flowers for the flower show
For the next three days I will be at the Newport Flower Show. The weather promises to be warm, but rainy. Perfect for flowers, but not so good for my frizzy hair. Here are a few pieces all ready to go into a decal firing. The images will turn a sepia brown color in the firing. Visit me in Newport to see how they turned out.

astro tiles
I had a grand vision of creating a wall of oversize tiles with vintage etchings of astronomy, meteorology, mathematics, and physics. My porcelain is not cooperating. The size of the tiles is just too big for the strength of the clay. They twist and sag and crack in the high fire. Out of four, only one survived. I think I will switch to making a wall of plates instead.

A Grand Flat, also { 22 today! }
Sure this gorgeous flat is big and spacious but that's not what the "Grand" refers too, rather I am talking about it's style. A beautiful home filled with antiques, full of class and elegance. Join me on this tour will you?

Tanks, Vests & Camis - your style Statement
When comfort, style and chic all come together with one piece of clothing, what more could you ask? This summer's vests, tees and camis are colourful and fun - you can play with ruffles, lace, colours, prints and sheer. There surely is a style for every occassion.
.
This season tees, tanks, camis and vests have restyled themselves and are the epitome of comfort and chic. You can dress them up or down, depending on the weather and occassion.
And who says your tanks and camisoles are only meant for the the beach or running errands for the day? They have taken a whole new dimension. You can wear it to the office, for a evening party or to a girls lunch-out.
I know, for most of us, anything other than denims to team with your tank or tee sounds doubtful. But give it a shot.
A formal jacket with slim pants and a colourful cami or V-neck T and smart shoes can be worn at the office, and would definitely break the everyday monotonous office look. For a night-out or a party, throw in come sexy strappy heels and metallic clutch, with smart black demins and a hot pink cami, and you will totally look chic.
Pair a light, ruffled or lacy cami-top with a tiered skirt or this season's hottest mini-tulip skirt (ones which is softly gathered at the waistband, with gentle folds and pleats that create the illusion of a slimmer waist), to look like a million bucks. Want to wear it differently? Feminine, scalloped-lace-trimmed cami with V-neckline is perfect peeking out beneath a sweater or jacket.
Want to wer a smart vest, not the generic you've been wearing over the years?
Neon pink, bright yellow, burnt or bright orange, electric blue, bright green are the favourite colours of the season. Pick your favoruite colour and style, to make a style statement this summer with your wardrobe staple.

For a more sophisticated look, team a ruffle cami with smart cotton shorts or cropped pants. You can dress it up with a cardi and accessorise it well. This cami-look can be easily worn for a lunch or dinner date, just a simple get together, for shopping or travelling.

You can so totally dress up your simple vest with slim fit or skinny jeans and a dressy blazer. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so see for yourself:

The Glitter Gypsy Princess
Because we all need some sparkles in our lives right? :)
A massive THANK YOU to all your lovely comments yesterday, it really made my day! I knew it wouldn't be easy, there are so many fashion stores out there, but this is my dream, although I have only made a tiny step, I'm happy because at least I am one step closer. :D
Fashion & Design should never be in my path, being a Maths graduate, interned in a Bank & taking a Finance Masters next year. All those things should lead me to banking but I can't help what I love, none of us can. So thanks you all for being so kind and supportive!
ps. The City Sage is having a lovely giveaway - a pair of Chie Mihara sandals!
back to drawing
My grandmother gave me water color drawing lessons when I was very little. We drew from a still life, which grandmother would set up. Here we all are, in the "cold room" at the dacha, focusing on our works. Funny that I (on the right) am faced away from the still life on the table, hmmmm.
Grandma was a master at watercolor, she made it look easy (it's not).
I visit the dacha every three years or so, one of my watercolors was in the kitchen a few years back. Here it is behind me on the table.
I have not drawn in years, and decided to give it a try, remembering grandma's words that a shaky line is much more interesting than a perfectly even one. It's a start.
