Print Inspiration

I'll admit it, I am totally obsessed with prints. Everywhere I go I see things that would look amazing on a printed skirt or dress. I think it must be the textile designer within fighting to get out. Liberty has become my new favourite place to explore on a weekend, I love to look at their fabric prints and if I'm not in store or outside finding new inspiration I am trawling Instagram and Pinterest for new and bold prints. Here are some beauty's...

Probably from the early 70's.  This fabric is very like some curtains I had when I got married in 1972
Pre-Fall’s moody toss of hand-painted flowers is strewn across caftans, dresses, bikinis… and now, it’s available in an exclusive wallpaper, too.

Twirlsdyed cotton  OKAMOTO Yasuo is recognized for his development of a unique technique for surface designs on textiles which is simultaneously dyeing and painting. His use of blue pigment often endows his paintings with images that resemble the natural world, such as clouds in the night sky or the rippling surfaces of water.

DVF we love you

What better way to start my Wednesday off then by posting about Diane Von Furstenberg.

This is a woman that is such an inspiration to me, she has amazing style and has had a tremendous career in fashion. To work for such an icon would really be a dream come true. She seems to be so wise and spiritual and I love to keep up to date on her instagram account with her strong words of wisdom that always come at the right time and make so much sense!

As well as being a great and independent woman she designs the most amazing clothes and is the one that introduced us to the amazing wrap dress, now every woman can carry one of these off, no matter of age or size.

So today, I am dedicating this post to how great DVF is and to say we all love you.

As Diane always would always say- Love Jacqueline x
