Creative day in Wales

Last week we had a lovely creative day at Joy Butlers studio in Wales. We used ceramic paints to decorate reclaimed china pieces and of course there was lots of tea and cake as usual.

Using ink and water to create unique designs

Close up details of the paintings, we loved the vibrant colours.

A box full of foraged mushrooms picked from the surrounding hills.

We had lunch outside and luckily the sun was shining for us!

There were lots of pretty flower boxes everywhere

Tea anyone? The ceilings were full of rows of antique teacups, what a great idea!

Around the workshop

Joy's daughter Ruth makes beautiful jewellery out of the reclaimed teacups and plates.

The garden was amazing, there were so many pretty flowers everywhere!

Joy's lovely house and studio

Afternoon tea and biscuits, because you can never have too much tea!

We made little concertina books full of ideas and we loved using the vibrant inks.

Thank you to Ruth and Joy for a lovely day out, we had such an inspiring time!

London Fashion Week

Here at Belly Button we have loved this years London fashion week! Here are some of our favourite looks from Maria Grachvogel.

All of these gorgeous outfits are from the Spring/Summer 2014 range and we just love everything!

We loved the pastel shades for Spring and Summer and the floaty chiffon fabric,especially the duck egg blue!

Another of our favourite designers was Vivienne Westwood. We always love her choice of colours and patterns. A lot of Vivienne's pieces were very floral and here at Belly Button we do love anything floral!

We loved the bright colours and use of colour blocking in Roksanda Ilincic's dresses, they are perfect for Spring and summer!

We can't wait for next years London Fashion Week and to see the trends for 2015.

What was your favourite trend for Spring and summer 2014? We would love to know!
