Hello. I've been quiet for quite some time now. Lots of different things have happened (more on that later - don't mean to sound so ominous there), but I thought why not break the silence and show you some Little Fille stuff I've been working on. On a Saturday night at 3:39am, no less. Fun, party times.<br />

<br />
I've been experimenting with shells, plastic and metal. Usually my personal style is quite minimalistic (or whatever I pick up from my bedroom floor, let's be real), so sometimes it's quite a challenge to get into "Little Fille" mode. I hardly ever wear headbands. Shock, horror! But I absolutely love to create new pretty, little things - so look forward to more in the future.<br />

If I'm being completely honest, I've always had flower haberdashery in my arsenal that I've never quite been compelled to use. That is, until I came across this beautiful image of my baby cousin Marian (now in her early 20s!) with this little number on her gorgeous little head.
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNhdMDOBrIVLopAYSfvn8oTiWhFQAs15_y7sdpdsBbwes-6x8G1DWpszs0L7QK390PDbjyfdxxb-EL6rRpZ2fdKoD1RXWnPggURXUauDPZNIOE182pzsAR4pYIvK2K-AT7MLTdS91MbQM/s1600/nining.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNhdMDOBrIVLopAYSfvn8oTiWhFQAs15_y7sdpdsBbwes-6x8G1DWpszs0L7QK390PDbjyfdxxb-EL6rRpZ2fdKoD1RXWnPggURXUauDPZNIOE182pzsAR4pYIvK2K-AT7MLTdS91MbQM/s1600/nining.jpg" /></a>
<br />Continuing on the honesty front, Marian is actually the headband aficionado of the family - she was practically born with a headband on her head. </center>
<center>
<br />
Anyway, here are the pins in question - dainty, small and sweet just like the tiny inspiration herself, and best of all, each one is unique but still totally affordable.<br />

These clips are quite dainty, but if you are into something more full-on (think floral crowns) - I definitely think you should also check out <a href="http://www.crownandglory.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Crown and Glory</a> - Soph has got some great stuff for all you flower lovers out there.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I also like the sunflower headbands over at <a href="http://www.louloulovesyou.com/collections/flower-headbands" target="_blank">Lou Lou Loves You</a> - very ethereal!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I've also remade some older pieces that I think are absolutely wonderful for the summer - if London ever gets one, that is. I'm itching to wear these headpieces with t-shirts, cut-offs and Doc Martens. Send some sun my way.

Hope you all enjoyed the holidays are that the new year is treating you well. It's been an interesting year for Little Fille and I'm so thankful for all the support I have received, from family, friends, customers and readers alike. Business-wise, I think I'll be moving in different directions, but more on that later.<br /><br />A while ago, I had a chance to work with some of my favourite bloggers in a little collaboration with some of their favourite pieces.

