romance is in the air

Found gorgeous website that sells THE most lovely dresses fit for princesses, brides to be and ladies who want to look fabby! ^Look at the detailing on this dress, just beautiful, perfect for twizzing around in!^
My dream wedding dress, just perfect for me, I adore all things magical and Alice in Wonderland so this is A-OK in my book

ohh to have her beestung lips!


I love the sleeves and the detailing around the neckline, I think I would love it even more if it was green rather than baby blue though.



Simply willowy and serene, there are loads more dresses like this one in a range of colours and style, shipping from America though, but still worth dreaming over on your extended tea break with a nice slice of lemon drizzle cake xxxx

Fashion at the Met Costume Institute Gala

The stars were out in force for last night's fashion extravaganza in New York, the lovely J-Lo who I must admit I have not ever really been keen on her outfits, looked very lovely and sophisticated in the floor length Zuhair Murad dress, in the colour of the summer season according to some divas, shimmering, subtle, beautiful grey.

Carey Mulligan, starlet of the 2012 My fair lady film wore a very cute tonal Mui Mui dress, black tights and patent heels. I may try and replicate this at some point but not in lace, I really like the style of it and the over sized pockets.


The wow factor though was the adorable Katy Perry who lit up the proceedings in this awesome neon lit gown!

Hola sunny lovers !

Happy new year fashionistas, I bring you tidings of joy and sunshine in this bleak winter. I have a confession to make, I have fallen a little out of love with perry because my obsession for all things wonderful has been move to the phenomenon that is Lady Gaga, how divine is this creature who is exceptionally talented and also has some of the best costumes I have encountered for a long time without having to search bondage/unusual places.
In her new video Eh, Eh she looks very different and a behind the scenes documentary she tells us how she knows yellow is going to big and will feature highly in fashion this year and wanted her sunny side to come out to cheer us all up
Her creative yellow flower dress is very sunny and 50's reminiscent, but I'm not quite liking her other yellow outfits very much, this one is Tres' chic and I do love the shoes, but the colour is a bit dull and the padding does not hold the skirt part out as well as it should...

She looks very ethereal here and although the dress is beautiful in a sublime flowy way I think the colour makes her look washed out.

Onto the zingy side of yellow, complete opposite of mellow yellow above..

a bit too bright, crayon type colour for me, but it does make her skin tone look healthier.
Lady Gaga, I do so love you still and I do not mean to offend in my humble opinion xxxx
Now onto something different but still yellow, Kate Spade's designs are full of wit and playful sophistication and ooze charm, I am totally in adore of this 60's style A line dress but unfortunately like most great things you can't buy it here in blighty - Boo Hoo :(



Onto the collection spring/summer 2010 from Mr Alexander Mcqueen, very modern, geometric and slightly futuristic ( lots of angles/shoulder pads), this gorgeous dress with strapless bodice and over lace embroidered topper is just one of his lovely yellow creations


Look here to find this adorable handmade screen printed skirt for sale by prettypennydesigns on Etsy, she also has, scarves and chunky jewellery



all this sunshine on this post but still sat here freezing my ass off!
Ciao for now love Pixie xxxxxxxx

fabulous feathers

Fathers day yesterday wasn't it, well today in pixies land its feather day, I have 3 lovely chickens and as they are babies each day some more feathers fall out ready for the big ones to grow, Ive been collecting them in the hope of coming up with something fabulous to make with them, until that day comes feast your eyes on these......

Oh yes we certainly do rule!! C'mon lets here it for the girls, you to can sport this rather eye catching t-shirt in various colours, sizes small to xxx large and in different styles inc long sleeve, v neck and girly fitted, check out the t-shirt HERE
Flirty fancy feathers on this adorable party dress, in shocking pink and black by Unique Boutique with diamante, feathers and a ribboned bodice, available at ASOS, on sale at the moment at a lower price.



On very special occasions I come across a website that is so divine it makes my head swirl, I sit for far too long oohh ing and arghing at the loveliness before my eyes, well Fairy Gothmother was one of those sites.
The amount of beautifully made corsets and dresses on offer is breath taking, each piece has its own individuality, I'm sure anyone would feel like a princess wearing any of the garments they have. I love this photo with its feather bodice and net tulle skirt, oh and if anyone has one of those bird cages going spare I would really like one to hang from the tree in our bedroom!



A post without Katy perry's glamorous feather ensemble would be criminal so here she is in all her feathery glory! This is from her song waking up in Vegas which you can watch here - tons of glam costumes in this video.



Another site I love is Etsy, I think its a great place for talented people, amazing people, who have lovely things to share. I came across Selena's amazing head piece, mounted on a clear comb, it showcases the eye feather of the peacock. She has wonderful one off pieces superb for weddings, whether your a bride or a guest. I think they are fab to wear anytime!
Happy flying ladies Pixie XxX
