This one was bought for me for my birthday by my work collegue L.It is a very wintery one and I will be wearing it with winter coats and cardigans next winter.
This one was given to me by the crafty lady herself. It is more summery and I will be wearing it with summery dresses and tops, maybe even corsage style at the waist. (It was a gift to thank me for being the middle man between her and my egg lady, Mrs S who drops eggs to me on Wednesday and then R comes in and picks up the eggs on Friday)R makes the flower brooches out of vintage kimonos and ties and sometimes upholstery fabric. For those in Canberra, they can be purchased at Department of Interior i(uber stylish boutique) in Manuka and they are also stocked in a boutique in Melbourne but I can't remember the name.. Oops!
The customer in question, R is without a doubt the most stylish lady I know. She always looks amazing and totally individual. I would describe her style as "avant garde impeccable".
She tends to favour a mix of vintage and bespoke clothes, shoes and handbags and fantastic jewellery.
R collects vintage lucite handbags and has been featured on ABC's "The Collectors" and had her own exhibition and the Canberra museum and kindly invited myself and two collegues to the opening party. She is also an incredibly lovely and gracious lady.
I can only dream of being half as stylish! Cheers R!