I definitely rely on my trusty mannequin (Hedwig, harhar) to model. <br /><br />Thanks to a partnership with <a href="http://carolwig.com/" target="_blank">Carol's Wigs</a>, she always has the best hair!<br /><br />Here are two of my favourites so far, on our multi-wear turban tie-up headbands:<br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/carolswigs/lilac.jpg"></center><br />This wig is my probably my favourite one, reminds me of my favourite, Michelle Williams. The wigs are such good quality for the price - this one can be found <a href="http://www.carolwig.com/SD3333-144-613-578.html">here</a>.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/carolswigs/purple.jpg"></center><br />Love this disheveled Zooey Deschanel wig available <a href="http://www.carolwig.com/XM003-2T33-496.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It's sold out right now, but you can always check their <a href="http://stores.ebay.ca/Hotter-Hair-Carols-Wigs" target="_blank">Ebay page</a> 'cos they're always restocking!<br /><br />Here are some of my other personal favourites from the site:<br /><center><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/carolswigs/wig1.jpg" width="600"><br />Available <a href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Extra-Long-Copper-Blonde-Wavy-Full-Wig-/150694556170?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item231618720a" target="_blank">here</a> for £14.99<br /><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/carolswigs/wig4.jpg"><br />Available <a href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/beautiful-Straight-Bob-Platinum-Blonde-Short-Full-Wig-/160679067936?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item2569380120" target="_blank">here</a> for £14.99. (My friend Shyla wore this one for <a href="http://little-fille.blogspot.com/2011/11/halloween.html">Halloween</a> and it looked lovely on her)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/carolswigs/wig5.jpg"><br />Available <a href="http://www.carolwig.com/STYLE-SL7741-2T30-220.html" target="_blank">here</a> for £16.99<br /></center><br /><br />Best part for those of you in the UK is that they are based in London, so it won't take ages to come in the post. The wigs are really great quality, especially for the price. Carol, who runs the company, is also really wonderful and helpful to deal with! I'll take some photos with them on once I get a chance, so you can see them in proper action - though the model definitely does them better justice!<br /><br />I'm strangely really into wigs - one day maybe I'll be brave enough to wear one out of the house.<br /><br />Mxmarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09812934843715672093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365554841828563806.post-78023460332855520572011-11-03T11:43:00.001-07:002011-11-04T22:56:22.174-07:00Pretty In Pink<span style="font-weight:bold;"><font color="red">EDIT</font> - ONTDers, please <a href="http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/64106980.html">vote</a> for us for best pairing in the <a href="http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/64106980.html">ONTD Annual Halloween Contest</a> (or you know, the other people, if you prefer them). Thank you!</span><br /><br />In other Halloween news, I finally got to live out my dream of being Andie Walsh for a day and consequently entered the <a href="http://www.chictopia.com/photo/show/545163-Pretty+in+Pink-pink-bin-bag-chic-dress">"I Die for DIY" Chictopia contest</a>.<br /><br />Pretty In Pink is definitely my favourite Molly Ringwald film, and I’ve always wanted to pay homage to the ultimate monstrosity/amazingness that was Andie Walsh’s prom dress.<br /><br />If, like me, you were simultaneously horrified and fascinated at the Frankenstein mess of a dress that Andie reveals at the end of the film – then you will know how much satisfaction I felt when I sewed that final stitch – knowing that come Halloween, I too, would be PRETTY IN PINK.<br /><br />Of course, I needed Andie’s partner in crime – so naturally roped in my bff to play the role of Duckie. He did some DIY of his own – cutting an Elvis wig down to Duckie’s original curly quiff, and making his arm patch with some felt.<br /><br />I made the dress out of the cheapest material I could find ($1 a metre, heeeyyy), and some lace to match. I also made some faux pearl earrings (details, details). Upon further inspection and costume research, I learned that both Andie and I have two piercings on our left ear which is an obvious indication that this costume was meant to be!<br /><br />Surprisingly, this mess of a dress took longer to make than I expected – so let’s give credit to the incredible fashion designer/fashion icon that was Andie Walsh.<center><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4nSqhFBbo_tmoUx82Sk1SzXnBzoR29szwqmsno2RwZc3yUMt7_yeX43AvK7k2ZAvlD5BPiLG8g-4_eqgqFQN50Nqx50HUMqMqr6IgTBYguP13k6STD1Kgampz4YB74SYS_2KYC1Ti0_o/s1600/chictopia.jpg" width="400"><img src="http://assets0.chictopia.com/photos/marimarimari/7651262930/7743061478/pink-bin-bag-chic-dress_400.jpg"><br /><br /></center>We also entered the <a href=http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/64106980.html">ONTD</a> costume contest - ha, God help us!<br /><br />Anyway, do <a href="http://www.chictopia.com/photo/show/545163-Pretty+in+Pink-pink-bin-bag-chic-dress">vote</a> if you enjoy a great homemade ugly dress.<br /><br />Mxmarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09812934843715672093noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365554841828563806.post-36561914763462792452011-11-03T10:21:00.000-07:002011-11-03T19:57:39.233-07:00HALLOWEEN!So, you may have noticed I've been MIA from the blog for a while - I'm back in Toronto, catching up with family, friends, siblings - and of course, work. We've churned out our winter look book - starring the lovely Lora Hayes and beautiful Juste Juozapaityte from Britain and America's Next Top Model! Both were absolute joys to work with - more on that later.<br /><br />Anyway, this has been my first Halloween in Toronto in 4 years, so me and my bffs Anne and Shyla decided to go all out. I love Halloween - and it just isn't the same in London, so was thrilled that my stint back home would encompass this wonderful day. Without further ado, here is my halloween in pictures (Stolen from Anne and Karen's facebook pages - thanks ladies!)<center><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/shot.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/jelloshots.jpg" width="650"><br />Loads and loads of jello shots<br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/brain.jpg" width="650"><br />Vodka jello brain<br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/redvelvcakepop.jpg" width="650"><br />Red velvet cake pop<br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/hallocider.jpg" width="650"><br />Spiced rum apple cider with shrunken heads<br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/peenfing.jpg" width="650"><br />Spot the severed penis<br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/food.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/milcatswan.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/bananamia.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/talk.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/hand.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/face.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/drank.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/80sphotobomb.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/dora.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/brity.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/sexycat.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/edsciss.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/bffs.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/daniel.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/milhouse.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/halloweenblogpost/karenjenny.jpg" width="650"></center><br /><br />On actual halloween, I went trick or treating with Daniel and my baby sister. (Baby brother didn't want to come!) We went as a zombie family and I loved the fact that my costume <s>somewhat</s> terrified young children. A pirate girl closed her eyes while walking to avoid looking at me.

