Ok, what a whirl wind the past few weeks have been, sewing 24/7 literary, photo shoots, model fittings, dying fabric, buying 14 pairs of shoes, getting books printed and marking day. 

Yesterday was finally the day when all that hard work, and sleepless night came to and end, for a short while. i presented my label ELLEQUE and range BALMY WHISPERS to the marking panel, which i was so nervous about, but so happy for it to showed off. the marking went great, the models were great, and i am so in love with my collection.  

So this will be the first of many blogs. i want to show u all, my photo shoot, then marking day, then photos that i took for another friends collection, and then exhibition and then parade, ohhhh its going to be so busy but so much fun. The clothes and jewellery wont be for sale till the 1st of december, 

but as of then everything shall be available to buy. 

Hope you enjoy looking into what my world has been full of for the past year. xxx

NAME CHANGE

 i am so attached to my blog name Balmy Whispers, and I am sad to see it go, but its for the best. Due to starting up my clothing fashion label, its only proper to have my blog with the same name.

But it wont be the last you hear of BALMY WHISPERS as the name is in-fact the name of my up coming summer 2011/12 collection. 

 WELCOME to ELLEQUE.

 So it the first day of SPRING, YAY finally it has come. I have had a countdown happening in anticipation for this day, and i am so happy to wake up to a beautiful clear blue sky with the slightest breeze. 

Now this is a pretty big post, the biggest i think i've done by far since i started this 

lovely blog less then a year ago.

Due to being the first day of SPRING, i wanted to introduce you all to SUMMERBLOSSOM

One if the cutest/ most stylish and adorable head accessories label that i have come across. I have been hearing about this lovely label for over a year but only just came to my realisation of how much i love them the other day, when i saw there most recent photo shoot A FAERY'S SONG.  

And am so excited to say i shall be featuring them in my upcoming collection 

BALMY WHISPERS...

So as a result i wanted to share with you this lovely label, for those of you who don't know them already.

I have included there spring summer 10/11 photo shoot ( which i adore) 

and there spring summer 11/12 photo shoot. ( a faery's song, which is beyond beautiful)

 i do hope you all fall in love with them like i have, and all the information can be found below.

I met a lady in the meads,

Full beautiful - a faery's child,

Her hair was long, her foot was light,

And her eyes were wild.

I made a garland for her head,

And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;

She looked at me as she did love,

And made sweet moan.

I set her on my pacing steed,

And nothing else saw all day long,

For sidelong would she bend, and sing

A faery's song.
