I stumbled across these pretty little baskets in Home & Abroad, South Yarra.
I thought these little baskets would be perfect for party favour bags and table decorations. Try putting a small vase or glass inside each one and fill with pretty flowers for a chic table centrepiece to match the favours…
Love the range of colours – the pink, red and black are my favourites. Have a lovely Sunday, hope the sun is shining for you as it is here!
You thought I was looking for fashion advice didn’t you! But I bet you didn’t think I’d be getting it from a bunny….
Today’s find is the ever so fashionable book – What Shall I Wear Today? by Fifi Lapin.
For those not familiar with Fifi Lapin, head on over here to her blog.
According to Elle Magazine, Fifi Lapin “is the world’s most stylish bunny”. And who’s to argue? She’s graced the pages of Vogue, attends all of THE runway shows and has a wardrobe that even Sex in the City’s Carrie would envy. Just take a look at this Marni outfit….
I’ve been a long time fan of the Fifi Lapin illustrations, I own one of her gorgeous prints, so I’m thrilled that she now has her very own book.
This week the new Ikea catalogue arrived, and with it a new feast of delights perfect for parties.
Take a look at these pretty pots, not just for plants, why not try them in rows on your party table and fill with flowers, pencils, candy or treats.

A confession today. I’ve only just recently figured out how to use google reader. I know. Shocking.
So up until now browsing and keeping up with all the beautiful blogs out there has been a bit of a time consuming process for me, and one to be honest, I haven’t had a lot of time to do. But, now, well it’s so much easier and I’m loving all the fabulous new blogs I can now find and read easily, every day.
This weeks find is Green Wedding Shoes, a gorgeous wedding blog featuring all things wedding. I can’t stop looking at this Circus engagement shoot they’ve featured this week shot by Brandon Kid (who also has a new blog) and styled by Nancy Park of So Happi Together.
How amazing is the typography of the circus props, the colours, the mood, the styling, everything, and what a fabulous way to celebrate and remember your engagement.
There are lots more images from this shoot featured on Green Wedding Shoes, head on over to take a look.
Today I’m loving these ABC Paper Cups! Perfect for parties, favours, picnics, let your imagination run wild!
Today I spent a lovely afternoon with the gorgeous Siobhan and Vanessa from Details Details and Prue from Gigi & Lulu at Nest in Albert Park. A perfect way to get together to celebrate and remember Ava.
Nest is a fabulous little hotel, decked out in black and white, with black chandeliers and white bird cages. On Sunday’s they offer a Vintage High Tea – and it’s delightful. The chicken sandwiches and chocolate cake were my favourites, but it was all delicious.
They have a great space perfect for any type of function, including weddings, baby showers and hen’s days. Now just to figure out what function I can have there just to use the space….
And don’t forget, if you’re planning on hosting a Tea Party, you’ll need invitations… head over to the Beauty-Full Collection for the month of August. All invitations in the range have been designed in memory of Ava and are available for $10.00. 100% of the cost going to charity.
Many of you I’m sure are familiar with Polkadotbride, she is of course one of Australia’s most loved wedding bloggers, or dare I say it, THE wedding blogger of Australia, so if you’ve been planning your wedding for a while then it’s without a doubt you’ve already been on her site and know how fabulous she is. For those that haven’t, well – visit her now!
I’ve been a fan of Ms Polka’s blog since way back in 2007 when she first arrived on the blogosphere. I love her musings, her inspiration boards and her down to earth honesty and ethics. She has given Alannah Rose so much support over the years and I count her as a special friend and mentor in the wedding industry.
So it’s with much excitement that today’s find is the NEW LOOK Polkadot Bride. Just launched on Friday, Ms Polka has a fresh new look, she’s prettier than ever and there’s loads more inspiration, ideas and sections to pour over (polkadot groom, polkadot honeymoons) and a fabulous personalised section where you can save your favourite posts, which I LOVE.
Please head on over and take a look, and don’t forget to tell her I said hi!

I always like to pop into Paperklips etsy store to see what gorgeous new delights Mel has created. She never disappoints – Mel’s garlands are perfect and I love this sweet Little Plane one. A perfect partner for our One Little Plane party invitations and Arriving Soon baby shower invitations.

When I was in Sydney last year I was delighted to discover the lovely cupcake specialty stores that are everywhere, Melbourne alas doesn’t seem to have taken on the trend yet, and there still aren’t too many around. For those in search of cupcakes in the city, I’ve discovered The Cupcake Family.
Located in the QV Centre The Cupcake Family is a sweet little store that sells nothing but cupcakes and macaroons. The girls and I always love a little stop in there – our favourites are the cupcake mini’s – a perfect size for children – they taste delicious and they manage to eat both the icing AND the cake, always a bonus!
I noticed they do events, perfect for parties if you don’t have time to make your own cupcakes.
I’ve long been a fan of the gorgeous Tearoom venues in Sydney, so I was excited to learn this week that they’ve acquired another venue – Dunbar House.
A total restoration of the building commences in late June 2010 which will see the building being refurbished both inside and out. It will be revitalised from its current state to pay homage to the 1830’s.
Located on the shores of Sydney Harbour, in the expansive grounds of Robertson Park, Watsons Bay, The Tea Room Dunbar House will provide a truly spectacular setting.
Great news for those getting married next year – The Tea Room Dunbar House is scheduled to open early 2011 – I can’t wait to see the gorgeous transformation.
