Chocolates & Truffleducks - An Enchanting Day Out with Miss Mienna

As many of you are already know, I've had the privilege of working with the lovely Lainie Brookman behind Miss Mienna for some time now, creating matching accessories for her adorable children's clothing range.

Recently, Lainie, while organising her first photo shoot, requested I make up some new deigns to go with her new collection. I, of course, said 'Yes'!

Now almost 2 months later its about time I share a few of the many beautiful shots that were taken on the day, thanks to the talented Louisa from Louisa Jones Photography, as well as give you a little sneak peek at some of the many gorgeous new accessories coming soon...

Enjoy!

We're all set to go!

A few light refreshments...

... and a cupcake or two.

How about a dance??

Or strike a pose?

Let's just hold hands.

Then we say good-bye. {Detail of 'Eiffel' Lace Button and 'Parisian Chic' Triple Bow Hair Clips}

A moment later an enchanting flower girl appears, complete
with lace parasol & freshwater pearl bracelet.

And two more...

Why, even the littlest of flower girls wears a feathered hair piece... {Detail of 'Cherie' Ruffled Organza headpiece}

"How do like like my bracelet?" One of them asks "I had it specially made for the occasion."

Then there just enough time for a little rest...

.... before it's time to go home... THE END.

Kids Style Hub meets Indie Lane

Life is unpredictable. I well know that. Sometimes things happen that turn your whole world upside down and make you wonder if you'll ever get back on your feet again. Yep, been there many times.

And then sometimes things happen that truly renews your strength and will to go on just when you need it the most.

Incredibly, I've experienced both of these moments already this year, and although I can't recommend having your life turned upside down by a freak storm, I am now in some ways thankful that I did experience it, for I may not as fully appreciated what followed if I hadn't...

What do I mean? Well, a few weeks ago I was invited to include my creations in a professional photo shoot with the talented Donna from Indie Lane photography. Little did I know at the time just how much I needed this opportunity, a break from the seemly never ending task of sorting through mess. Suddenly there was something positive for me to work towards, a chance to turn my hands to creating again, a chance to restart the year on a more positive note.

Doing the photo shoot with Indi Lane and along with a few of the lovely designers at Kids Style Hub was just what I needed at that particular moment to remind myself that although my whole world might occasionally be turned upside down by unforeseen circumstances, that eventually it will turn right way up again. A little reminder I very much needed at the time... (Thank you again Nicole & Donna!)

So, here's to restarting the year on a better note!

Now for some photos, and a little sneak preview of a few new creations coming soon...
