The time of year has come again, when the Melbourne sun decides to peek through the clouds and lull us all into that false sense of spring time and every year I think that it hasn't come soon enough. Don't get me wrong, as much as I love the cold winter months (of which I am probably the biggest cheerleader) of layering and hot chocolate, it is always fun to pull out the bright patterns of spring and summer and bask in the idyllic scrap of sunlight even if it is only for 5 minutes while the jug boils.
Today I spent the morning in Fitzroy trawling through roll's of fabric and then lugging home the four large bags of linens, cotton's and silk's I've ben coveting for the past month but haven't bothered to purchase yet because the weather's been so dreary. But...with Spring creeping up in a little over two weeks time (I know, I'm already behind schedule for Spring/ Summer, will endeavour to catch myself up as quickly as possible) I thought, why not! So with my purse a lot lighter than when I left the apartment earlier in the day and arm's dragging on the ground from the sheer weight of the fabric, I traipsed home and spent a few hours admiring and showing off my purchases (there were a lot of 'oohs and ahhs, all from me). Then decided it was time to throw together a mood board or two for the impending season and get cracking on some serious design brainstorming.
So courtesy of a scissor happy day and loads of magazines I've put together three board's for my small Spring/Summer coat's range and now just need to start on the pattern's and toilles and encouraging you all to consider getting a funky, bright, fun coat for summer!
