NeckSpice Moochies & GirlyGirls at LOL 14

NeckSpice joined forces with the wonderful Moochies pyjamas and GirlyGirls hairbows at

Lauriston Out Loud '14 on Sunday for a day of fun and festivities.  The weather was sensational, the music was groovy and the food ... awesome. 

We loved sharing a stall with such bubbly and fun people and hope to do it again soon!

 

Thank you to Sally and her team of volunteers for the

best rockband/school fair/day out on the green.  Some snaps of the day.

Check out the Moochies website before the Winter weather sets in...the NeckSpice hippie beads in coral, green and blue are just like the Moochies colours for 2014.  One word - divine.

 

 

Lauriston LOL '14 Fair

We have been busy....we have created some new collections for the Lauriston Girls' School LOL '14 Fair that will be held on Sunday 2 March 14.  Come and have a drink, some yummy food and a look at the new collections.  We look forward to showing you what we have been designing  ... here is a sneak preview 

 

 

Fresh scarf prints

Fresh scarf prints to add a touch of colour and glamour. 

Floaty silk that is totally amazing to wear.

Happy New Year to all our NeckSpice readers.  Hope that the start of the year was sensational for you and your families.  We look forward to an exciting year of innovative new designs and even branching out into other products.  For those still on holidays in Australia enjoy the warm weather and for our friends in colder climates stay warm and hope that there is a lot of

hot chocolate in your pantry!

 

 

Crystals and Butterflies for 50th celebration

What a great way to celebrate your 50th - gather friends and ask them to dress up - have lots of yummy food and drinks, a sensational band and lots of dancing, and then a lolly table with scented candles.  Magical.  So we celebrated by (...dancing the night away) making a crystal and butterfly necklace for this very special and amazing friend.  Happy 50th Birthday! 

 

During the creative process...

 

the finished product.  Stunning.

 

 

Art Deco Inspired NeckSpice

The Edward Steichen and Art Deco Fashion exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is fabulous, glorious, wonderful, breathtaking, amazing, inspiring ... yes we loved it and the exhibition has inspired a new collection in our NeckSpice range. 

Elegant beads reminiscent of an era where women broke away from the constraints of corseted clothes to adopt modern fabrics and a new style of clothing that allowed

elegant and fluid movement for the "modern woman".  

These new gowns were documented by Edward Steichen and his use of  light in such a dramatic way is amazing.  We could have stayed at the exhibition gazing at the intricate beading work for hours... 

 

but lunch with friends beckoned - a perfect way to spend a day in Melbourne.

 

NeckSpice Birthday Project for a Special Friend

A very close friend visited us last week and we took her to Camberwell Markets to show her a quirky part of Melbourne.  She found these antique watch faces that are sold by Chris Rankine and has commissioned NeckSpice to design some jewellery incorporating these delicate pieces.  A birthday gift to herself and a reminder of her visit to Melbourne.  We have our design hats on in earnest and will be showing you our design suggestions for this special NeckSpice client

over the next few weeks...

 

 

Travel NeckSpice

NeckSpice is now going to Sydney and Canberra on a big aeroplane.  Two close friends were visiting Melbourne for the weekend to celebrate their birthdays.  We had such a great time sampling the pastries at French Fantasies, eating dinner at Gazi, shopping at Camberwell Market, they discovered the Rose Street Artist's Market, and then we sampled some fabulous Melbourne coffee...we miss them already.  Here is our Sydney friend (a very professional journalist) wearing her

NeckSpice in transit...

 

 



 

NeckSpice at Emirates Stakes Day

The Melbourne Cup carnival was such a fabulous event this year - lots of colour, fun and a chance to meet friends and catch up in a glorious environment.  The NeckSpice girls were thrilled to attend the Emirates Stakes Day and watch some very majestic horses ... and check out the hats, jewellery, shoes, fascinators, and handbags.  We look forward to the next Spring Racing carnival which just seems to give Melbourne a real buzz...

 

 

Melbourne Cup Roses and the Colours of Spring

What a better way to celebrate Spring than to stop and look at the gorgeous roses in everyone's garden and at Flemington this year.  So many colours and styles to please every taste.  Have a look at some of our favourite ones... 

 

 







 

...and a few bracelets that we whipped up for the special day that are a

perfect complement to these vibrant natural colours.
