Fascinators, Heiresses and Penthouses

Remember the wedding I mentioned? No, not the Royal Wedding! The one that Woody, darling daughter, had been invited to not only be a flower girl at but also a reader (Corinthians 13 1-13). Well, the girl did good and of course I gave as many tips as any Drama school trained mother would! Needless to say she used lots of vocal muscularity and lent a rainbow of colour to the words :) Hubby and I were/are very, very proud parents.

But yes, yes, on to what I wore! I did consider 'doing' a dress because weddings = dresses, no? No! I understand that at times, it feels like the easiest style solution when faced with a 'proper' occasion to attend (such as a wedding). However, separates can work just as beautifully and look just as effortless as a dress. Especially when perfectly accessorised, as I hope this set proves.

The peacock/pheasant fascinator, a stunning bespoke piece by Liz Dominey, ( featured here) and jewellery, as chosen by hubby, from an extensive collection (mostly gifts from him) completed the look.

We shall be turning these images into a MCB Style-Book which can all be viewed by clicking here.

I have been handing out a few, okay a lot, of the new cards we have had printed at every networking opportunity. The business cards look so seriously professional that the very act of owning them MAKES me feel ordained a proper blogger and I would like to say a huge hello to all that have found MCB by following the URL. So, to my new readers, I bid you welcome and I hope you stay a while, even better take a moment to introduce yourself in the comment field.

White Milk & Candy Drops

I starred in a music video once. Well, when I say 'starred' I mean I was one of 3 featured girls. Okay, one of three girls aside from the main model that is. Okay, okay, I am not really selling my role here but I was proud enough of this cameo of mine that I listed it on my Spotlight page. Oh, the desperation of a young Actor I hear you say and you know what, I totally agree!

So, why so happy to claim these few seconds of fame? Well, aside from the ridiculous call time (7am) and 10hrs spent on set in Forest Hill, not only did I make the final cut but you could actually see that it was me (without having to pause and then press play whilst in pause mode - believe me, I have done this....).

My heart was gladdened to know that friend or foe could watch this and say to themselves "hey, that's M looking all stush in silver."

The video in question was called 'She's Candy' by Hound Dogs and my character was simply known as 'Silver'. Yep, pick yourself up off the floor, I was Silver!

Fast-forward a few years and I have a new 'Kandee' in my life. I introduce to you my newest pair of shoes. They are called Milk and I feel like the cat that got the cream with these babies on my feet.

The headpiece is a OOAK that I commissioned and I would do it no justice to tag a couple of lines on the end of this about it so watch this space.

Ladies, gentlemen and lady-boys, enjoy my milk!

Shoes: Milk by Kandee
Blazer: Twenty8Twelve
