Lois Lane by wallpaperrose featuring wool hats

Why? Well Motel were running a competition on their facebook page - suffice to say I didn't win and probably should have done something more productive with my time. However I'm just so enamored with this outfit, I thought I would share it. This chambray dress has quickly worked it's way into my mental most wanted list, it's just such a lovely shape. And as for the Swedish Hasbeens, I really didn't think I liked them... Until I saw a green pair...If I could, I would own the entire outfit, but for now I think I'll just have to make do with a Polyvore collage!

Night Owl

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Jumat, 05 Agustus 2011 0 komentar

"Night Owl is an ecclectic homewares company run by Jessica Rose Lennox. Upcycling reclaimed wood and vintage crockery with her hand drawn illustrations of British wildlife."

Night Owl is the brainchild of Jessica Rose Lennox, who creates wonderful wildlife home ware with delicate hand drawn transfers. Jessica has very kindly donated one of her Barn Owl Mugs (above left) to our current giveaway. I was so flummoxed over which colour to choose ( I like them all, the black is classic, the brown owlish and the green is such a lovely shade) that instead she kindly said that the winner can choose whichever colour they like! (You can enter the giveaway here.)

I've been pining over her mugs and tea cups for some time, I can't help but feel a squirrel, (look at that face!) badger or owl mug would perfectly befit a cup of Earl Grey tea. Sadly I think I'm going to have to wait until I move. And have money.

I would have loved to photograph a piece for the giveaway, but it made more sense for Jessica to post it directly. You can see a lovely little feature on Night Owl by Temporary Secretary here. Also, I'm not sure it's still running, but Jessica did have a rather exciting blog competition in which you could choose the vintage piece she would put her gorgeous hare design on to. Do go and check out her new website, Night Owl, when you have a chance.

Tatty Devine

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Rabu, 03 Agustus 2011 0 komentar

Last Tuesday marked the last day of my Internship with Tatty Devine. I've been there part time for the last six week and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. A big part of me wanted to stay longer, however I'm in the process of moving and I'm also covering for my Manager while she's on holiday (which resulted in 10 days straight last week!) so to be honest it was getting a bit stressful and impractical.

If I'm honest, I didn't really learn a lot as such, it really is just basic construction (which doing all day, non stop, is pretty tiring) but it was really exciting to work on the new Autumn/ Winter collection and to put together samples for the coming Spring/Summer collection. The Tatty Devine team are lovely, they always provided a pretty stella Vegetarian lunch (I've not heard of an internship providing lunch, let alone one I could eat) and there was some incredible cakes to be had.

I baked some peanut butter and chocolate cookies to take in. I had rather grander plans for an epic carrot cake, but was informed rather late in the day that it was my boyfriend's Mum's birthday.... So we were going for dinner which resulted in all thoughts of a carrot cake being lost. However dinner was really good, and we had the loveliest news of an engagement in the family!

As a thank you they make all interns their own name necklace. I'm not massively taken by my own name, so true to crazy cat lady form, I opted for my two favourite ~~people~~ cats, Rufus and Indie. Rufus and Indie are undoubtedly tortoise shell, anchor kind of cats and I can't wait to show them. True to cat form, they will probably try to maul it.

(Said little people in question. I haven't taken any new photos of Rufus and Indie in such a long time - I need to rectify this soon.)

And as an extra gift, I was given the rather wonderful wooden moustache necklace which I like to wear with pride and a peter pan collar.

As I'm still unable to share with you the pieces I actually worked on, I thought I would show you a few of my favourites from current and past collections:

The dinosaur skeleton necklace is without doubt, my ultimate in Tatty Devine and if they ever decided to produce it in wood, I would probably have to sell all my possessions to own it.

In other news, I've had the worst customer service know to man from a small online shop. It's really upset me on many levels, a month after ordering I still haven't received the item, a refund, or a single word from the shop. I'm chasing it up via paypal, but it's just so disappointing, I've always had amazing service from small online shops and owning one myself, I just can't quite believe the service, or lack there of. I won't bore you with the details like poor Sophie but I can't but help feel it makes us all look bad when a small shop behaves like that. Maybe I've just been really unfortunate.

As I mentioned earlier I'm also in the process of moving, if you follow me on Twitter you will have seen the absurd photos of the chaos in our flat. The removals men came this morning (at 8am) so the great clean will commence this evening.

Also if you hadn't seen, I'm running a giveaway with three different prizes to celebrate Wallpaper Rose's second Birthday! (Including Max C London, Little Fille, Crown and Glory and Night Owl, as well as Wallpaper Rose.) You can enter here.

Two

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Minggu, 31 Juli 2011 0 komentar

As per usual the last few weeks have been hectic busy, so busy in fact, I missed Wallpaper Rose's Birthday! I know, awful. Wallpaper Rose is now a troublesome toddler at the grand old age of two. Quite frankly I can't believe how fast the last two years have flown by, I still remember my first order and I don't get any less excited by it now!

