an exchange

I received my package!

I recently participated in Oh, Hello Friend's Lovely Package Exchange and was thrilled to recently receive my package from Caroline, a photographer based out of Cambridge, UK. The package exchange was pretty simple and straight forward. You were given a partner from whoever signed up from all over the world and within a month, you had to put together a package of goodies...anything really handmade, I'd say...and link up with your partner to finish up the exchange. My package exchange buddy, Caroline is amazing! Her photos are truly incredible. Below you will see a postcard that was given to me of Yoshitomo Nara along with so many other goodies. I'm very pleased to say that Caroline was right on with guessing my taste in things...I had a bunch of goodies in my package that she had put together along with some incredible photo prints. Once I frame them, I will take photos and make sure to post them. I'm very grateful to be able to participate in this package exchange. I'm looking forward to do it again very soon.

a touch of glamour

Big hairpieces aren't just for runways anymore. They are being seen everywhere. From the streets of London, New York, Los Angeles and now even used as car-sages to add a little bit of a feminine touch inside your ride. One particular designer, Johnny Loves Rosie based out of the UK has one solid aim, to create accessories to love. Accessories were a big hit of the Fall runways in 2008 and are continuing to be seen throughout summer worn as hair pieces, added to wardrobe for just a cute extra touch of femininity. Choose from thirties and forties inspired hair clips, handbags and crystal accessories. Like mentioned earlier, Johnny Loves Rosie also is starting to carry your own car-sage! Recently teaming up with UK's Vauxhall Agila to create the very first car-sage, a giant flower accessory solely dedicated to put in your car. For those who are getting married, these accessories are a great to pair up with bridal wear. To name just a few celebrities that have a slight girl crush on Johnny Loves Rosie are Sarah Jessica Parker, Leona Lewis, Tamara Mellon and Pixie Geldolf. Finally, in such a budget concsious economy, accessories fit right in! Check out the rest here: www.johnnylovesrosie.co.uk
