Happy Christmas xoxo

2009 has been a wonderful year for me and my family, with the recent birth of our beautiful Max, and of course the birth of ‘Style Me Gorgeous'.
I want to thank all my Blog and Facebook followers, and everyone who has left lovely comments for me. I also want to thank my lovely online friends whom Ive met through Skout, you know who you are gals...I feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing network of talented ladies who share thoughts and ideas, and support each other not only in business but as mothers. Working from home is certainly not a lonely job when you have online friends to laugh, giggle, smile and cry with! I look forward to meeting many more online friends and styling more business’s gorgeous in 2010. It’s an exciting new year ahead for SMG with the website launch, and lots of plans and ideas bubbling away in my creative mind just busting to come out... I just need to find a few extra hours in each day to do it all lol.

Merry Christmas!, eats lots, love lots, laugh lots.

Chat soon...

Christmas Inspiration - Pretty In Pink

I love the idea of taking one colour, it doesn't have to be a traditional Christmas colour, and using it as the theme for Christmas decoration, this is just gorgeous! (pics from Hostess With The Mostess and www.bhg.com)

Frock

This is the beautiful website I designed for the boutique label FROCK. I love a clean and simple design, and this one works beautifully to showcase Angie's gorgeous garments.

Frock garments are for your precious little girl's special occasions, or.... just because, they are carefully tailored in New Zealand, combining retro flair with a modern edge...

Become a SUNNY MUMMY

A while ago I told you about 'Sunny Mummy', a VERY exciting new venture I have been doing all the design work for. If you haven't heard about Sunny Mummy yet then head on over to the blog to see what its all about, and don't forget to do all your 'mummy' friends a favor and tell them about it too!

Sunny Mummy founder, Stacey believes most mummies these days know about the 'Yummy Mummy' status... she says to forget about trying to keep up with this external illusion and encourages us.... being a 'Sunny Mummy' is such a warmer place to be.

I can tell you there are many exciting things in store for all you mums that want to be a part of this. I have just designed 2 gorgeously positive and inspirational posters for Sunny Mummy that will be available for you to download, print and hang, as a reminder to look after YOU first and SHINE!

All you have to do to get some of this sunshine, is make a donation towards funding the Sunny Mummy Website which will be FREE for all Mummies! The website will be built by mums for mums. Simply email staceysullaphen@bigpond.com for details.

A Diggers & Dump Trucks Birthday Party !

Yesterday we celebrated my eldest baby's 3rd Birthday. Wow, I can't believe Jack is 3!

We had a diggers and dump trucks themed party, you may have seen the invite I designed quite a while ago (I love planning parties so like to get organised nice and early). I think the highlight of the day for Jack was the cake... white choc mud with chocolate frosting and violet crumble on top, Jack is just like his mummy and loves his cake ! I kinda cheated and got a plastic dump truck to sit on the cake because there was no way I would have had time to make one with a 6 week old baby (I don't think I could have done it anyway...too hard), anyway I was really happy with the way the cake turned out..what do you think?

The little tins for the orange M&Ms and the orange buckets are from the fantastic online shop www.detailsdetails.com.au I made stickers for the tins, cupcake toppers and a birthday banner to match the birthday invites (I didnt get a good pic of the banner....I seriously need to invest in an SLR camera).

What party can I plan next?.....baby Max's naming day! YAY!.. it will be a baby elephant theme (I already made a few purchases for it before he was born, couldn't help myself hehe).

Luving Luvlee Photography

I have been looking forward to getting a photo shoot done by the gorgeous and talented Lee of Luvlee Photography since our second child Max was conceived ! We had the photo shoot last week, and when we visited Lee's studio to watch the slide show of photos for the first time I was crying by the second slide, I was just so overwhelmed with emotion, and so happy with the photos, the are just precious and I can't thank Lee enough.

The whole experience with Lee has been fantastic and I can't wait to get more photos done in the future as my two boys grow. Lee is great with kids, Jack hates it when I point a camera at him and tells me to go away....so I never get a smile out of him on my camera, Lee captured his beautiful cheeky smile that makes me melt just perfectly :-)

Check out the website to view more of Lee's beautiful work;
