My Musings of the Day

2011-01-14T12:52:00.001+11:00

Hello Glamouristas! How are we today?

I have a few pictures I want to share with you that has sparked my inner thoughts to be more curious! :)

And rightly so!!

So I'm not sure if you can notice but I'm developing an obbession for bird tattoos,

I find them so sweet and interesting.

Can you imagine if everyday your cupcakes would look like this?

How much fun does that make life?

Book Must-have! It's on my wish list!

So I've heard all the raves about Lula Magazine, I'm curious as to whether I should

get a subscription because I can't find them anywhere in Australia

Don't you just LOVE pistachio green with gold? I usually don't like brown but

it just goes beautifully in this space!

The words every man should know.

With Australia day coming up I saw this picture and thought, hmm I could really make

the Australian flag represent me with floral fabric! Make Your Own Aussie Flag!

I just really love combining whimsical art with the known.

Call me crazy but life is better when all your hangers match! I'm loving this driftwood burnt look!

So Glamouristas, a short but lovely post. Gets me thtough the day knowing there's something beautiful in everything.. well most things!

Have a lovely afternoon!

Ciao!

HELLO 2011!!

2011-01-08T18:47:00.000+11:00

Hello my dear Glamouristas! It's now 2011! I have a beautiful baby due in March! I'm so excited!! But what I'm excited about now is more beautiful pictures have circulated the web and I've caught a few! I'm more than happy to share them with you, oh have you done your resolutions yet? I have! Let's help eachother to achieve them :)

Wouldn't these shoes just make your legs look like they go for days!

Gorgeous flights of fancy tattoos.

Get organised for 2011 if you haven't already!

Coco Chanel quote is taken seriously.

Absolutely brilliant movie, had me raving for days! Completely original , riveting, makes you think and most of all Leo DiCaprio really proves again what a great actor he is and I praise Marion Cotillard for a great performance too! I love her!

Yes Darling I am! By PillowPallooza on Etsy.com

Chanel cupcakes, what more could a girl want?

A clever fella has a vision to apply names to bikes, this isn't real well not yet anyway!

I have the website for these somewhere, i'll re edit this post once i find it.

I sure do! How else are you meant to enjoy life?

Khloe Kardashian finally sets herself apart from her sisters! Doesn't it suit her?

Found on Tumblr

50th anniversary poster of my favourite film :)

If only I really saw that in real life, maybe it's photoshopped?

Simply stunning! By Sarah McNeil on Etsy.com

I hope you all started 2011 with a big bang and lots of fabulous SPARKLES!!!
Ciao Glamouristas!!

New Day, New Things

2010-12-06T11:28:00.000+11:00

Hello Glamouristas!

What a great morning it is! It has stopped raining & the sun has finally come out to play.

Speaking of play, I had so much fun sourcing these pictures that I know will please the eye!

Oh I just love Koi Fish, I hope one day that i'll have a pond for my son & I to enjoy. He'd be thrilled if he can throw something in the pond and just watch them magically move and shimmer in the sunlight, oh yes I can dream!

Could you imagine the white koi colours onto silk fabric, that would just be LUXURIOUS!

Hmm, wondering how I can replicate that...ooh I feel a project and new obsession coming on!

HOW GORGEOUS ARE THESE?! I found these at a site called www.tablefortwo.com.au

and one guy alone made over 100 macaroons, provided a witty post and beautiful pictures. Really, it has made me really want to perfect the art of macaroons and learn to make them!

AWW, does anyone remember these gorgeous baby pegagsus'? From Fantasia.

Facebook is going through the latest craze to promote the end of child abuse by changing our profile pictures to our favourite cartoons as a child, I chose sailor moon even though I wanted these guys but they're from a movie and not a consistent show.

This would be a great sign to put out the front of my house! HAHA!

from http://www.jakandjil.com/

Sea of shoes blogger, Jane Alderidge. Her bedroom! Imagine waking up to your imacculate and impressive shoe collection? Oh i know i would love waking up if my room was like this :)

"Audrey in my Tea" - I don't remember where I found this but I ABSOLUTELY love these! Great way to have some company over for tea.

There's that blue couch I've been dreaming of! Honestly this would just liven up my living room!

Life is about the simple things.

I feel so much more “pulled together” when I make the effort to just putter around my house and draw fashion, thumb through a magazine, or read a book with my dogs inside napping.

Don’t let life take away the magic of lying in the grass, daydreaming, and looking at the clouds. Don’t let obligations rob you of the joy in rocking in a rocking chair on the front porch or the delight found in enjoying a slow stroll around the neighborhood.

