World Cup mania is over, and Paul the octopus is finally getting some well-deserved rest.
But did you know that we have our very own psychic octopus in Australia? Cassandra, the genius cephalopod, has already picked Gillard as the winner of the upcoming Federal election... and if what she's wearing is any indication, she's CLEARLY made her choice for the best online accessories store!
All decked out in Dress Me Pretty goodies, what a very clever octopus indeed ;D
That would have to be Collette Dinnigan's 2010 bridal collection.
Taking inspiration from the classic tales of happily ever after, Collette Dinnigan's new "Snow White" bridal collection is a modern interpretation of timeless design delicately interwoven with couture craftsmanship.
This would have to be one of Dinnigan's sweetest collections yet. With intricate hand-beading and jewel details married with French laces, silk tulles and chiffons - these pretty creations are sure to awaken the childhood dreams of brides-to-be.
Definitely a collection for the romantics.
Our favorities - French Cotton Lace strapless dress and Crystal Flowers Strapless Applique Bodice gown. Simply beautiful!
Ange blogged a couple of weeks ago on Sugar Occasions that at she was going to attempt to make a multi-coloured rainbow lollipop cake - well here it is.
In the making (click play…so appropriate for this post I think)
Melting white chocolate (cake flavour) and pretty rainbow-coloured batter all lined up in a row.
Layering the batter (note all the Fitness First class tables in the background. If you eat this much cake...you're going to have to work out)
The final result ta-da!
The inside. It reminds me of Rainbow Paddlepop Lions.
Tiffany approves. She also reads Bride to Be Cakes in her spare time.
This cake took...
3 days (1 day for baking, 1 day for ganaching, 1 day for decorating)
6 different cupcake batter colours (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple)
and 7 great Lollipop songs:
Aqua - Lollipop
Lil Wayne - Lollipop
Mika - Lollipop
Ghetto E - Lollipops
The Chaordettes - Lollipop
Leslie Gore - Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbow
Millie Small - My Boy Lollipop
Gracie & photographer Sylvia Kim went along to the Hongdae Free Markets last weekend to shoot for the upcoming August Fashion Column for 10 Magazine. The market is called a "free" market (not flea market) because it showcases a collection of original works by aspiring designers and artists. Anyone with talent can set up a stall in the park, and the little area is packed full with uni students, locals and tourists.
The rain held out long enough for us to get our shots!
Some of my finds :)
Browsing is the best part :)
Artworks and caricatures:
LOVE these! Recycled fashion made from bottle caps and keyboards... too cute!
