bought bubbles from the toy section and sat in the grass area playing with bubbles, skipping ropes and just being silly, to pass the time.

What you can win

You can win a gorgeous necklace of your choice!

BONUS ENTRIES IF YOU..
-Describe a childhood memory or the last time you used a bubble wand.

I went to flickr to find an image, and something caught my eye in my contacts, I found these gorgeous images by Aleyn Comprendio.  They have an amazing sense of calm and beauty.

My lovely kitchen tea/ bridal shower this Saturday. My lovely Bridesmaids Aleatta and Kim put it all together. We had a lovely Alice themed high tea. With lovely cakes, sandwiches, scones and tea. Played a quiz game and a toilet paper dress game. It was such a lovely day of catching up with friends and being girly. You can see the full set of photos on my wedding blog.

wedding wednesdays: occupying the children

We will have about 18 children at our reception, and to keep them busy I wanted to make them little packs. This is a little sneak peak. I am making them packs with moleskine journals, crayons, pom poms, stickers and sweets.  I hope this keeps them busy, and makes them feel special.

wedding wednesday- make up

1//eye makeup photos  2//keiko lynn 3//too much lovely  4//Model Love

Today I am off for my make up trial! I wrote this post ahead of time, so I may or may not end up taking these images as inspiration, I am still deciding what look I want to go for. It’s Autumn, so I want a look that suits the season, and also a little vintage influence.   Wish my luck x
