Inspired by Jasmine

We were doing some blog surfing and stopped over at our friend Jasmine's gorgeous blog and fell in love with her blue and pink inspiration. If you have met Jasmine you would know her sleep wear and personal style is just as chic as the above images. Stop over and take a look at the rest of the post.

Island Life

Loving the cool calm turquoise and aqua comb with that pop of orange. Is that coral draped like a garland? Love it! It reminds me of a little spanish hotel I stayed in years ago with a girlfriend in the little town of Alicante on the Spanish coast. This palette the moorish inspired tile, sea shells and the stylish coastal vibe ahhh it takes me back. We planned to stay a day or two and spent the week! I was so inspired by the spanish aesthetic they love pattern and bold colour and aren't afraid to use it. Would love to head back there but this time with husband and baby in tow.

Gifts for our Guests

Design assistant super star Sarah

Super stylish Elizabeth ( I stayed behind the camera)

Pretty little vignette

We had such a lovely night last week I thought I would show you all some little snaps we captured in the week leading up to the party! Sarah covered the little inspiration journals in remnant fabric and ribbon as party favours for our bloggers and we managed to catch one of the last bunches of Peony's for the season so pretty in the blue and white jar. And I couldn't resist posting a pic of Elizabeth's amazing hand bag! Everytime she brings it to the office I think of ways to smuggle it out without her knowing!!!! (ha ha ha) Happy Tuesday design lovers... Are you loving your issue?

We Loved Having You!

Well what a lovely evening! It was so fabulous to catch up with all of our wonderful local bloggers at the showroom this week. This little pocket of the world is full to the brim with creative bloggers and designers and it was wonderful to come together and acknowledge the amazing community we are all apart of. We had a gorgeous evening full of Peach Bellini's, story sharing and plenty of giggles! One of the things we noticed was just how stylish our fellow bloggers are. Check out the gorgeous fashion in this little gathering! Thank you to everyone who came along it was wonderful to meet face to face and we missed those who couldn't make it. We look forward to the year ahead and catching up again soon. Keep your eyes open for more detail of the evening in the Ivy and Piper Magazine out next week!

We're Back!!!!

via The Style Encyclopaedia

So sorry for the absence, it has been a little mad here at Ivy and Piper. We are preparing for our bloggers Christmas party we are holding on Wednesday night! It is such a shame we can't have all of you over to celebrate with a champagne or two... but it will be nice to put faces to names to all of the other Brisbane based bloggers. We will post photos don't worry. Meanwhile isn't this image to die for! Our little Australia has never looked so stylish and if you are just like us and have too many magazines but can't bring yourself to throw them out what a beautiful way to display them!
