Weekend Snapshots

Hi all, as you may know, I'm a big fan of Instagram (you can find me @sadiesadiesadie). Because of my addiction to this app I find myself snapping pics of pretty much everything I do!

Here are a few snaps of what I've been up to over the weekend, including attending the launch of Matchbox Studios on my lonesome!....

I brunched alone! The bf pretty much always makes breakfast / brunch on Saturdays but he was in Auckland, so despite waiting for my breakfast to arrive, by midday (yep, for reals, I was one lazy mare!) I was hungry enough to make my own ;)
PS how good is George Foreman  - grilled mushrooms are such a treat and all you need is a splash of balsamic vinegar!

I got my craft on. I made this necklace for myself with the plan of wearing it that night at the gallery launch I attended - alone!! - due to the bf being outta town. I did meet up with him afterwards when he came straight to town from the airport to meet me :)

The skull is huge! And the beads I bought whilst in Gay Paree

I wore this sick-as vintage jacket thing over a vest and leather-look leggings. I didn't wear the new necklace in the end!
I picked the jacket up a couple of weeks ago along with another vintage blazer that is yet to be collected from the dry cleaner - oops.

A sneak peek of some of the new designs I worked on over the weekend. I <3 them and have already decided to keep two for myself!

Chocolate nails matched the frosty weather we've been having.

I found this on the bench at the bus stop. A thimble! Really?!?!

And these are the accessories I ended up wearing - instead of the gigantor skull I'd made especially for the occasion. Ah well, I'm a fickle lady :)

 Have you ever attended an event alone? How'd it go?

DIY Skull Earrings

Hi all, hope you had a great weekend!

Just a quickie to let you know that I've posted a DIY tutorial over at Bella Blonde, showing you how to make your own beaded earrings (skulls OPTIONAL!Of course I opted for skulls!)...

Have a great day!

DIY + Pink

Well things are exciting with my jewellery line Shh By Sadie at the moment! 

There's a new gallery and boutique opening this weekend called Matchbox Studios and I have my own 'cube' within it. 

Designers set out their cubes themselves, and so I was wracking my brains to think of a simple but cool way to display my jewellery. 

And I came up with this:

I bought wooden letters 's' and two 'h' and sprayed them PINK!
This was the first time I'd ever used spraypaint and it was so much fun. And the colour was perfect!!

 

This is how they came out - just one coat of pink!

A test-run in the house

And the finished product set up at Matchbox!
I wanted to display things prettily, but without cluttering it all up. So I think this works quite well. There have been quite a few comments on my display on the Matchbox Facebook page already! Yay!

 

 

The shop has its launch party this Saturday. I am tres excited!!!!

What I wore: for my birthday BBQ!

Hi all, how was your weekend? We had some more lovely weather here in Wellington and so we got out and about...more about that tomorrow!

So I finally retrieved the pics of my bday outfit from the bf's phone - only three weeks later! My birthday was a Thursday and we arranged a BBQ for that evening. Of course it decided to rain just before the guests were due, so we had an indoor BBQ instead :)

Vest, Primark; Trousers, TK Maxx; Shoes, endless.com

The jacket is my favourite new blazer from Topshop :D I have too many blazers but can't help myself!

 

I have to have a birthday badge every year. It's the rules ;)

I left this photo uncropped so that you can see my glamorous bead and tool cabinet next to me! I need to move it into the bedroom, but for now it's still standing in pride of place in the living room! ;)

Turquoise ring, Primark; Gold ring, Topshop; Watch, Michael Kors; Skull bracelet, Shh By Sadie; Gold bangle, Hay Luv via Hipster.

Preparations for the indoor bbq underway! And the fizz was opened!

More of my birthday balloons! And my new speaker system in the background :)

 I had a lovely day but that seems like a million years ago now - although the balloons are still hanging around to remind me!
