Inspired by LFW!!

After reading THE DAILY today we couldn't wait to let you know about some inspirations from London Fashion Week. We love Mary Katrantzou who showed how rooms from different eras could be worn as garments. Curtain pelmets formed rigid shoulder lines, draped curtains moulded around bodices and lampshades became skirts... What a whimsical display!!!

Amazing wedding blog!!

Sorry we have not been blogging recently. We have been very busy running around doing other things and getting samples ready for our photo shoot. Also i have been a little sidetracked by wedding moodboards and planning... having got engaged in July!!! We are just at ideas stage at the moment and I'm very much treating it as a branding exercise?? The style me pretty wedding blog is really inspiring me at the moment, not only for wedding ideas but for photography, styling and design. http://www.stylemepretty.com/

Vogue - The September Issue

A muted and beautiful shoot celebrating the woman!!!
Curves, cardigans and the bardot.....

Eat, Pray, Love - So excited!!!

We have only just finished this book- yes I know just a bit behind...!! The film comes out at the end of September and we simply cant wait. Even the trailer gets us emotional and warms the heart!! If you have not read the book, buy it now!! Its hopeful, inspirational and most importantly displays one woman's journey to find herself and not settle for anything less - Perfect!! Here is one of our favourite quotes from the book - "We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses- one foot is the horse called 'fate,' the other on the horse called 'free will.' And the question you have to ask every day is - which horse is which? Which horse do i need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do i need to steer with concentrated effort?"

Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic - New York

On a recent trip to America we came across this beautiful store in New York. Rachel Ashwell best known for the Shabby Chic book has beautiful stores in New York, LA and London. We spent hours roaming this store, feeling inspired and indulgent in the space. We were so tempted to snuggle up on the huge beds and pillows with a good book!! We also loved the chandeliers hanging over cupboard doors - who said they should be hung from the ceiling.

Lessons in Happiness.....

We love this article from August's Easy Living Magazine. Regina Brett writes in Lesson 2 about 'burning your candles' so true, they are not just there to look pretty. Happy reading...

Boudique is born

For anyone who knows me or has heard about the big plans for Boudique, knows the journey has not been easy. Being full of ideas, emotion and constant inspiration does not make a concise business plan. Boudique has been a long time in the planning/thinking but thanks to a dear friend and super talented lady, the brand is about to flourish into its true vision (Sorry her identity is a mystery for now).

Boudique is a truly feminine inspired concept, indulge in our sensual world and feel beautiful, hopeful and inspired. Our emotion is collectable and vintage, evoking a true sense of luxury and indulgence. An emporium of beautiful possessions, thoughts and feelings.

Boud / Boudoir - A woman's private sitting room, dressing room, or bedroom.
Ique / Boutique - A small business/shop offering specialised products and services.

We are soon to launch our capsule lingerie/loungewear range for SS11 using beautiful fine silks with sizes ranging from A to H, so all women can enjoy the full collection. Soon after the launch we will start our treasure hunt to bring you the most unique, collectable and inspired pieces for your boudoir from candles, silk throws to books/journals and inspiring art and photography, perfect for self indulgence or well thought gifts.

We invite you to escape into our world, we are not just another shopping experience, we are soulful and we endeavor to engage, connect and inspire women to be true to themselves.
