Currently lusting after an amazing pair of red high heeled slippers, featured in an inStyle article about Dita Von Teese. Certainly I do tend to drool over most things Dita-esque...but these shoes are just stunning. They're on page 56 of the new InStyle magazine (Australian) if you're curious.
Also considering a sequinned beret. I currently own about 4 berets (black felt, raspberry felt, white woollen and grey woollen), but am thinking a sequinned beret might make a fetching addition to the collection, in kind of a Roseanna Arquette in "Desperately Seeking Susan" way - you know, after she regained her memory but still kept the "Susan" style, when she's making out with Aiden Quinn in the cinema.
Hmm, I don't know, still thinking about it!
Also considering the purchase of a 1950's style frilly apron, to surprise my man with on our upcoming holiday. Apron + nothing else but a pair of heels and a smile of course...

Style Melbourne & Zuel's Accessory Designs
If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend a visit to "Style Melbourne" - a design and style website centred around all things fashion!
http://stylemelbourne.com
Plus they were kind enough to include some of my accessory designs in their "We Love" column a few months ago: http://stylemelbourne.com/2009/02/we-lovefloral-jewellery/#more-924
It hasn't been that great in accessory design land for me really - the crappy economic times have definitely hit Elena Dwyer Designs in the hip pocket. Two of the websites I used to sell through have gone broke, plus another of my suppliers couldn't afford to buy as much of a range this season.
Still keeping my chin up though, as I am a firm believer in staying positive and the whole "what goes up, does come down" cycle. Things will swing my way again, and in the meantime I'm just having fun being creative.
Current love: the black beret complete with attached peacock feather I saw the other day. Swoon!

The Belated Return of Maxie et Zuel
Wow - I can't believe we haven't written here in almost a year!! Not long after the last post, I ended up losing my (rather boring) admin job, so was pretty much consumed with finding a new one.
Luckily it didn't take me too long, and I now work in the wonderful world of Recruitment! I really enjoy being able to help people, and am also finding I get to discover lots of the eccentricities of the human psyche, which is never dull.
Maxie has also started a new blog - kind of a "how to" and advice regarding all things bombshell and ladylike. http://thekittylaruerevue.blogspot.com/
Things are still amazing with Mr Zuel, in fact, we are off to Tasmania in a couple of weeks, for a romantic/boozy/foodie week away. I have been stocking up on elbow-length gloves and am planning a glamorous, yet warm travelling wardrobe.
Anyway petals, I promise it won't be too long between posts again. Mwah - zuel xo
