Moved!

Hello followers and friends,

In the past few months it has been so quiet around here and oh so busy on my Tumblr.
So I thought I would let everyone know that, pretty much, feather fleurette has moved.

I'm not shutting this down, if I ever need space to write/ outfit post I will put a link on Tumblr to here for some ol' time feather fleurette goodness.

See you on tumblr!

autumnals

My favourite season has arrived!
Autumn really is the most lovely season. In Sydney, autumn means brown falling leaves, a chill in the air and warm sun to lie in with friends.

A couple of weeks ago I got to visit the beautiful Gilly, owner of website sowsew.com, a beautiful site where you can buy second- hand Australian and New Zealand designer pieces for a great price. I got to play dress ups with some of the pieces on the site, and here are the results! I am very awkward in front of the camera but I had such a great time parading around in these wonderful creations. I'm also glad that I can finally show you an outfit post, too. Thanks so much for the photos, Chloe. Click on the photos if you want to see them larger.

Secret Squirrel's

'A r t C l a s s '
a/w 2012

collection is beautiful. From the colour palette (pale greys, whites, peaches, navy, reds) to the digital prints (folklore triangles and sequins), mark me down as completely smitten.
Secret Squirrel has always been one of my favourite labels and this collection is a beautiful natural progression from their past ranges. They just keep on getting better and better! I can't wait to get my hands on a few of these pieces- I know they will become staples in my wardrobe.
I'll let the collection speak for itself- take a look! x

Last week I visited Gilly at the lovely sowsew.com studio to browse and play dress ups.
sowsew.com is a great consignment website filled with great pieces from Australian and international designers, I highly reccomend heading over there if you are looking for a cute-looking bargain!
Gilly's apartment was so beautiful with high ceilings, dark wooden floors and huge white windows! I took a couple of pictures of her house and the studio so you can see how beautiful they are! I got to try on a few of the lovely pieces- coming up in the next few posts!

Check out this absolutely beautiful short video for Secret Squirrels' Winter 12 collection, Art Class.
This has to be my favourite Secret Squirrel collection (and that's a lot coming from me- Ive been obsessed with them ALL!)
I'll post the whole collection when it is officially online, but now just dream and drool.
I know I will... x

A preview...

A little preview for an exciting upcoming post.
Stay tuned!

Hello All!
Sorry things have been so quiet lately, I've been enjoying summer and not knowing what to post! Things over on my tumblr are very busy though, so if it's ever quiet here, move over there.

Anyway, I was so excited when I saw Lover's new collection 'Lydia' online that I had to post it here!
You may have already seen images floating around, but I think this collection is truly lovely.
The southern hemisphere collection is so perfect for the Australian winter, with those lilac, cream and raspberry tones.
My favourites include the black and white checked dress and skirt (so 60s!), the cream leather skirt and the black long sleeved party dress.


au revoir

geisha

G e i s h a

I bought these incredible shoes in Chinatown about a week ago. They remind me of all of the shoes in my favourite Japanese magazine, 'PopTeen' which I blogged about ages ago here. So glad they are finally mine! I wore them out last night and felt like a geisha, but I didn't fall over so I'm rather proud. I think they will look super cute with socks too like this!

summer!

Today is the first day of summer!

The weather has been crazy here in Sydney, one day cold, one day warm so I haven't been able to fully get into the summer spirit yet, but i'm hoping these pictures will let me!
Last week I went on a lovely little summer trip with my friends, and that was so lovely. I'll post pictures here soon. Now that i've finished uni expect more regular blogging too- thank you so much for putting up with my pathetic, irregular blogging of late!

This summer I plan to wear 1950's dresses and bathing suits; APC sandals; cat-eye sunglassess and glitter nailpolish. It's going to be great.

Make believe outfits

To make up for my terrible blogging of late (it's final exam time, sorry) I have decided to create a few collages of dream spring outfits. For me, spring always means light pastels such as lilac (love!) or peach. I think that these outfits would be probable be too warm for Sydney's spring, but hey it's make believe land where I can afford Sretsis and Alexander Wang. Anything goes! I have also been really inspired by Elke Kramer's incredible new collection that is based on sea amoebas and anemones. She is a truly talented lady!Outfit 2. Dress- Secret Squirrel, Shoes- Acne, Necklace- Madewell


Outfit 3. Dress- Charles Anaste, shoes- Madewell, necklace- Madewell, Bracelet- ELKE


Outfit 4. Shirt- Alexander Wang, shorts- Sretsis, clogs- Funkis, Necklace- Tiffany and Co.

Outfit 1 + 2 are every day outfits that I would wear to uni or around town. I really love the digital print of the Secret Squirrel dress, so beautiful! I also love the cashmere Acne sweater...that's one of those 'one day I am definitely going to make the investment' things. The Sretsis clothes are incredible too, perfect for spring!
Au Revoir!

p.s. If it is every quiet around here, check my tumblr because I can't stay away from blogging for long. I've been Tumblr-ing like crazy since I've been away from here

halloween

I love H A L L O W E E N
Ever since I was one of the few trick-or-treating children in my neighbourhood, I wished that I lived in America where halloween was a bigger deal.
I remember the evil adults who slammed their doors in our little child faces claiming 'halloween is AMERICAN' well you know what evil adults? It's also great.
Just look at these photo's! Hopefully this year I can get all dressed up and have a proper halloween. If not, im sure these photos will quench my halloween appetite!

au revoir

NYC!

N Y C !
Here is my photo diary of NYC! This again, is pre-amazing camera so the picture quality isn't too great but hopefully you can see how much fun it was. I especially loved Grand Central Station (we forgot the camera that day...trust), Central Park, Bryant Park (all the parks, really) and The Museum Of Natural History (and planetarium)
The picture below is my brother...he looks so much like a prehistoric turtle it's a little creepy. I was super elusive in all the photos as well, but I'm in two of them here...spot the me!

au revoir!
