<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last Saturday Simon and I had the pleasure of attending Urbis Design Day. The day is a collective collaboration between around a dozen different design venues in the city - from industrial to product design and interiors, it's a chance for design studios and retailers to showcase the latest and greatest and promote their products and services (as well a fair share of fun interactive installations and great food!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything I had heard about this event shot well above my expectations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was well and truely a pleasure to attend and be totally inspired as well as fed, watered and driven to each location. </div>

This is probably the longest post ever but I couldn't cull anymore photos! If you're ever in Auckland around this time next year I would highly recommend Urbis Design day - a great way to be inspired and see the city.</div>

I've decided to run a weekly feature on my blog called 'workspace wednesday' - unfortunately I'm a day late for the first one hehe, but I think it will be a great way to keep my workspace tidy and force me to change it around regularly which is always a good way to stay inspired! This week is mainly my bare wallspace as my desk area is too messy to show off... although this wall has been pretty much the same for the last few months, i plan to mix it up a bit this week. </div>

And now to quote Elsie De Wolfe:</div>

"I'm going to make everything around me beautiful, that will be my life."</div>

I have had such an amazing week of stepping out a little and taking some chances with promoting myself as a designer, and have been so overwhelmed with the response... Except to co-incide with this I have also been having major issues with updating my website which makes totally un-brilliant timing. Grrr. If anyone is wanting to get in contact with me or can't seem to get through, my email address is clarecollier@gmail.com. I'm hoping to have things sorted in the next few days, fingers crossed.<br />
<br />
It's been very frustrating and I think the only thing that can remedy this angst-y feeling is to have a good catch up on some of my favourite blogs!!!!<br />

I must apologise for all the wedding related posts lately, but that seems to be alot of what is going on in my life at the moment! These wee invites were made for my beautiful sister and her fiance and I hope they will reflect the feel of the wedding - fun, flirty and floral. It's less than two weeks away now and we are getting so excited - weddings are such fun! </div>

On sunday Simon and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary - I am gobsmacked at how a year can pass by so quickly... and apparently the older you get the quicker time goes! It has been such an incredible year of being together and growing more and more in love, I still feel like the luckiest girl in the world. xm e o w m e o whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11502049920711948827noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525821333644132483.post-43069147865756604712012-12-23T15:49:00.003-08:002012-12-23T15:49:50.315-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What is on my mind? Stationery!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have 2 beautiful friends getting married within the next few months, and for both weddings am solely in charge of designing the invitations, order of service, menus and other pieces of stationery needed... Safe to say it's going to be a busy summer, however i do love designing for friends because they know you and trust you with your taste, rather than a client who might have a very specific brief that I have to stick to. It's also exciting to have that trust and freedom to experiment with different methods (letterpress, offset printing) or materials - especially when it comes to packaging. Theres is nothing that get me drooling more than a beautiful piece of packaging argh...</div>

Summer is here and this saturday the hubby and i checked out the Silo Markets with some friends. It was a mixture of good music, cute vintage stalls and oh so much yummy food!</div>

I can't believe it's december already - 22 days till christmas and counting! This time of year always seems to creep up so suddenly and life starts to get pretty busy. I desperately need to start christmas present hunting, but this year I'm hoping to try and be a little bit clever and crafty and give more meaningful gifts than just something I snaffled up at the last minute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and i hope to post my progress on this soon).</div>

Happy Christmas preparing!</div>

one, two three paper bowls with gold leaf I made several months back - it's fun making things to decorate the house... it's was also quite nostalgic to experiment with paper mache again after so many years! it totally took me back to my childhood of making crafty things, i suppose i've never really grown up in that regard. I'm down to the last six weeks of university before i finish my degree - excitement is an understatement. I'm so looking forward to this next stage in our lives! </div>

It's quite an exciting time at the moment - several friends recently engaged and planning beautiful summer weddings. Also, i failed to mention last post of one of my besties in the olympics last month. Lucy we love you! Dreams are coming true. Happy weekend! </div>

I wish my posts weren't so few and far between - the truth is i have <u>terrible</u> time management skills and at the moment i'm *trying* to squeeze every spare minute into university projects... eeek.</div>

But, what a picture.<br />

A cup of tea in the morning. Pink grapefruit, mandarin and lime flavoured tea to be exact. It turns the most magnificent shade of pink which I find most satisfying to look at and drink.<br />
<br />
I'm very much looking forward to the weekend and what it will behold... The Auckland Art and craft Fair is happening tomorrow which is always a feast for the eyes and showcases all kinds of handmade goodies! If you're interested in the types of exhibits check our their <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8;"><a href="http://aucklandfair.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8;">blog</span></a> </span>for a taster of what's to come, and maybe I'll see you there tomorrow!<br />
It is in the city's Aoetea Square and begins at 10am.<br />

