Style Watch - Maritza Rodridguez

Maneandchick featured this young lady on their blog a few weeks ago. I love her style in this picture. Here is more about her from the Maneandchick blog:

Meet Maritza Rodridguez a full time student and model who has been natural her whole life. Here's what Martitza had to say about her hair care regimen: "I wash my hair once a week.

It Happened!!!

When I was a young girl I would obsess over my mother’s magazine collection. I loved the fashion magazines but I loved the interiors magazines more. I must admit that my all-time favourite magazine was and always will be Australian Vogue Living. I would admire the beautiful homes and clever creative people featured in Vogue Living every month and I would dream {like many young girls} of the possibility one day, of my own appearance in my much-adored magazine.

This month my long withstanding dream has come true and I am beside myself with excitement and pride. I never really thought my work would be good enough to make the VL cut but someone down there thought it was.

I would like to extend a very big thank you to stylist and writer Catherine Shields and photographer Simon Kenny and of course, thank you Vogue Living for saying yes.

PS. Today I created the tablescape in the top 3 images {this is part of our new display at Black & Spiro} using the VL cover as inspiration. I hope you like it.

Black & Spiro Today

Along with stuffing lots of custom made cushion covers for client orders today, the girls and I have been enjoying opening up lots of boxes of new stock for the shop. One of my favourite new things is the small collection of colourful Chinese boxes we have which I took a photo of above. They are sitting on top of a new favourite fabric of ours which we will be hanging in our front showroom display in the coming weeks.
