I love Erstwilder brooches














My love for Erstwilder brooches began at the start of the year after seeing lots of ladies on instagram wearing them and thinking to myself how cute and unique they are!
This is the official website:
http://erstwilder.com/ 
But you can buy any of the items from numerous online/actual clothing and accessories boutiques and from ebay. Just "Google" - Erstwilder!

As well as this brand designing and selling layered resin brooches they also sell necklaces, rings and earrings.
 The Erstwilder collection is designed in Melbourne. Originally by a lady named Louisa Camille, but due to the high growing demand of this brand - there has recently been an expansion and now there is a design team of three.

All of the items are inspired for women who love rockabilly, vintage and retro fashions and accessories.
Most of these designs are animals/birds/reptiles etc.

February this year I bought my Mum a peacock brooch, as my Mum loves anything to do with peacocks! 
I bought the brooch from a rockabilly/pinup fashion boutique called - "your one stop pinup shop" This is their offical website: http://youronestoppinupsho.photium.com/ 
.

This is the peacock design brooch I bought for my Mum.
Earlier this year I found and bought my very own first Erstwilder brooch, from a vintage/retro fair, that visited the town, where I live. The brooch is a red cat design, I had to buy it, as I love cats and the color red!

This is the cat brooch and me wearing and personally styling this.

  The second Erstwilder brooch I found and bought was from ebay, is a sparrow design, I love the colors, and I thought that it is very rockabilly and retro!

The most recent Erstwilder brooch I've bought was from the "Woolloongabba Antique Centre" in Brisbane, Queensland. This is their website:http://www.woolloongabbaantiquecentre.com/  This brooch is a very cute poodle design which I also had to buy! As I knew it would go well with some of my Paris print clothing.


This is the poodle brooch and again me wearing and styling it.


The brooch in the photo below in the only other Erstwilder brooch at this stage I have considered on buying is the flamingo design one, again to go with some of my flamingo print clothing!


I would highly recommend on buying yourself one of the Erstwilder accessory design items because of their high quality, and for the designs being so cute and unique!

Do you own anything from the Erstwilder collection?

Until next time!

Thanks for facebook - Mark Zuckerberg!








I joined facebook in 2008, after a cousin of mine told me to join up, she said "I would probably get in touch/contact with long lost friends". 

At first I was somewhat skeptical about it, that I, actually would find my friends on their that I lost contact with over the years. (I had moved away from the city I grew up in, to another town a few hours away with my family).

But after joining a past "school" facebook group, well it wasn't long until the friend request's started coming in, mainly from my former school peers. By looking up their "friends list" and so on I soon found all my closest girlfriends I used to go to school with! 
I was so excited and happy by this!

After accepting friend requests etc, I got in contact with them all and organized a "catch up". Until this day we still all try to get together from time to time. To celebrate birthdays, weddings, baby showers, Christmas get togethers and we've also been away together for a couple of nights!


This is one of our "ladies only" get together's (friends birthday)
Currently my friends on facebook include family members, school friends/peers,  work friends/collegues, Madonna friends/acquaintances and most recently some instagram friends.

On my personal facebook page I often post up pictures of interest, personal photos, status updates and links, recently including  my own blog link up. 
I also follow quite a number of group pages, fashion and celebrity pages as well.

This is one of the first pictures I uploaded onto facebook. (2008)
This is a recent photo I uploaded up at a Madonna dance party! (2014)
I enjoy using facebook to read status updates, look at pictures/photos, and use private chat to "chat with some friends".
I used to play some games on their but I don't anymore, as they just get too addicting and time consuming!
I also change my cover and profile photos regularly as well - just for a change!


This is a recent cover photo of mine.


This is one of my profile photos.




















Facebook for me is the only way to "know what my friends get up to on a daily basis and to also stay in the loop"!
Why do you use facebook?

Until next time.
