Boyish Charm :: New design for fall/winter

I LOVE androgynous fashions... I don't know why. It must stem from my younger tomboy days when my dad used to pick my outfits for grade school (often boys clothes). Nowadays, I find that there's just something about a little bit masculine meets feminine... so sexy! I created a fun new ribbon scarf/tie for the Etsy shop and I have lots more lovely ribbon to whip some more up later this week. It is super unfussy and has a snap closure so you can whip it on or take it off without having to mess around with tying anything. Great for accenting your fall and winter outfits. And gingham print, come on!:

Super cheap, cheap too! View this design HERE.

Bright & Colourful

It seems I am loving lots of orange lately as noticeable in the shop at the moment. I took this photo this afternoon of our front room at Black & Spiro. There is so much colour in there right now which I love...colour makes me so happy!! Unfortunately this photo isn't the best so make sure you drop into the shop to have a look as it really is looking lovely. Oh, and next week we will be receiving 32 beautiful Black & Spiro cushions in for the shop from our cushion maker in lots of gorgeous mismatched fabrics {including a few vintage fabrics}...perfect for a special Christmas gift!!
