Originating from 18th Century France after a nearly 70 year long ban on the production and importation on cotton, Toile de Jouy was created by textile worker Christophe-Phillipe Oberkampf and designer Jean Baptiste Huet.

It’s nice to every once and a while add a fresh colour into your wardrobe that you don’t have much of already… for me, the colour that features the least is tones of orange. The only other dress I have in a coral, or anything close to orange […]
Growing up as a child, blue was always my favourite colour- I wore it whenever I had the chance and always dreamt of painting my bedroom wall blue. In recent years, I’ve discovered that I love ALL THE COLOURS and wear anything I think I can get away […]

Starlet Fever is a relatively new Australian designer, featuring lots of curve hugging wiggle dresses, bright colours and feminine prints. The Wilhelmina Gown in Ivory Print screams 60s glamour and I imagined it with a scarf and gloves on the streets of Paris. France is a long way to travel […]