Some pictures from our trip south a few weeks back - the middle of winter and a morning frost makes for beautiful pictures. It was pretty crisp down there... isn't crisp such a great word?!<br />
<br />
Anyway, it was a brief but lovely visit - A chance to catch up with family I don't get to see so much anymore. The farm has been in my family for over one hundred years so all the hills are familiar and I know the land like the back of my hand. We grew up here but I gradually grew away from it. Now it is sometimes a little sad to go back - all the memories from my childhood still lingering on the walls and in the hallways of our old house. Going back makes me realise how much my life has changed, and every time we leave to travel back home I feel like a little piece of my heart is left behind.m e o w m e o whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11502049920711948827noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525821333644132483.post-75790917152331530072012-07-09T19:44:00.000-07:002012-07-09T19:44:37.394-07:00nudes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And now for my first ever outfit post.... yay!<br />
It has been awhile coming, mainly because I have been a little too shy but today I decided was the day. It's winter here in New Zealand and people tend to dress a bit darker in these colder months - but i still love wearing pale pastel colours. I'm wearing one of my favourite pink silk vintage shirts together with my newest closet item, a hooded trenchcoat. Top it off with my favourite oxford flats. Perfect for a sunny winters day! <br />
<br />
We had a great time down on the farm. it was bitterly cold but so beautiful. I can't wait to share some photos soon.<br />
I hope everyone has had a great start to their week xm e o w m e o whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11502049920711948827noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525821333644132483.post-87563283041489417042012-07-05T19:48:00.001-07:002012-07-05T19:49:15.448-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello from a beautiful winters day in New Zealand! This picture reminds me of the view from our window in the early hours of thismorning - fog everywhere.<br />
<br />
The husband and i are at this very moment about to embark on a wee adventure south for the weekend - down to our old family farm in the middle of nowhere! I can't wait to go for walks over all the big open hills and snuggle by the fire with a glass of wine in the evenings... ah, bliss! I will be back next week hopefully with some photos from our adventure!<br />
Wishing you all a splendid weekend.<br />
<br />

As promised, here is another snippet from our wedding - towards the very end of an incredible day... Dinner was done and we were dancing when outside the barn there grew a beautiful glow. Everyone moved outside to join in and light a lantern - they were a precious surprise from my mother who had them sent to her from overseas. It was such a sight to see all of our friends and family sending up these big glowing lights into the sky to wish us well. </div>

The perfect end to a more than perfect day!</div>

I suppose it's rather fitting that I post these as I am currently trying to give our wee place a bit of a makeover - it's amazing what a bit of shuffling around the furniture can do to your living space! The walls in our house are still rather bare, but i'm hoping in the coming weeks to have pictures up and everything feeling more like home. Don't you just love making spaces more homely? It has been the funnest thing since being married I think - having our own home to decorate and make our own.<br />

right up to the top. And so, in tribute of this, i have photographed seven of my most favourite shirts to share - of course these are just two... there will be more to come soon when i figure out a way of showing them. Such fun! </div>

Lately, life has been interesting... filling our days with creativity amongst the uncertainties that have popped up in the past few months. Somehow we feel peace.<br />
<br />
(and yes, those are thank you cards from our wedding, you should see the mound i have to get through!)<br />

greetings friends - i have had a long while to play with the idea of sharing these photos, sometimes thinking that i'd rather keep them private but then more often lately marvelling at them and the idea of blogging them. it's really is a dilema that i<br />
have quite often in my mind about how open to be about my life over in my little corner of the internet... but i've decided<br />
that i love these pictures too much not to share the joy with you all.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

it really was the most amazing day almost three months ago now. the day i made a vow to the man that i will always<br />
love. our photos were taken by the wonderful <a href="http://theysoloved.blogspot.co.nz/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Benjamin and Elise</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">.</span> if you would like to read about our wedding in more<br />
detail, there is a writeup <a href="http://www.magnoliarouge.com/2012/02/matakana-wedding-by-benjamin-elise.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">here</span></a> on magnolia rouge.<br />
<br />
(ps - yes, i have taken down most of the pictures a week later, i'm a chicken!)<br />
(pps - i might put some more up soon of our reception styling etc if anyone is interested?)</div>
