Be....

In a world of Kardashians, be Diana.... show grace and style, sophistication and elegance with a little lace 

I know Kim has come far.... for what ever reason that is still a complete mystery! 

Trust me I'm not a hater and I'm not somebody who is jealous, but I don;t get it. If you do please explain to me....

Style wise I believe she is at her best at the moment.... in the past from my professional point of view as a trained fashion designer I have only one word shameful! 

You might say it;s hard but keep in mind when you have all the means in the world and money is not an issues, all the designers open  the door in front of you and you still look like you had no mirror at home, it;s ridiculous! There are no excuses! 

But it;s not all bad... I know we all have bad days but when you are in front of moving lenses 24/7 the game changes and you have to be perfect. 

And talking about lace... Kim pulled some great lace outfits... 

and some.... oh well! 

The latest pregnancy look is way better, well done Kanye! 

So be the best you can be and keep in mind the world is watching! 

Be an example and show the young girls that look up to you that you can be more than just another  tape....

Lacy nature....Vitamin C

Nature is such a wonder and full of surprises! Did you know that when you take a  look under the microscope , Vitamin C looks like a wonderful antique and at the same time abstract work of art with instigated lace?

A true work of art....

PS: Happy Monday! 

Every design has a story.....Avis Argentum

Every design has a story......

For me it all starts with a mood board

After the mood board is created, colours melt and thread is ready to be used a title needs to be given...

Since I am working on a very special limited collection inspired by Australian Birds, 

I decided to call this unique piece 

Avis Argentum

I love working with high quality threads like silver cords and silk elements so to me it was natural to call the statement piece Avis Argentum, - silver bird

Step by step the design takes shape and each moment closer to the end product is a journey every designer is keen to explore, from exiting new ideas, experiments, materials and of course quality checks! 

Every product out there deserves to be unique and to shine, this is only possible with quality control! 

When it comes to jewellery, some products are simply a pain and you see that it was made in a hurry and not much love was put into. 

Each product I offer when to a very strict quality check. 

I would never offer a product that I would not wear myself- this is called self-respect! 

You need to respect your client like you would respect yourself! 

Every single piece is checked over and over again so the customer can receive the highest quality product. 

It needs to be original, in perfect condition and fun! 

Step by step it will be checked for design, thread quality, neatness, etc... only the best materials will be used to create each piece. 

The stones are picked with care and have significance, the colour combo and design will have a theme that stand out and the feel good sensation is a bonus! 

You an be sure, that if you buy from us you not only buy quality, you buy an experience, a unique product that last! 

Workmanship and an eye for details are our goal! 

We all want to have something special and feel special, a piece of jewellery can make you feel special! 

If you are interested in more Avis Australis designs, please visit the Etsy Shop for unique designs.

Custom orders are welcome! 

So make a statement! 

XOXO, 

Lorena

Lace inspiration.....

When it comes to lace I guess the inspiration can go wild....

From Home Décor to stylish hair styles and so much more! 

I love the idea of femininity and style, tradition and a feeling of home when it comes to lace. 

I always say when you have nothing to wear, go with lace.....

These days it;s all about the little gadgets and to me a lace case is  purely fun and a part of your personality maybe.....

Lace dresses are not only a vision, but also for some women daring to wear! I simply enjoy them and love them. 

Lace envelopes for a wedding are not only traditional but also classy in my eyes, so if you want a fun but still traditional wedding, go with a paper lace envelope....

And if you like lace jewellery, visit my Etsy Shop where you can not only purchase unique lace pieces  but learn to make lace items.....

What do you like about lace?

XOXO,

Lace desire.....

I have loved corsets since I was small. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to an exhibition, and they had a corset on display. I loved the flesh color, the salmon satin, the lace.

Enjoy some lace.....

Oscar de la Renta.....

His designs are truly a dream and since yesterday the fashion world lost a beautiful soul. Designer Oscar de la Renta had always a special place in my heart. His designs made me smile. Oscar showed his love for handmade and crochet in almost every collection.
RIP, Oscar you gave us a beautiful world and made every fashion season and red carpet a pleasure. Your creations will live forever....

I would like to celebrate his style and designs with a special illustration and his last collection.

Enjoy  and celebrate his designs! 

XOXO, 

Lorena
