Yesterday we mentioned the recent photoshoot on our nearby beach, Bonmahon, Co. Waterford! Well mostly I would have to say I think of it more like a "Coastline" than a beach. For me a beach conjures up lovely summery imagery and lets face it the nearest our local beach gets to "summery" is slurping on a 99 ice cream cone!However, chilly coastline it may be, I have to admit there is a certain level of mystique about our beaches/coastlines and the photographer really captured some of that magic yesterday as the sun was going down! We might not be able to catch any rays on said beach too often but it sure looks nice on a postcard! :)

We recently finished a really fun collaboration with Gilbea of etsy. Gilbea makes the most beautiful silk paintings on luxurious silk and transforms her handpainted pieces into pieces of wearable art! We were very excited recently to collaborate with Gilbea and gasped when her handpainted silk piece arrived through my letterbox. It was such a treat to work with the fabric, it had such a dramatic scheme on it we wanted to create a dress that would firstly allow the fluidity of the fabric to take centre stage because it drapes so beautifully, we also wanted to add a little of our signature embellishments the dress so we decided to create an asymmetrical bias draped dress with a black velvet neck adornment complete with tulle tattered edging and satin ruffled blooms.
To see more of Gilbeas stunning silks visit http://www.gilbea.etsy.com/ or http://www.gilbea.com/
Have a nice Thursday everyone.
