COUNTRY WEDDING // INSPIRATION

I’ve never been a big girlie wedding fuss type of a girl, and never fancied the idea of a sit down meal and the usual style. My older sister has recently got engaged, on her 30th birthday in Florida, what more could you want. She seems over the moon, and lets say we did not expect it in the slightest. Still the same old story from my self and my little sister. I am getting a little bit excited about the whole thing, and I am more than happy to be last one out of my sisters and I. Means, i get to learn and when it’s my time it should hopefully be done like a waving a magic wand. I am fantasy type of girl, i love having fun and i can’t be doing with anything serious. It’s not me. I like the idea of a bouncy castle and a big party on the family farm. So, here’s some inspirations to get me started on some ideas.

Frida Giannini for Gucci - Resort Spring 2013

It's all about the floral prints. The resort Spring 2013 collections are showing some inspiring prints and Patternbank love Frida Giannini’s collection for Gucci, Garden Crop for more floral inspiration. These beautiful hand drawn florals that appeared on everything from a floor-length burgundy gowns to a white linen peacoat, looked striking on their solid colour backgrounds. In fact the Flora print was used in her debut collection of accessories for the house in 1997 to decorate various garments.

VALENTINES // INSPIRATIONS


Most people who know me, know that i am a total Valentine Scrooge. Never Liked it and never thought the point of it. I have always felt that it is a day that we are pressured to do, and get a disappointment if we don’t get what we want. After all i should know, Valentines had always been unlucky for me. I have always had top presents from people who I haven’t dated, how i managed that I have no idea, and yet the people I have been for this occasion, have seriously let me down on a number of occasions. It’s sucks, the whole thing is a waste of money, silly commercial day in my opinion  Prices go up and everywhere is packed, no thank you. Would much rather be at home playing a game of little big planet, or having a film // take away in my own space.
I may be a big moody scrooge but i do have a little bit of a romantic side and  I have managed to put together a little inspiration of the Valentines theme. Some of these items are actually quite nice and may have to invest in some of them. Just a shame i don’t know where they come from, might be a good thing actually as I am desperately trying not to spend.  The amount of stuff i have in my bedroom would be enough to fill a house – minus all of the furniture.