We only have one life. We only get one chance to raise our children. Don’t miss out on all those moments that can only be captured in the still calm of life.

I'm really looking forward to the birth of my son and raising him to be an impressionable young man who enjoys the simple things in life.

Ciao Glamouristas!

Back with a Vengence!

2010-12-03T10:11:00.000+11:00

Hello Glamouristas!

So much has happened, so I better get on with catching up on lost time with you lovely Darlings!

Isn't it funny how everything can change in a split second? All I can say is PLEASE trust your instinct, if something is wrong DON'T ignore it my darlings, it will save you alot of hurt!

Right, let's sparkle away the hurt with these LOVELY pictures that I've found recently!

I would love to either frame this or get it printed onto canvas, it'd be the perfect artwork for my Bathroom! Retrieved from www.fashiongonerogue.com

Offically in search of the perfect Yellow jacket...Honestly what better colour would make an outfit pop the way this does? Even with the most simple accessories...

retrieved from www.jakandjil.com

I would really love these hanging on my kitchen wall, i seriously have an obsession with all things BIRDS!

Retrieved from Oneclaybead on http://www.etsy.com/

My New favourite colour I even bought this colour in nailpolish & am wearing it as we speak, I've even thought hmm time to change the Black & White up a bit in my bedroom & I've decide to add this beautiful colour. Now I'm confused as to what this colour is called...Pistachio?

Zebra Mask by MATTY8080 on www.etsy.com

I just ADORE this nursery, it's so gender neutral! PERFECT!

Exactly what i'm aiming for even though i know what gender I'm having!

Retrieved from http://www.designdazzle.blogspot.com/

MACAROONS! These would be perfect sweet treats for the baby shower!

Now I just have to learn how to make them!

I'm in the process of making Baby shower invites, Xmas cards, Bib necklaces for girly presents... Oh and I will be setting up shop on Etsy.com in the new year! Look out for OliviaEmmi in the sellers list!

I'm Back!

2010-09-17T12:42:00.000+10:00

Hello Glamouristas!!!

Oh i know, i know! I've been gone for too long but boy do I have news to tell you lovely ladies (and gents if there are any reading this blog!)

So drumroll please... *imitates drumroll* This fashionista got engaged!!!! and thats's not all.. I'm also expecting a baby!!!

So there's going to be a new air happening here at M.I.L.K Glamour, you'll see more fashion but with a few drops of childrensware, nurseries and the like. With the new layout and all, I felt it was time to proceed in a different manner, don't panic! I'm still me and still think my vogues are my babies!!

My fiance and I got a bigger house, and now I'm moving and in another decorating spin, this time with a new palette mixed with my old one from my unit but more male friendly.

So think Black, White and Grey with Chartruese and Navy/Aqua accessories :) What do you think?

I will be trawling my favourite sites and buying RealLiving, Belle, InsideOut for some inspiration.

Stay tuned for the pictures and gossip I have coming your way!

'Till next time,

Ciao Glamouristas!

XOXO

It's been over a month!

2010-07-19T11:52:00.000+10:00

Hello my Glamouristas!

I'm so sorry for neglecting you! So much personal stuff was going on, I was looking for a place and then moving house... Car broke down then had to buy a new car! and so on it was just drama, drama, drama for weeks on end but mind you I still had time to duck into a newsagent and buy magazines to keep up to date with the world of fashion. So much gorgeous stuff, the resort and pre-fall collections just makes me long for spring!

I've yet to show you pictures of my unit, a mini makeover of a budget of $500! I did pretty well!!

Now, I haven't been sourcing any pictures for a while but once I get a mobile internet stick and get my laptop back from repairs you can expect that i'll be making consistent blog posts and latest trends and whatnot :)

Till next time my Glamouristas. Stay happy and well.

Ciao!

Words We Create

2010-06-10T16:14:00.000+10:00

Hello Glamouristas,

Lately I've been looking for comfort within words. I tried to get some encouragement from The Boyfriend, while I'm searching for a glimmer of hope. I failed. I knew he wasn't much of a talker but i had hoped he could say something postive instead of always being realistic and rational. In a way it makes our relationship strong because we're similar yet so different.

Some words I have here to resonate with me, I hope it does for you too and there's even some beuty in the way words are presented as art.

See how these words have an effect on your self esteem? I expected these words from The Boyfriend, but I was upset by his inability to say things like this and I had to tell him that I wanted encouragment, Men really aren't simple creatures haha, everything feels like hardwork to them. I love him so much it hurts. I'm going through a difficult time of trying to get my life back in order, It's a step by step appraoch, I'm getting happier because I'm doing what I want in the time frame that suits me. Happiness takes in many forms, try and find the things that make you happy even if it's just looking up at the stars at night or perhaps playing ball with your dog or reading vogue. Anything will do.

