The Colour Magenta = Harmony and Emotional Balance

Spring is in the air! The flowers are in full bloom, trees beaming with fresh leaves sprouting from their branches. My fascination with colour is at an all time high as I walk through the streets seeing vibrant colours in nature, fashion and all forms of visual communication.

The colour of this week is Magenta, it encourages common sense and balance in all forms; spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. It's a colour of peace and joy. Here are some magenta inspired images to bring out all the positive qualities this colour represents. Enjoy!

Live Body Painting Session

As part of the Chic Petite Presents event, a live body painting session took place before the Sydney Fashion Hour styling talk. Chinese artist Amber Liu decorated model Janine's back with a stunning floral and butterfly design. It looked fantastic, I was extremely impressed, it was like a work of art. I want one of those designs on my back ;-)

Check out this video of the session:

Chic Petite Presents... Creatives Event With Love Atiara Accessories Installation

Love Atiara was invited to participate in the Chic Petite Presents... Creatives Event held at Queen Street Studios in Chippendale on the 26th July. The event showcased up and coming designers with a fashion parade along with an art gallery exhibition and fashion accessories installation. We were the only accessories label featured with a special section beside some fabulous works of art by Australian artists. The night was lots of fun, the drinks we flowing, music playing and models strutting their stuff. Unseen TV documented the event, I had my first official interview and dose of media training, yikes! An overwhelmingly positive response to the resin bangles on display made my night complete. The clutches were also a hit, the girls loved them - yay!!! Encouraging comments from the ladies and gentlemen attending warmed my heart with joy.

A big thanks to Sharon Garrard for her support, enthusiasm and continued efforts in elevating the profile of up and coming Australian designers xox
