♡ Madame Rococo Photos

♡ It feels so long since my last post! 
At the moment I am pretty busy at revising for exams, so the making for La Petite Fille has slowed down, but it will soon be back on track when all the exams are finished :D
I always wanted to take a proper photoshoot with the Madame Rococo skirt, but sadly the model is not available yet.......

But nevermind, will find someone else soon ^^

There are so many projects I want to do for La Petite Fille, more headdresses and earrings collection, they will be great for summer coordinations~

Don't forget to check out La Petite Fille's official Website! More products will be adding on very soon ^^ : www.lapetitefille.co.uk 

The Madame Rococo re-release will be schedule in end of June - Early July, so stay tune on LPF facebook page for more information later on!  




Ah, do you see my new shoes? They are from Dreamv, I will do a mini review of them later ^^

♡ Madame Rococo skirt

♡ Its been a long time since i last wrote a blog post, i wish i had 48 hours a day so i can just keep sewing everyday.
There are lots of new designs on their way, hopefully everything will go smoothly after exam period. (Whisper mode: Hats, hair accessories and a little collection of earrings! ahhhh) 

Anyway, the Madame Rococo skirts were sold out in just three days, i am very pleased and will soon be re-releasing it in summer time. 

Many people asked for a JSK design for it as well so i will be designing it and get some more fabrics printed. But sewing 3 skirts in one week is a complete maximum of what i can do >< it feels a bit boring after you kept repeating doing the same process. 



There are so many things to do for my website and with other works alongside too.....

Just want to finish my exams and concentrate on LPF. 

Also, please check out my friend's blog! I have done a mini interview for their blog and will soon releasing soon!

♡ Classic print

♡ New classic print from La Petite Fille is coming soon in store!
This print has all the hand drawn pieces by myself from the previous products from LPF, such as the Gisele Dress~
Personally i m happy with the colour scheme and the quality of the print has turned out really well on the cotton fabric. 
Here is a design illustration of the two products that will be made with this new print:


I also think the new LPF logo looks very nice, might possibly print the new clothing labels in this style as well. 

I am very exciting to do the makeup bags and coin purses as i think it's always nice to have a pinky pinky make up bag to put everything in, and the print matches with any LPF garments too. 

Hope to start production in the coming Easter holiday, and release online during the same time. 

During the easter holiday i would like to do some tutorials on this blog too, so stay tuned~

LPF website is still under construction as I decided to use another system, and still considering to move the storenvy store to this new website, more news will be announced later on :D

♡ Rococo Dream

♡ Always had a fantasy of thinking what happens if you are able to go back to the era where every girl is wearing big puffy beautiful gowns in the 18th century? 

I would love it, totally.  (Though i might skip the corset part, i've tried wearing corset for a whole day and it hurts the rip cage....)

Back to main topic, La Petite Fille is finally going to release the 1st print fabric!
I named it Madame Rococo (fascinating, isn't it?)


Obviously inspired by the Rococo ladies and fashion. 
I always loved the Fashion plates they've had, read a book about them too, it says that some fashion plates will be sprayed with perfume to attract the readers~ 
i wish i could spray on the fabric so it stays fresh and sweet~ 

Whenever you talk about Rococo you simply cannot miss out the Queen of France-Marie Antoinette
I liked the film too, with Milena Canonero's amazing costume designs~ 
In fact i loved the photoshoot they did with Vogue :


For the print, i think i will make a pleated skirt with ruffles of tulle, 
and then a silk top.........
As i dont want it to be overly decorated, kind of want a balance between modern and rococo fashion. or should i say.....i want the design to be able to match with normal casual wear but also be able to turn into a garment where you can wear for a special occasion. 
Perhaps a style similar to Meadham Kirchoff SS13



Hopefully the fabric will arrive at the end of this month, 
i seriously can't wait to receive them (hope the print will be clear too)

♡ Review: Moon Bunny

♡ I think i am a very bad blogger because i haven't update for 2 weeks! (or more?) 
There's always so much to share but its hard to find a time slot to keep updating my blog.....
I'll still keep trying though >w< 

So recently I ordered a lovely cute brooch from Moon Bunny, this is their store link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CuteMoonbunny?ref=pr_shop_more
They are cute jewellery makers from Russia~ 
The shipping was incredibly fast, the brooch came within 2 weeks~ 
The brooch came in a small box, and its done with so much detail~ >w<
It can be coordinate with many outfits~ 
I would love to buy again from them~

----------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone is looking for cute jewellery, there is also another one based in Russia called Dolly House:
Their bunny necklace is so cute~ but i have no idea on how to order it, perhaps need some help from google translate.

♡ Inspiring Designers: Luella Bartley

♡ There has been something i always wanted to do about blogging. I wanted to write and share about designers that i like, those who are inspiring to me.
So here we go........

I first noticed Luella Bartley back in 2010, the spring collection she did with the famous heart cut out dress that is still in trend today in 2012. 
It was very much inspired from the 1960s look, its cute and elegant at the same time. 
And i remember how obsessive i was with the polka dots pattern (maybe i should make another post about this later ^^)

But it's sad to see the brand was forced to close as one of their main suppliers closed.
However, i was very lucky as Luella opened a store in Bicester Village until the closure last year (if i remember well) , so i managed to get 3 pieces from her collection. I loved the quality of the knit wear, and they were sold at a very decent price as they won't have new stocks anymore.

I loved reading her book, 'Luella's Guide to English Style', one of the quotes i loved was "Being English is not about being obvious or sexy-it's about interesting and illogically brilliant.

Indeed, English girls always had their own minds of what to wear today. 

And of course, i love the part where she wrote about Dr.Martens boots. 

Here are some of the designs that i found interesting from her past collections:

SS 2009




Fall 2008
Gotta love the Gothique style

Shoes from Spring 2010

I feel a bit regretful for not getting one of the dresses or skirts that were left in the store.
Well lucky thing is, Luella's clothes are still floating around eBay and some 2nd hand fashion bidding webs. 

One of the best thing for me would be to own a pink gisele bag.....
