Flora: Life Cycle

 In a parallel universe I am not a creative type.
I go to work accordingly.
But do no more.
I vacuum politely on Saturday mornings.
Then do my laundry.
I do not spend my time despairing about thread, fibres, dye stains, and piles of
'I might just use that'.
Taking up space.




 I do not place things 'in-situ' and then try to
work out for the next day or two, what else to do?

Luckily, these thought are fleeting because Flora's had more press.
A nod. Positive affirmation.
Another shoot, thank you.
In Brisbane's Q Weekend fashion editorial.
A kindred spirit's stylish eye was caught on a piece of frippery at The Hat Box.
Brisbane's supplier of the loveliest objet d'art in tonsure fashion only.
It's a lovely little veiled velvet rose.

Here's the piece in editorial splendour.


 Stay enthused.

    1. Thank you, SSG, I am certainly not ready to quit the day job for sales of frippery, but do love it when the stylists pick the pieces out for a shoot. :D x

  2. Hello Flora,

    Well, this little black velvety, rosy, veiled number looks absolutely charming. Just the right balance of prettiness and mystery. Surely this is what every woman of substance needs to be wearing this season.

    Wonderful advertisement for you. The photographs look lovely.
