for the website. Shown above are cards from our Social Butterfly

I’ve been busy giving the Something for the Girls website a much
needed spring clean this month. We're currently updating the site with
new photography and cards. Here is a selection of images from the

Domestic Goddess collection. Cards are available to purchase
online from Something for the Girls.

~{something to tickle your fancy}~

Our Hello Lover collection has been added to the online shop today.
The flirty selection of lingerie cards are hand-finished with Swarovski
diamantes, ribbon bows or a feather plume.

I love lingerie. One of my favourite blogs is from the girls at
Frou Frou Fashionista. They post beautiful images, featuring stunning
lingerie styling, which I always find a great source of inspiration.

~{something for the weekend}~

Two card collections, have been added to our online shop this week.
Hot on her Heels and Wardrobe Mistress.

  Hot on her Heels features twelve designs and Wardrobe Mistress
is a petite collection of six cards.

~{for shoe lovers: part three}~

...Spring is in the air and golden heels are in bloom.
These blossoming sandals* are my perfect spring fling.

~{new for spring: notebooks}~

Samples of the new Something for the Girls notebooks arrived
this week. The collection of four hardback notebooks features a pair
of ballet shoes, a vintage stiletto, a typewriter and a vintage dress.

I’ve been excited about seeing these new notebooks for so long.
I’ll be jotting down, all my notes and ‘things to do’ lists,
in these from now on!

~{every girl needs a pair of red shoes}~



Red shoes are guaranteed to put a spring in every girl's step.
Skipping along in scarlet heels always feels so fun and frivolous, as
flashes of red, light up heels, soles and toes. I’m longing for a sunny
spring day to arrive so I can wear my red shoes* again. In the
meantime, I’ve taken pictures using the Hipstamatic iPhone App.
Just looking at the rose tinted glow of the photographs,
makes me nostalgic for spring.

~{for shoe lovers: part two}~

One by one, I picked petals from a flower...

"Shoes love me, shoes love me not, shoes love me..."

Sadly, the final petal fell on "Shoes love me not".

It's a classic case of unrequited shoe love...I love these shoes*
but they just don't quite fit properly...Heartbreaking!

~{portobello gold}~

...Beautiful but in need of a little love, vintage golden heels*
from Portobello Market. I can't resist the allure of gold shoes.
I own five twinkling pairs...all different shades of 'sparkling'.
All lined up, waiting for a glamorous occasion.

*{accessorised with corsages, for an added touch of shoe goddess glamour}

~{for all the hopeless romantics}~

A favourite scent and seductive silk negligee...love is in the air.

Chanel No.5 delicately sprayed on a wrist...or behind an ear...
Lace camisoles, with pearl buttons to fasten...or unfasten…
A silk slip left on...or off…ooh la la!
Happy Valentine’s Day...x

~{for shoe lovers}~

My favourite new shoes*, serenaded with roses.

I still can't decide which pair I love the most...

~{bags of style}~

New for 2011...

 Something for the Girls "Vintage Dress" Gift Bag for Penny Kennedy.

 This “Vintage Dress” design has become one of my most popular cards.
The design is based around a real dress which currently
has pride of place, hanging up in my studio.

The dress was bought from a vintage fashion fair in

London many years ago. I searched Ebay for blue shoes,
bought two pairs but settled on the pretty cut out details of the
vintage Contessa shoes. I already had the silk corsage, picked up
from one of the beautiful vintage stores on Columbia Road.

I then dreamt up the wallpaper for the backdrop and voila...