I've been in Toronto since Christmas - preparing the collection, and my wonderful grandma has unbelievably sewn much of the S/S stock that's available in Topshop now! <br /><br />Now that I'm back in London, things have been quite on the go - trying to catch up with designing collections that will be finished on track with the fashion schedule and overall, just catching up on lots of the boring parts of business.<br /><br />One of the really great things that has happened is that we're in the front window of Topshop! <br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH5f4FQmMeX0Px1uUobbM2dS6KHnvzp-41zoeSlthO1IYVshoJ4kahCAPMhyphenhyphenEDW3PIDAn4RGgF6GK9HHDZdm1M1FLa6Cn8ifQAt5JaeGR21HDqDTXZrAvnhIVneDe86VxQ_DURp_5g2As/s1600/topshopwindow.jpg" width="600"><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqVsHeh0N3S6hZxaC5Q8p5x6KLTYv1QXjbxeD-po4kHXB6qX1l8MjOfUG8CI1bPsauSs7U0OIhXnf27an-SlggQ8sc3vBUm-yDgT8tDEUmiCQsx6nVkoxIMLqjFZUur8c4Hi3ZEelAHKo/s1600/262783383.jpg"><br /><a href="http://littlefille.bigcartel.com/product/bettie">Bettie</a> and <a href="http://littlefille.bigcartel.com/product/jean">Jean</a>.<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLgXeiJEUuWvPqNIt2HfHPGaChM32Adb5udLoM-RNuA1QGvgoiV3BEJfcBzDOfOqDm_9qgIlvzIEM8ZLr7A-WYdUJaLpNmcMdSB3WOfVeKaL5J5jQ02ezhEDhJV7fcWjXFJFjjqQPgZa4/s1600/261264456.jpg"><br />That's the <a href="http://littlefille.bigcartel.com/product/elle">Elle</a> turban on the mannequin in the green bikini.<br /><br />We've been inside too, in the lingerie section, which was another really nice surprise.<br /> <br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9u9fBiewZZLKCg5nb-GvVaKOwxRKBvJa3brdgw_RmofJ-lT-dCJGOnKpkN1wbYssuEzyFL0jR5dv1KRxDbyzBDfcr-fU5ePmomD6eZVcekQSlCH8a4urc7-42Y2rfnWAeLA_ahFIoqvk/s1600/265332186.jpg"><br /><a href="http://littlefille.bigcartel.com/product/molly">Molly</a> and <a href="http://littlefille.bigcartel.com/product/coraline">Coraline</a>.<br /><br />After working quite hard, moments like these are especially nice as I've got no control over any of Topshop's visual merchandising - so it is really a thrill to see them up there however lame I may sound!<br /><br />I've learned a lot from being at the shop (and am still learning)- developing more product styles, but less overall product being one of them.

I even got to ring in the new year half asleep, nursing a migraine and fever. Amazing.<br /><br />Here are some preview shots of Little Fille's upcoming S/S2011 collection, along with some grey knitted turbans which should be available sooner. I'm doing a shoot with all the new pieces hopefully on Sunday, before I send the samples out to Topshop. (Did I mention we're there for good now? :)<br /><br />Anyway, let me know what you think and what else you'd like to see for Little Fille in the spring and summer! <br /><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/leighton.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/coraline.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/alessandra.jpg" width="650"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/elizabeth.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/edith.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/donna.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.littlefille.com/emma.jpg"><br /><br />PS also looking for Toronto based models, any leads welcome! <br />Mari xmarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09812934843715672093noreply@blogger.com6
