Cool colours vs warm colours I know that a lot of people believe in ‘seasonal colour analysis’ … but really, I believe more in WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD !I love cool colours - they just make me feel good, and they compliment the rest of the clothes I wear. Some colours have a warm and cool version - for example, you can have a cool green (that is more blue based) or a warm green (more yellow based). I find Olive Green to be warmer than the Emerald Green.How about you? What are you more drawn to? Let me know...

Have you heard of dopamine dressing?It’s the theory that wearing certain things that you love will boost your mood.I don’t think it’s scientifically proven, but it totally makes sense, right?I always wear things that make me feel good, regardless of whether I am going out, or if I am working from home and no one sees me. I dress for myself always.So what makes YOU feel good? Is it a certain colour? Is it a certain vibe? Let me know in the comments!

Y’know, I get a LOT of comments about my own personal style … and not always good ones, haha! Though as I am getting older, people are generally more supportive ;)Regardless of what you think of my personal style, I always dress authentically ME! I choose clothing and accessories that make me feel more myself, if that makes sense?Yes, I could choose clothes that are more ‘flattering’, but what’s the point of that if they don’t make me FEEL like me? I prefer to wear what I like so that I feel good!So I will be talking more about this...

I’m on a roll!I have 7 weeks until the Bowerbird Market!! So my priority is restocking all my sold-out colourways, starting with the Dappers :)I need to sew up the Olive Dappers, but today the Plum Dappers came off the loom - woohoooo!I’ll let you know when they are up on the website, but put 5 - 7 May in your calender if you’d rather buy them in person!You can find the entire range on my website :D

Phew, I have been BUSY during the weekend!I ironed and sewed 4 scarves, and a ton of make-up removers/dishcloths … this is the first cab off the rank for photography to be added to the website :)I absolutely love this delicious magenta - it’s even more gorgeous in person than I can capture here - YUMMMMM!You can find it right here!
