Pink Hairspray Breakfast Event!

The delicious pastries donated by St Honore Bakery in Mosman

My friends and I started a group called Pink Hairspray last year. The aim was to raise funds to buy a wig for one of our dear friends who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 27. Thankfully she's recovering steadily, enough to arrange the inaugural Pink Hairspray Breakfast, in order to raise money for this important cause.

The breakfast was a hit! Everyone had a wonderful time, soaking up the live entertainment along with all the scrumptious offerings for all taste buds. Raffle prize donations were made from Sony, MAC, Kenwood, Novotel Sydney, St Honore Bakery Mosman and my label - Love Atiara! I hand made a collection of resin bangles with the help of my dad, in the traditional Pink Hairspray colours of cream, mauve and, yes you guessed it Pink! The winner of the bangles is a fabulous local artist who immediately put them on, wearing the specially made collection with pride!

I did an impromptu photo shoot at Centennial Park with the bangles the day before, so I could show you guys the designs. I think I'll need to go back to the bakery for part 2 of the pain au chocolat's, they were so good!

My next collection titled... Illumination...

I've been back in the studio working on my next collection titled 'Illumination'. I was looking for a subject close to my heart, something to touch, inspire and bring a moment of joy. After a few trips to Maroubra beach to meditate on the theme, the word Illuminate came to mind.

It's a fascinating topic as one can feel it in many different ways but what does it look like? The images below begin to describe it. The colours of the sky, rays of the sun and the moon personify illumination in my world, along with the feeling of a kiss from another precious being. I'm uplifted, my breath taken away by the beauty projected... the combination of elements to produce natures light show, on the interior and exterior of the body.