Ciao Glamouristas!

Inspirations for my own place

2010-06-08T14:07:00.000+10:00

Hello Glamouristas!

As you can see I'm about to make this blog more pleasing to the eye with new headers and more pretty things. I felt it was time to go to another level with my blogging relationship, unlike my relationship with The Boyfriend. Gosh who knew relationships were hard work? by far this is the 2nd longest relationship i've ever been in, so I guess kudos to me, the reformed single girl. The wild child has been tamed.

Anyhoo, onto what I want to talk to you lovelies about, the decor in my non-existant new place. I'm still trying to find somewhere to live, It's a battle and a half that's for sure. But I do enjoy going to inspections and imagining what I could do with the space if I was succesfull with my applications :) I'm quite the day dreamer.

Without further ado, here are the pictures that inspire me.

Does everyone get the gist of what I'm trying to show you? I hope so!

So it's like a mix of shabby chic with french decor, I want lots of black and white with hints of pink and also lots of mirrors. I'm thinking of doing up my bed side table in mirror mosaic, I've done it before for my HSC major work, which will feature as artwork in my new space.

Now for more pressing matters, I feel that if It's too girly The Boyfriend won't want to visit. Am I paranoid? Honestly though. Maybe if i put more black and white and less pink he'll feel more at peace? But i really shouldn't care what he thinks of my space. its exactly that. My space.. my chance to have a place exactly the way I want before I co-exist with him, before the merging of the things.

That seems more rational doesn't it?

My current bedroom is already decked out like this, imagine a whole house! It's going to be BEAUTIFUL! I cannot wait to weave my magic :)

Ciao Glamouristas!

Divine Christian Lacriox Cards from http://www.papertrailrhinebeck.com

The paper trail has so many beautiful things, I honestly wished I had a credit card just so Icould buy everything!

SO much can be found at that awesome site! Maybe my new Source?

20 reasons to be excited about Winter Fashion

2010-05-10T13:25:00.000+10:00

Hello lovelies!

The cold season is well and truly upon us but we aren't letting that stop is from getting weak in the knees for some frost bitten fashion, so! I've compiled a list of why i'm excited about winter approaching!!

1. Black Is Back On The Menu- In summer we werent able to wear black because we sweated bucketloads, now its totally acceptable to wear black and loads of it this winter

2. Bikinis Are Banished! - YAY! We can spend more of accessories and scarves not sunscreen!

3. Dressing Is No Sweat- Summer can't ruin our clothes or leave puddle marks

4. You Can Scarf It Up- Scarves are an instant style fixer you can wear the same outfit but change the scarf!

5. No Glove, No Love- remember all those sweaty hands you had to shake in summer and u wondered where thier hands had been? Well thats long gone for winter, bringing back style+leather gloves = HYGENIC!

6. Boots Are On The Up And Up- like scarves they can update your look. Oh and speaking of boots invest in a pair of Over The Knee boots so you can still wear your mini skirts from summer with stockings.. if you have big calves like mine opt for those boots that are like soks with a shoe on the end!

7. Layers Aren't For Onions- cant decide what to wear each day? Wear it all!

8. Repetition Rules, Ok?- Who cares if they've seen it all before, its comfy and warm!

9. It's Ok To Be Snow White- Banishing the Tan, alabaster skin looks better in winter than those leather looking beach bums, Haill to Dita Von Teese! Bye Tan!

10. Makeup Stays Put- Say Bye to puddles of eyeshadow and foundation, runny mascara and sticky sunscreen, winter helps the makeup stay on all day

11. Jewellery Isn't A Liability- No swollen fingers, so Bling it on!

12. It's All Fur & Clothing- Faux fur will help you release your inner ski bunny at a fraction of the price!

13.You Can Eat...And Eat- Hide that winter bulge under gorgeous coats, it'll remain your best kept secret and no one will ask you how far along you are!

14.You Can Ignore Your Toes- Say Bye to monthly Pedis and hello to new shoes or that Double shot hazelnut Cappucino

15. Knickers Are Comfortable-After a summer of trying to hide that VPL under white dresses, you can stop worrying about unless your boyrfiend has X-ray vision!

16. Tights Gie You A Leg Up- No shaving, holds you in and you can still wear your summer dress, oh black opagues if only you could change a light bulb for us, we'd marry you!

