Lucky Liquor Pop Up


At the end of the month I will be packing up my home studio and invading the basement of Edinburgh's stylish cocktail bar, Lucky Liquor Co for a two day Gentleman’s Pop Up Shop/Studio.
You will have the chance to come in and have a bow tie made to order. Peruse prints and accessories by talented local designers and illustrators. Learn how to mix your own cocktails and sample the in house ale. We will also have our men’s range, and will be introducing our new fabric design, for sale and on display. 
Hope to see you there!

1st Birthday!


A year ago today, me and my husband sat in our studio and, with a lot of nerves and a lot of excitement, clicked a button to open the doors to my exclusive online boutique

In that year I have had an amazing response to the collection and was recently awarded the Regional Runners Up Prize for the Best Young Business in Scotland!! We have received fantastic press coverage and, most importantly, have had fantastic feedback from YOU. 

As a thank you to my customers, old and new, I am offering FREE SHIPPING for the week and I may even add some discounts in too. 

To claim your reward, please enter the code "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" at checkout. 

Thanks for a great year and Happy First Birthday Fiona Heather!

Haute Cature


So what happens when you run into your friend who works as a magazine editor and drink one too many cocktails? You end up agreeing to make clothes for a feline fashion show that's what. 

After a "hillarious" email back and forth we were ready to offer up our customer faves, in cat size, to the talent. Sadly, Miss Kitty was a bit of a diva and not in the zone on the selected day. No amount of cat treats and coaxing could get her to pose properly, this was the only image that DNAnderson was able to get. There is a Fiona Heather birdy collar under all that fluff we promise! 

Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We made a lot of cat related jokes and we will be recasting with a more suitable candidate soon. You can see more of the kitty pieces and other behind the scenes teasers if you follow us on Instagram!

Bonnie Bridesmaids




So, on 4th May 2013 I got Hitched in the Highlands! Although I wasn't brave enough to make my own dress, I did design and make my bridesmaid dresses. 
My girls are all so individual that I wanted to make them something true to their own style. The wedding itself was a pretty relaxed, Springtime garden party so we echoed that by choosing fresh, complimenting, mismatched colours for the dresses. With a bit of input from the dolls themselves, I made a classic box pleated dress, with stunning slash back in pale blue for my cousin. A pale, dove grey, backless dress for my sis. Finally, a simple, unstructured, peach dress. Again, with a slash back, for my fave gal. 
To tie us all together I used a delicate Chantilly lace as detailing across the dresses. This lace also featured on my dress and I really love the sentiment that they all had a piece of the wedding gown with them, as opposed to just matching the flowers.
I have also shared the mood board I put together in the early stages of designing and pooling my MANY ideas. I hope you like them, I’m sure you can agree the girls looked absolutely radiant and I can’t thank them enough for all of the support over the day and days leading up to our beautiful wedding. 
My dress was made by my friend and (handily) amazing designer Rowan Joy. You can take a look at her work over here. marks the spot.
