Mood/ Vision Boards....

Ever needed a little more motivation?... 

Vision and mood boards are a great way to help you set goals and keep yourself motivated. I have started two seperate ones for slightly different aspects of my life. In the past I have found myself easily disheartened and unmotivated but this half of the year really wanted to change that! 

The first mood baord is a bunch of images or childrens wear garments that I had collected over time that really inspired me! Also a bunch of adorable fabric I had collected and cut into shapes and images. Anything that made me feel inspired and think, adorable! I placed it on my huge "study" soon to be "office" desk with pefect flowers, a vintage art work from my Mums childhood room and scented soy candles, of course!

The second mood board was more like, a mood door! I put together images from magazines, like the fernwood fortmonthly magazine, FRANKIE magazine, women's heath mag and special things from Lola Berry's healh Seminar (an amazing food/health nut, check her out here!). Also through on a bunch of polaroids of people that mean the world to me! (but more about those polaroids in the next post, or so.)

Work Experience...

I was lucky enough to have the oppurtunity to work for an amazing childrens wear designer label, SUDO.

I was able to work closely with the design team who were super welcoming and taught me with open arms about the fashion industry. If you havn't already heard of this label go check it out, here! Here is something from the current range that stood out to me... I loved the classic shape, Aztec print and beautiful attention to detail! Finding inspiration for all walks of life is paramount, and this week was a really important one for me!

I was lucky enough to be able to put my own outfits together and take home georgous garments for some family! Skinny leg jeans, shirts, jersey knit long sleeves.

Spotted in SUDO! Dressed by me, and loving his little outfit... Isn't he adorable??

Go get Inspired! x

It's official...

I'm excited and proud to say Mickey Rose is really starting! With more things organised and under way it means this is really coming together.... Eeep! I will be posting little projects I am currently working on through my final semester at uni and little things inspiring me towards my label. Early next year production will take off but for now I am honoured to make you guys a part of my journey. I hope you can continue to enjoy the blog! Half as much as I enjoy bringing it to you :) x

Myer Autumn/Winter 2013

On the 28th of February and 1st of March I had the privilege of working backstage for the Myer Autumn/Winter range launch. I was able to work alongside some very talented crew whom worked tirelessly towards making this event possible and were kind enough to show some RMIT students just how much work goes on behind the scenes.  Alongside this I was able to meet the beautiful, Jenifer Hawkins and Chris Smith. 

I was fortunate enough to have my own work station, and dress my own model in the amazing designer work such as; Aurthur Gallan, Charlie Brown, Sass & Bide and much more. Below I have included some of the stunning designer garments from the event... 

A common trend throughout the upcoming seasons range that captured my attention were; silver sequin embellishments, geometric shapes and patterns, paisley patterns, block colours of the very classic black and white, leather panelling, peplums, and the contrast of structure and flow so carefully put together...

Inspirational!

14th of February

On the 14th of February I woke up to the smell of pancakes and my amazing Sister, Mum & Boyfriend.
Happy Birthday to me...
1. Amazing table setting, with antique plates and hand painted paper dowlies
2. Pancake stack, choc chip, banana and plain wholemeal pancakes
3. Homemade Latte, and homemade orange juice waiting to follow
4. Home grown flowers, handpicked that very morning
5. A stack of presents!

I was super spoilt this year, Thank you to all the amazing people that helped me celebrate over the three days! I am feeling very grateful... Just remember for the next birthday coming up in your life get a little crafty or personal, a little thought goes a very long way.

Enjoy.x

Hens Night.

As part of my Wedding line of posts, I'm happy to show you the Hens night put together by four wonderful bridesmaids. Blogging is a great way to get inspiration and ideas for hosting your next event, I hope this helps!

I think surprises are great! Keeping the Bride to be out of it, & you organise these fun events.
As we know brides have enough to do.

For this special occasion we decided to start with High Tea, homemade, of course. High tea is a buffet of scones, cream, cupcakes, plenty of tea and in this case a little sangria! We baked all the amazing goods ourselves assigning each bridesmaid to a job. The buffet table was an elaborate array of three tier platters filled with mini sweets and savoury goods, jars of lollies and nick nacks that we had collected over time to complete the feel.

The table setting is an important part to a tea party... We completed it with a tea cup (varied style for every table placement), a placemat (which was actually just a piece of scrap booking paper) but it really completed the look, a doily coaster (for the tea cup!), and to finish it unique place cards with everyone’s names and a vintage pin up girl (ready to wear as lanyard for the rest of the night!). *example above

This created the perfect eclectic vintage stay at home High Tea.

Next we travelled off to, "Hens love art". *picture above*
Staying true to a traditional hen’s night! The retro loft was filled with easels, 15 giggling Champaign drinking women and one buff man ready to be drawn. “Hen’s love art” made the experience complete, with small prizes, fun music and dress ups for the Hen.

And then it’s always nice it end the night with some bar hoping, and a boogie.

Happy planning!

Sorry, I've been on coffee break.

so, I'm going back in time for a few posts before I start posting about now! Sometimes we need to admit it, life just gets in the way.... But I'm back in the blogging world and figers crossed, I'm here to stay!