Befitting to our age, we intend to continue making a wild rupus, with new and exciting products and a website revamp which will hopefully start occurring in the next few week. (Now that we're two, we definitely don't want to be seen wearing the same clothes that a one year old Wallpaper Rose wore)

Anyway, seeing as we missed having a tea party in the garden, with jelly and games, to celebrate out Two-ness I'm having another giveaway for you. There are three prizes up for grabs:

GREEN Prize provided by:

Max C London SHOP FACEBOOK BLOG

Crown and Glory SHOP FACEBOOK BLOG

and Wallpaper Rose

CORAL Prize provided by:

Little Fille SHOP FACEBOOK BLOG

and Wallpaper Rose

WHITE Prize provided by:

Night Owl SHOP FACEBOOK BLOG

and Wallpaper Rose

To be in with a chance of winning one of these lovely prizes, you need to:

- 'Like' MaxCLondon's facebook page and then leave a comment on their wall with your favourite bag on their website and why (excluding the Pippa bag in the giveaway. Also mention that you're from the Wallpaper Rose giveaway!)

- Follow these blogs: Little Fille, Night Owl, Crown and Glory and Wallpaper Rose.

- Then comment below with contact details and your preferred prize - Green, Coral or White.

The competition closes on the 7th August at 12pm.

Winner will be drawn on the following Monday.

Winners will be picked at random, if your first choice of prize has already gone, you will get one of the other two.

A huge thank you to Mari, Jessica, Sophie and Lis for their donations.

And as an extra special thank you to all you Wallpaper Rose fans, you can get 15% off all Wallpaper Rose orders placed this week while the giveaway is active. Just use 'PearCrumble' at the checkout.

Good luck!

PS Crown and Glory are also celebrating their birthday with a rather wonderful giveaway too, check it out here.

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Minggu, 24 Juli 2011 0 komentar

If you hadn't heard of them before, I wanted to introduce you to Max C London, an online boutique stocked in various independent shops and larger franchises across the globe. They have very kindly agreed to donate something rather lovely to our next giveaway which should (hopefully) be launching next week!

Max C London, established in 2007 is known for it's original prints and innovative cuts across both their clothing and accessory lines. These are a few of my current favourites.

Pippa Clutch - Available in black, blue and green

Spotted long sleeve chiffon dress - Also available in black

Heart Cardigan - Also available in coral

Polka-dot playsuit - Also available in cream

Stripey shoulder dress

Max C is regularly featured on the fashion pages of glossy magazines, worn by a host of celebrities including The Saturdays and Sophie Ellis-Bextor and has enjoyed huge success throughout the blogging community. The site is also having a rather large sale at the moment, so make sure you take a look.

These are unquestionably my most coveted Max C pieces, sadly no longer available to buy, but I frequently check ebay just in case they make an appearance....

You can follow Max C on both Facebook and Twitter.

Running on Empty

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Kamis, 07 Juli 2011 0 komentar

Sorry to have been MIA again, things continue to be hectic.

However if you were waiting with baited breath, two lovely ladies have been chosen as winners for the Blog Birthday Giveaway. Lisa of Mathilde ♥ Manech won first prize and Amy of Amy Valentine won the runner's up gift - they've both already written posts about the giveaway, so do go and have a look. If you didn't win, never fear, Wallpaper Rose is turning two in a few weeks and they'll be another giveaway to celebrate. Again, I would like to say a massive thank you to the ladies who contributed to such a special prize - Sophie, Lavinia, Isobel, Katie, Jess, Lyzi, Emily and Sophie.

In other news, I started a new internship a few weeks ago doing jewellery production for Tatty Devine. It's pretty inspiring, if not incredibly tiring! Sadly I can't actually tell you about anything I've made, as it's all part of the new Autumn/Winter collection, but I'll probably do a post on my favourite classic Tatty pieces in the not too distant future. Though it does now mean Thursday is my only day off and alas I spent most of today tidying the flat - joy. It also means I start most sentences with "I'm really tired" - I've become such an old person/ bore, I'm pretty lucky anyone talks to me at all.

This week also marks the second birthday of Smug. We had a press event yesterday evening as a means of launching the host of exclusives that have been created with Smug to celebrate being two. It went really well and was all terribly exciting, mainly because there were canapes, a lady from Vogue and I got to meet Donna Wilson! (Little things and little minds spring to well, mind) Lizzie who owns Smug worked so damn hard and really made the whole evening happen. (I never know what to wear to things like this, at heart I'm awfully inelegant, but I opted for a black shift dress, with my Nancy lace bib necklace. I had heels, but they quietly remained behind the counter for the entire evening) As everyone loves a party, we're continuing the celebrations on Saturday, when we'll properly unveil the new exclusives (keep your eyes peeled on our window display!) with Thornback and Peel tea towel deals and cake in the yard. So if you're in the Angel/Islington area you should definitely come and see us!

And finally, I have a photograph in the Islington Arts Factory Summer Salon! Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to make the private view tomorrow evening, but if you fancy taking a look, here are the details:

An if you want to see the photo, look for umbrellas, lots of umbrellas....
