…or add some color part II: With bespoke wedding shoes.
(ha that kinda sounds like a pretty cheap radio ad or something)
But Liv is serious.Some of Hetty Roses bespoke and handmade shoedesigns
a kicking ass bridal shoes.
Handmade out of japanese kimono fabric, if you want to add some color.
Or the lace up petal shoe. Even in pink metallic and the lace detail on the heel
this style still seems really cool to me.
Check out Hetty Roses website for more information.
Did I just say I am desparate for some sunshine? The latest collection of Dinosaur is inspired by the SUN.
All this powerful yellow, orange and red shades combined with gold are instantly getting me into summer mood.
Liv loves that the collection is presented on the naked body ; )
(Go,go,go away endless German snowy winter, please, Liv is a summergirl!)
I recently found a lot colorful designs that would match perfectly with a white dress and could be worn again and again.
My first “add some color post” is about the Sydney based jewelry/homeware design company Dinosaur.
The Team consists of Louise Olsen, Stephen Ormandy and Liane Rossler. They have managed to intersect the boundaries between art, craft, design, fashion and business without pause, and have applied the same creative energy and focused vision to each new opportunity. The Dinosaurs have forged an important place for themselves within Australian design history, not only through their longevity and popularity but also through the distinctively Australian character of their work, with many of the colours and forms they use evoking the casual lifestyle and vibrant natural landscape of Australia. -Brian Parkes Curator, Object Gallery
They also care about the environment in different ways, so you can be sure you’ll support sustainable designs.
still inspired by the wonderful tree photograph I put together a
forest inspired (wedding-) mood board. (yeah I know this is not art! )
You know already that Liv and Lav are living in a imaginery treehouse
far up in the Positivity Tree? And we are close to finally living together in London!
But back to the topic: Treeeeees.
And forest wedding- and home inspiration.
I am sure this bed (via anthropologie) with bedding (via can’t remember) like above could give you the full treehouse feeling, even in the city.
We had forest jewelry already here and I recently saw a few great pieces for men and women here at DEANNA COCHRAN
Dresses theLELALAMBone and theLALAone would be great for a forest wedding. Find out more here.

this comment of my dear Lady WestAussieWedding was killing me:
(…)It’s hotting up for Christmas here.. We usually eat a lot of seafood and fruit and go to the beach and watch the cricket.(…)
Fruit? Beach? WTF? Christmas on the beach. From now on I really should design beach wedding dresses and rad swimwear only and MOVE my butt.
Right now Liv can only dream, and get you some beach wedding inspiration.
The Sea Of Change collection by jewelry designer DEANNA COCHRAN would be stunning to wear as a beach bride.
Its all ethical jewelry and the pieces shown above are just one of a kind. Check it out here.

Liv is back to full draping fun in the studio, beginning work on the toiles and sketches for the next collection.
Don’t get to excited just yet, there won’t be any unveiling until the time for the official launch of the new collection, which will still be quite a long time away…
But I promise to keep you up to date in the process though, with sketches,
first drapes and moodboards.
One new dress available on request would be this one :
I made it for myself one day in black to wear during Fashion Week,
and got so much great feedback on this one, you can now order it in white as a wedding dress.
This is a cocktail/bridesmaid dress I created for a friend, its funny to see her in a fancy dress, because she is normally a complete tomboy.
I am totally turned on right now by an old painting of Amor and Psyche.
But dont worry, the dresses wont be in old fashioned kitschy angelic stylings of course.
The painting is an inspiration, and that will translate for Global Season 2011.
Just to give you an idea of the theme for the new collection.
POLL:
Question for you, do you like to read more about the design process and Blushless related things?

Aren’t these shoes hot?
They are designed by Nina Dolcetti and handmade in a small family run factory in East London!
Aware of waste within the fashion industry and the environmentally unfriendly effects of leather tanning, Nina Dolcetti shoes are designed and constructed to reuse off-cuts and unwanted pre-consumer waste to create daring, architectural and design led pieces that are as avant garde as they are elegant.

…at LONDON FASHION WEEK.
I had a fabulous Monday afternoon, watching the catwalk show of Enamore.
Drinking vodka martini for lunch while watching a burlesque dancing performance all made for a really enjoyable show.
All the girls were great dancers and the looked amazing.
The vintage inspired designs really took Liv far away, back into artistic burlesque shows of the 1920´s.
The designer Jennifer however is really forward thinking, only working with sustainable fabrics and producing everything locally.
Her Bridal Lingerie is lovely. It was great to meet her.
Liv is already a fan of the

from St. Erasmus Jewelry.
I AM COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH HIS CREATIONS!
ST•ERASMUS has cultivated a style which
combines traditional techniques with contemporary forms and materials.
The current collection is a beautiful concoction of oxidised silver chain, gold and black crocheted thread and glittering Swarovski crystal.
Extremly sparkly, bold, combinig gold and silver, unique, tradtional&futuristic:
Its for sure the jewelry I would wear on my wedding day. Uhm, actually I would wear it every day.

I have a pretty awesome GIVEAWAY for you this month:
I discovered SNOWBERRY the natural skincare from New Zealand,
during Berlin Fashion Week. We exhibited at the same green, luxury trade show. Thats how Liv got some great samples of their products. Their Eye Serum is really helpful against Livs puffy eyes in the morning. I was happy to win them as a Blog Sponsor, especially as I like the philosophy of the company:
They do not test on animals; and Snowberry is a certified carbon-neutral enterprise by CarboNZero™ because they accept our responsibility to future generations.
Snowberry Founder, Cosmetician Soraya Hendesi’s lifelong fascination with ‘natural beauty’ and her frustration in being unable to find skincare that she felt she could trust, prompted her to begin the demanding but exciting process of creating her own range.
Snowberry, she says, is ‘authentic skincare’ that women can trust to be both safe and effective, because that is what she wanted for herself, her family and her friends. Find out more here.

…you can save money on the seating…
Aren’t these stunning? So so so freakin beautiful!
I recommend buying great fashion when it comes to your wedding dress, and the grooms suit and most definitely on stunning new (!) shoes for your wedding but you can save money on things like decorations that you can easily do simply but beautifully.
Even if I were a millionaire, I would always go for these rad old chairs.
Get excited…next week I will post a give-away….more soon.

Unchain My Heart is the name of my favortite jewelry collection by sidvintage.
This looks really wild! Wanna have it all! Wear it naked…ok, got side tracked….
Nancy Bennett has a solid background in the arts, worked as production designer for video and commercials, and is now handcrafting amazing
jewelry inspired by remnants, histories and old stories.
Liv loves jewelry…and most of the time I am wearing loads!
When I was little my mum was a jewelry designer, and so
Liv was the only kid in primary school that had rings on all fingers, a nose piercing (my mum had to try it on someone)
and tons of jewelry.
I got so used to it, that today I feel naked without,
and most of the time even wear it during nighttime.
That’s the reality.
