A/W13 Collection Inspiration

Today I wanted to share some of the inspiration behind the new pieces in the shop.

For this collection I was really inspired by:

✵ Warm colours - Plum, Tan, Rose, colours that are found in nature and evoke the sense of warmth.

✵ Folk Designs - As always I am inspired by the Scandinavian patterns and aesthetic especially in their folk designs. 

✵ Nature - especially textures, woodland creatures and nature drawings like the ones of the moths above. I love moths:)

✵ English Heritage - Tweed, Manor houses, Tea and everything else to do with the history of the nation I live in.

I really enjoyed making this collection. I can always tell that when I seem to be wearing the pieces non stop!!

It is small, but I am proud of it and it came together easily.

 I will be adding bits and pieces as the winter goes on so keep your eyes peeled:)

We had fun shooting a bit of a look book as well for Pink Sunshine and also my new project Sky & Sea, which is a mens accessory range! 

I am so excited to share this with you all and that's what I will be focusing on for the next couple of months, getting that up and running. 

Happy Tuesday everyone:)

A/W style Inspiration

As the season gets cooler I turn to Pinterest to get some A/W style inspiration.

And if my folder is anything to go by I am inspired by:

☁ Layers - and lots of them, the more the better:)

☁ Pencil Skirts - in wool fabrics and jewel colours

☁ Collars - Fur or textured on coats and jackets 

What is inspiring your look this season?

Autumn

*

Autumn is the time of colours, warmth, hot chocolate, stationary, blankets, and new goals.

1. Cook more - I have hundreds of recipes in my Yum folder on Pinterest and never try any of them. So I want to try at least one every week:)

2. Exercise - Again I have let this go a bit recently and its not good, I want to find a fun dance class in my area and get moving again!

3. Stick with the sewing - I was on a sewing roll over the summer and want to keep that going. Some nice dresses in wool sound like fun!!

4. Read - When I was a child I used to read about 10 books a week. . . .and that's only because that was the librarys limit!! I don't know why I don't make ore time to read any more. Turn off the computer/TV/mobile phone and just read. That's my goal:)

Do you guys have any goals this season??

Why didn't they ask Evans

I feel the summer slipping away from us this week.

And again I am caught talking about the weather on this blog!! 

I blame my nationality. English people cant help it, they really can't!

I realised I never shared these screen shots with you, from another Miss Marple - Why didn't they ask Evans.

The main heroine wears some delightful outfits :)  

I am busy at work on the Autumn Pink Sunshine collection, and will be sharing some of my inspiration with you all later this week! 

But until then happy Tuesday everyone!

Nadinoo - Play By Numbers

I have something to admit.

I'm not really a summer person.

Its not that I don't like the Sun, or the long drawn out days or even spending time lazing in the park or on the beach.

Its just I have to stay faithful to my first love- Autumn.

And nothing makes me crave Autumn more than seeing all of the Fall lines become available to ogle over:)

Including Nadinoo Play by numbers collection, all made in beautiful Liberty prints. Swoon.

After my crazy work summer it was awesome to take last week off and go and visit my friend on the Isle Of Wight, just off the south coast of England.

I love visiting her anyway but it was all the sweeter for the beautiful weather we had all week:)

Friends, tea, beach, cliffs, charity shops, pretty things, hills, driving, fish and chips

= lovely week:)

I am excited for the start of September, there is something about this month that sings to me of new starts, crisper air and new stationary.

I always like to think about goals and things in September, even more than January. I have some exciting things coming up too, which I should be sharing over the next month so keep your eyes open!!!

Happy Monday everyone!!!
