Baby, it's cold outside

...So we need snuggly boots >_< These were so much fun to make (although there was a LOT of fur to hoover up afterwards!). They are designed for your Minifees, to keep their toes snuggle all winter long :) Minifee Fur Yeti Boots

I also made two new tunic tops for Minifee :) I just love these fabrics!

Pink Camoflague Minifee Top

Rosebud Minifee Top

It's certainly been a busy few weeks, and I've sort of 'crashed and burned' this week: taken down by the common cold! It seems that everyday I am discovering some new, unwelcome symptom: it started with blocked ears, then weak muscles and shivers, yesterday I thought I was on the mend except for a sore throat, and today it seems to have lodged in my skull after keeping me awake since 5.30am with a tickle cough. Well, at least it's interesting ;) I hope you are all in better health, and looking forward to Xmas!!!

Lots of Love,
Amy xx

Virnando Agassi Photography

One of the things I love best about designing accessories is the amazing, creative people I have been fortunate to work with and get to know, even call friends!
One of these people is Virnando Agassi (known on Flickr as Agassi).
He took so many fantastic shots for my shop and even showed me how to edit-in the floral background. Thank you so much Agassi!

I will be adding new items from this shoot to my shop over the next week, but here is a preview, some of my favourites ;)


                                                     Black Bow Hairclips


                                                             Black and Fushia Floral Bow Clips


                                                                Lace Butterfly Headband


                                                       Pink Leopard Headband



                                                               Champagne Lace Headband

I am so inspired by Agassi's beautiful photography, that I asked him to do an interview for my blog :)

Me: How did you get into photography?Agassi: At first, I loved seeing models in magazines, their fashion and style made me want become a photographer and capture their photos..and then, I went to Photography and Graphic design college to study photography ^^
Me: How would you describe your style?Agassi: Colorful but soft, vintage and natural :)
Me: What inspires you?Agassi: Photos in Fashion Magazine,and my dolls :D


Me: And what advice would you give other budding photographers?Agassi: Composition in your photo is the important thing, so you need to balance color, light and the object to make the perfect photo, and I learnt a lot of photography lessons from searching Tutorials and videos about Photography on the Internet , there so many lesson sand tutorials you can get!

Please stop by Agassi's Flickr Stream to see more of his inspirational work.


Thank you so much for reading :)

New!!

I've been busy these past few weeks making these new things for my doll shop. I hope you like them :)








My other dolly-news is that I have persuaded my husband to help me to make a diorama for my Pullips! I am hoping to take lots of pictures of the process and blog about how we did it! I spent ages looking for the wallpaper, furniture, etc and am so excited to see how it will turn out!!

I have also been fortunate enough to work with photography company 'Posh Underground,' who took these amazing pictures for me! I have just released the two headbands in the following two pictures, and the third is a re-shoot of one of my headbands. I hope you like them! You can buy them here




And finally a sneak peak at two new headbands I will be releasing soon (along with others that I am particuarly excited about - especially those I am designing with real pearls). I am sending these all off to be photographed soon, so keep your eyes open for my new line ;)

Disney Princesses!

I recently found this amazing Japanese import fabric and thought it would make such cute accessories! I have always loved the Disney princesses, and I was so excited when I saw these kawaii versions! I think that Belle is my favourite Disney princess by far! I love how intelligent she is (when I was younger I tried to learn to read whilst walking to be like her!!!). She is also my favourite because I believe that, out of all of the 'perfect', Disney matches, hers is the most 'genuine'. She loves her prince truly for who he is, and not because he is super handsome, wealthy, or because he saves her from some terrible, undeserved fate (although one could interpret major character-flaws in anyone who falls in love with an actual beast!). *sigh* I love how they grow to love one another *sigh*. I'm reading Jane Eyre at the moment, and it has turned me into a romantic-fantasist! I feel like watching Disney movies now *hehe*
 I hope you like my new collection :)


They are available to buy here

New Shoes

Last week, Pandora and I both got new shoes!
I had a wedding to go to, so my lovely hubby bought me these shoes from Dorothy Perkins:


They are a gorgeous metallic gold and went really well with the metallic gold dress that I wore them with :)
I also wore this headband from my shop, which I think added a lovely finishing touch :)



I do regret that I didn't get a picture of my outfit *sigh* I was just in such a rush, and don't really like pictures of myself anyway >_<


Pandora got new shoes too!! They were sent to us as a trade from one of my lovely friends :)
They are from Nine9Style, and I cannot believe how detailed and stylish they are! They photograph perfectly! This picture actually made it onto Explore (on Flickr), which was a lovely surprise!



And here is one more shot of them because they are just so fabulous!
