Paper Cranes are a pretty decorative theme when nestled amongst place-cards.

In Japan, the Crane is a mystical and holy creature and is said to live for a thousand years.
It is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes makes a person's wish come true.
A beautiful wedding gift or theme as the folder wishes happiness and prosperity for the married couple.

Monday's Muse: The Red Carpet at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards

The glamour of the Golden Globes red carpet is the perfect place to see trends emerge.
It might be a silhouette, a colour, a length or, as in the case of 2010, it's all about the detail!

Drew's crystal hip and shoulder crystal embellishments led the way whilst others opted for bows, ruffles, lace and touches of sparkle with beading and jewels.

Vintage Honeymoon Must-Haves from Billy & Lola

Billy & Lola is a swimwear label made from recycled and vintage fabrics. Designer Ruth Ziller started collecting old bed sheets at op shops in tiny country towns whilst on a “girlie road trip” on Australia's East Coast.



“I’ve always loved old fashioned bathers.
I just think that they’re so adorable and really flattering.”

There are seven different cuts, ranging from a strapless one-piece with a rouched waist, to a fifties style high waisted bikini bottoms with bandeau top.
The structured style and full coverage gives the impression of a curvy Marilyn Monroe pin-up.
