Happy New Year everyone!!!

Most of you will be back from holidaying by now- I myself took a good long break and have been back for a few weeks Dandying it up. Theres some exciting new summer stock in Dandylion now - some great summer frocks, cuteyful sailor themed dresses by lekker becky and pretty florals by Lorelei. Pictured above, pink and yellow sweatshirt by Lorelei- $110, blue dress with jade trim by lekker becky - $119 and cupcake brooch by Magpie - $20.

candy fashion

On certain days candy is the perfect accessory, the dairy on my corner has candy bracelets - yum! Over the past couple of weeks new summery fashion has been coming in, and theres been loads of candy bright colours! Last summer I was obessed with pink and green, now I've shifted my 80's obsessed eyes over to pink and yellow!!, bright Cyndi Lauper-esque lace net leggings and other such aerobic fantasticness. Alas - No digital camera at hand right now but I will put some pics up soon, until then you'll just have to come in and see : yellow and green summer stripe singlets and turquoise tiger print from lekker becky, pony print bow tie sweatshirt dresses from Humbug, and bright sweatshirts with spotty yellow lace inlay from Lorelei. + Lots more sexy and simple pieces that will not have you looking like you want to be an 80's pop star if that is not your thing!!!

Bitchcraft!

Hey, so theres a new craft market starting up- its gonna be awesome! Its on at katipo cafe on 16 november- a lovely little evening event with lots of crafty goodies from welington craftsters. I am having a dandylion table with fashion and bags + whatever little accessories I can dream up. Check out the website for more info....just click here

I love to wear my pinafore

Thanks Blink for taking these fantastic
pictures!!!

This cute pinafore is by Tease The Pony,
and the teal bird singlet by me - Lorelei.

If fashion is your trade then when your naked does that mean your'e unemployed?

Yeah, i love that song........ if your the first person who can tell me who sings it you will win yourself a pretty $50 Dandylion voucher!!!

Wow! I went to the dress rehearsal of the wearable arts awards show last night and it was amazing. It was beautiful, funny and sexy what with fantastic music and lighting, glitter, snow and a troop of slender topless male dancers, and then theres the entrys themselves. If your not one of the lucky ones who scored a ticket to the actual show definetly see it when its on T.V.

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Wellington is all excited and busy at the moment with lots going on, like suddenly everyones woken up. Teapartys are back on yay!!!, for those uninitiated Dandylion hosts a teaparty every Friday from about 12-1 pm. Its open to everyone and sometimes theres cake. yum. Teaparty is also where you can get your hands on the latest newletter from designer and general notorious character/go getter/trendsetter Trashe. Last weeks one is in store now and its a beauty. Just who is that mysteriously enigmatic nude female stormtrooper featured as the centrefold?

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

At Dandylion theres been new stock arriving every week like usual, Lately theres been some great pieces from lekker becky, a new label "humbug" with super cute screenprinted tees, and today we got a whole lot more of those cute photo printed badges with dolls, teapots, mushrooms and things from Plastic Fairy. I have some great pictures to put on here of some more new clothes but its a mystery to me why the computer doesnt want to do exactly what I ask it to tonight, as far as electric husbands go I think im being snubbed. - If you haven't heard The Bachelorette yet go the the record store and listen!! Shes from Auckland and does pretty electro/indie music, I went to her show a few weeks back and it was one of the best Iv'e seen all year.

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

yep, summers slowly coming on and thats just fine and dandy.
