Look what target is selling, cup cake and tea party stuff. It must be a big trend if even target is selling this stuff, and to think I came up with my cup cake bag and tea pot bag nearly 3 years ago!

Australian Fashion Week Wrap Up

Lee Mathews- Soft and romantic, blues, creams and white. lots of volume.

Alice McAll- Subtle greys with fluoro greens and yellows, soft floaty fabrics

The wrap up-- Nothing particularly amazing about this fashion week. The stand out colours this week were greys, black, yellow and fluoro green and white. The look was either voluminous romance, or modern futuristic. Dresses are very short reminiscent of the 60s.
