Pinterest Picks #5
With the summer that almost-never-was on it's way out in a few short weeks, it's onwards to crisp mornings, early dusks and clutched chests...

*Quite* the hot topic!
It's been a preeeetty busy start to the year for us!
We feel very much that the spirit of the Chinese year of the Water Dragon is well and truly upon us with plenty of changes afoot and good tidings abounding.
We have received some lovely press this year so far...
If you happened to be catching a train in Sydney on Friday January 27th, you would no doubt have noticed this splashed over the cover of daily rag MX's front cover:
Our resident model Gab Dillon - as dressed and styled by our head designer Rabia Lockwood - haughtily sipping her drinks at Gardel's Bar in Surry Hills.
Grab yourselves a copy if you're passing a newsstand!

Our big thanks go out to Sarah from Gardel's/Porteno for so kindly letting us use her space out of business hours and for fussing with that vase of roses for us!
We were also super chuffed to be featured in the Etsy Finds daily international mailout:
We quite like an explosion of colour ourselves, so this inclusion seemed entirely appropriate!

And then in the March 2012 edition of our favourite monthly catalogue of affordable sartorial gems - Shop Til You Drop - our gorgeous Garden Party brooch is used to celebrate the glamorous style synonymous with the 1940s.
And yes, we agree that this would just go down a treat with a Miu Miu dress!

Trophies
We were never known for our sporting prowess as school students - in fact we were better known for volunteering to hold up the volleyball net, or walking on the bottom of the pool when one should have been swimming (ahem!). As such, we have never before received a trophy...I believe there may have been a third place ribbon in there somewhere, but a trophy? Never!
This weekend just past we were privileged enough to be one of 11 emerging designers in Australia and New Zealand chosen to take part in the 'Debut' section of the bi-annual Fashion Exposed apparel, accessories and shoes trade fair in Sydney.
"Debut, run as part of the Fashion Exposed trade fair, has been a launch pad for over 135 young Australian labels since its inception in 2006, with past winners including now established brands Alexi Freeman, Limedrop, Trimapee, Subfusco, Holly Chalmers and Since Grey."
We were so pleased to meet all the amazingly talented young designers from the beautiful labels involved in this - Sanoii + Six, Neo Dia, Kelsey Genner, Brkich, Jeromy Lim to name a few.
And we were even more thrilled to be named best new Accessories designer for 2012!
The super lovely Belinda Crossley from Brkich was named best new Apparel label for 2012.
We wiled away the hours chatting about the biz, fiddling with our iPhones, playing Uno and drinking the champagne the French had so kindly laid on in the stalls not far from ours. Yep, we actually had quite a splendid three days!
And the trophy? Currently, it has pride of place on top of our piano.

Yes, a trophy. An actual trophy!
Cute, non? Amazing prints, even more amazing designs.

Pinterest Picks #4 (and HAPPY new year!)
Hello summer! This morning with the perfect dusting of ever-so-high cloud, Sydney put on a sterling summers day for us.
After our new years sojourn in the achingly picturesque Tasmania, a fresh new diary to make lists in and a fresh set of curtains on the french doors, we feel renewed and ready for the new year.
In the spirit of new beginnings, find our favourites from the Ginny & Jude Pinterest boards this week...
Our one and only new years resolution is to drink more champagne!
And yours?

We, of course, will be launching our new Paper Hearts collection - which we are super happy about - and there are a number of other lovely bits and pieces we suggest you check out...
If we go off the amazing outfits she has fashioned for herself over at her delightful blog then I am expecting some very cute vintage inspired designs from this talented lass.
For quality, quirky kids wear you can't beat the cute designs of the lovely Mia and her label The Raisin Did It. Great vintage and new fabrics and sweet simple designs.
This sydney-based ceramicist is terrifically talented. I have bought many pieces from her over the years - a berry colander, serving dishes, butter dish etc. - but what I'm really coveting is one of these gorgeous teapots...
The go-to stall for sweet little Christmas gifts for all and sundry. I intend to add to my modest collection of their hand-carved spoons again this year!
Good colours, nifty designs...what else can I say?!
She designed the current flyer for the Finders Keepers and every one of her delicate watercolour images is just as beautiful. Trying to choose a favourite...
Perhaps it's time to invest in a new piece of swimwear?! Classic shapes in classic fabrics from Sirens Swimwear.
I have been mulling over a pair of exquisite The Horse shoes for some time - I fall down once I have to make a choice. I reccomend you all mull over the same decision.
An obvious choice, no? So much to choose from, I'm already fretting about what headpiece/outfit combination to wear...
see you there!

Photoshoot - in the can!
On this Sunday just past, we bunkered down at Sun Studios in Alexandria to shoot our latest - and very soon to be released - collection p a p e r h e a r t s. The weather mattered not for a change (hurrah! As it rained on and off for most of the morning!) and we all cruised through the day to an odd-ball collection of jazz and hula music on our portable record player.
We had some splendid people at our disposal helping make everything possible, so our warmest and most thankful wishes are extended to:
The incredibly patient and talented Lyndal Irons (our resident photographer - we simply won't shoot without her!)...her ability to re-create the specific ideas we have in our heads is phenomenal!
For the first time we were joined by the spectacularly skilled hands of hair and make-up artist extraordinaire Tania Bowers. Victory rolls, porcelain skin and a cheeky pout - I think you'll all agree the results speak for themselves!
And lastly but certainly never least, our beautiful bombshell of a model; Gabrielle Dillon. Her quirky sense of humour added that crucial joie de vivre to every shot.
