mini roses for my beau...even if your a cynic you can't deny the joy it brings. I saw a young boy riding his bike down the street this morning struggling to see over a huge bunch of roses - I will be smiling for the rest of the day!

NY Fashion week
...is all over now (weve moved onto London FW) but oh, what a fab Aussie line up...Sass & Bide, Kit Willow, Josh Goot, Camilla & Marc and one of my absolute fave's Jason Brunson who does devine evening wear. That black floor length creation is devine and I'm really in love with the print dresses pictured to . The following blogs have some great feedback on the whole of NY fashion week:

Rescued by Bowerbird Dresses
We are in the process of releasing a little range of dresses by bowerbird under the Rescued by Bowerbird label. They are made from gorgeous vintage fabrics that I've been collecting over the years or vintage inspired fabric that I have fallen in love with in my travels. Made from authenic vintage patterns - particualrly 1950's sundresses of which I am especially fond of! The silver dress above is probably my fave...made from a striking vintage lame fabric designed specifically for evening wear - the cutsey sundress pattern really gives it a modern/quirky twist! I think it's the ultimate cocktail frock.
You can see the difference fabric choices make. We made exactly the same dress in a beautiful bold red and navy print that just has "summers day" written all over it.
