chocolate & pink is one of my favourite colour combos!
its no surprise to see chocolate truffle & rose dust among Pantone’s 10 hot colours for autumn 2010
the richness of chocolate is the perfect base to compliment many shades of pink. it’s a classic combination that’s both fresh & sophisticated
this week, I’m delighted to feature some gorgeous handmade accessories from the AnK Bowtique
Angie & Kristy are the talented mums who make this range of delightful accessories & teach their children through the school of the air
using the prettiest ribbons, touches of crochet, vintage yo yos, & flowers of all types, their attention to detail & the way they combine colours has taken their made it shop to #1 on the top 100 Australian Handmade kids sites
their delicious chocolate crochet beanie + Kate Korker clip co ordinates perfectly with Madi’s pink Bridget B sweater
Pumpkin Patch had a gorgeous pink & chocolate collection a few years ago – Ebay is a great source for near new items like these:

surfing the internet for eye candy & inspiration? these are a few things that caught my eye this week …
this amazing pancake breakfast was such a clever idea for a party
it was inspired by this sweet & stylish wedding with lots of DIY details
http://www.stylemepretty.com/ – filled with gorgeous photos & delicious details, its the ultimate wedding blog!
these birthday parties: one for the boys & one for the girls & this naming day celebration are also big on style

this mobile vintage mobile cupcakery is such a unique idea – the cupcakes look delicious don’t they?!
& because no post is complete without a photo, here’s an everyday life storyboard of master B & the pets (that was nearly lost during the gecko frying the computer incident)

when a client books a session, the number one question they have is “what do we wear?”
the key is to wear something that makes you feel comfortable & confident
some people love the tried & true look of denim + white
but you can really have some fun creating outfits with colour & layers – like this:
with dark denim & splashes of emerald green – these outfits match, but don’t look like a uniform because the layers & textures add character!
wearing layers or a sleeve is a flattering look for most people (even if you’ve been working out like Angelina Jolie)
so this time of year, when the days are starting to get cooler, is an ideal time to schedule a portrait session
stay tuned for more what to wear wednesday posts!
m & b helped to dust flour on the floor so we could see the bunny’s tracks. there were two sets of tracks this year – a mama & her baby perhaps?
i especially loved the little signs they wrote for the bunny (including a thank you after her visit)
i hope you had a happy chocolate covered easter too!