17. Bad Hair Days Be Gone!- Think jaunty berets or cute caps, bed hair is perfectly acceptable because you can hide it!

18. Men Are Men- Now they can look more normal, a far cry from boardies and wife beater singlets. Say hello to denim jeams and jumpers!

19. Feet Can Take A Load Off- bring back cosy socks, ugg boots, flats.. our long forgotten best friends!

20. Summer's Coming- Theres a reason for every season, to get us excited about the next one!

Laser Cutting

2010-05-10T12:38:00.000+10:00

Hello Lovelies!

Ever thought about laser cutting onto fabric? well its already be done and its taking the world by a storm. Think this.. apply artist Rob Ryans work to clothes.

This technique allows sharp and precise shapes to be cut out of fabric resulting in a look similiar to paper like snoflakes you made in kindy... Only way more stylish!

Ciao Lovelies!

Style Evolution: Lily Allen

2010-05-10T12:16:00.000+10:00

Hello Lovelies!

There once was a popstar who thought it was okay to wear sneakers to red carpet events. Enter a stylist armed with Chanel and we have a new and improved Lily Allen!

She certainly has come a long way since Karl Lagerfeld decided to put her in the chanel campaign, i think Karl is mentoring her on what to wear!

Ciao Lovelies!

Channeling Martha Stewart

2010-05-07T14:46:00.000+10:00

Hello Lovelies!

In the afternoons, i've been flicking through the channels on my tv and i'm always stumbling upon The Martha Stewart Show and i just adore all those beautfully arranged flowers sitting on countertops and desks on the set. So i decided to inject some flowers into the fashion :)

I've been inspired lately by weddings, fashion and Martha Stewart.

I'm not sure why, i'm not even getting married or anything but perhaps its the beauty of it all that really lifts my spirits, i even start to feel floaty and airy.

I used a spread with Kendra Spears for Vogue China the January issue 2010.

Ciao Lovelies!

GLEE for Emma Pillsbury!

2010-05-07T14:15:00.000+10:00

Hello lovelies!

I have something i must confess, i'm not a religious watcher of Glee BUT! When i do watch it, my eyes are glued and only interested in what Emma Pillsbury played by Jayma Mays, wears in the series.

I have to say that this is my favourite style of preppy :) Bright colours and florals mixed with 1950's fashion sense.

Just gorgeous!

I got all these pictures and film snapshot from the ultimate site!

http://wwepw.blogspot.com/

What Would Emma Pillsburt Do?

GENIUS!

So join me in the Glee club of Emma Pillsbury!

Ciao Lovelies!

MADONNA ditches the airbrushing!

2010-05-05T13:47:00.000+10:00

Hello lovelies!

What I found through a British newspaper website!
The soft lighting must have helped create these rather appealing shots.
But this is Madonna in all her glory, smouldering into the camera like a model half her 51 years.

She seductively tugs at her underwear, kisses a crucifix - she just can't resist, can she? - and puts on an eye-patch in her latest spread for Interview magazine.

She really looks normal in black and white, none of those dinosaur arms and seeing her stringy flesh... This really is nice and sutble for a woman like Madonna.

Me Likey!

Her long time favourite Designers Dolce and Gabbana supplied the goods for the photoshoot... Really, who better to dress Madonna than Dolce and Gabbana?

Have more pics but i thought these were enough to get the gist of it all.

Ciao Lovelies!

xoxo

COVET THESE!!

2010-05-05T13:26:00.000+10:00

Hello Lovelies!

I just came across the BIGGEST bottles of Chanel Perfume! Aren't they just divine? Really would make a beautiful stand-alone piece in my living room or as a pair... gosh i love all these ads and editorials with massively gorgeous perfume bottles. Doesn't it make you want one too?

oh my!

Model of an Amazing Lineage: Dree Hemingway

2010-05-05T13:19:00.000+10:00

Hello Lovelies!

The word legacy comes to mind when one hears Dree Hemingway's name. It's Dree Hemingway for short, Dree Louise Hemingway Crisman for long, fashion model and daughter of Mariel Hemingway and Stephen Crisman, and the great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway.

IMG may have Kori-Richardson look-alike Taylor Momsen, but Elite just signed Dree Hemingway, She joins the Elite+ board, which also houses other well-familied models like Lydia Hearst, Vanessa Traina, Poppy Delevigne, and Riley Keough, and also has a couple of upcoming movie roles in the bag.

Coming from such legendary American stock, it is perhaps of little surprise that Dree Hemingway is also making a name for herself. I love how fresh-faced she is, and one might think she looks ordinary but she works around that and makes her look unique. She sure is talented when it come to editorals, she photgraphs beautifully!

Do you all agree?

Ciao Lovelies!
