Winter/Winter

 So my lovelies my Winter/Winter collection is here!  Stay tuned for more pics and their availability in my shop but here's a few pics of each to whet your appetites:

Lush deep black velvet Joan wiggle dress

Forever Summer V-backed dress

WinterBerry fully lined cape

WinterBerry 3/4 sleeve pencil dress

Melbourne Black Cowl Neck dress

Crimson, Fur Trimmed Big Bad Red full length cloak

Aren't they lush?!  I am quite excited about them if I do say so.  This shoot was fantastic, I had my gorgeous models (Nat, Maya and Anna), Renee did her glorious magic with the make up and hair and this was my first shoot with Cesur, of Cesur Sanli photography (you have to check out his beautiful work here) and I couldn't be happier or expect a more professional turn out.  Thank you all, you are forever in the LeahMay good books!

LeahMay Launch Fun Times

So in very exciting and yay news LeahMay had our first event at the end of last month.  Being a (mostly) online business it hadn't really occurred to me that such an 'in the flesh' event was an option until my dear friend Christina (also my publicist) opened my eyes.  Thus the LeahMay Winter/Winter Launch was conceived!  We chose the Winter/Winter theme as I am going from one winter (here in lovely Melbourne) to another (over in lovely Edinburgh) and wanted pieces that could transition.*

So with friends of LeahMay we celebrated at Little Markov bar with bubbly, fabulous clothes from my new collection (if I do say so myself) and little goodies to take home (LeahMay handmade scented drawer pillows).  I got to introduce the LeahMay people who are important to me to each other - friends, customers, bloggers (yay Lilli and Nyx), photographers - and we all got to try on capes (one of the key elements of my collection), take photos and chat.  I am declaring the night a huge success so thank you everyone who was involved/came along!

Here are some lovely pics of the lovely people at my lovely event:

The Winter/Winter pieces will be up in my shop within the week and there will be sneak peeks and specials announced on my facebook page and twitter beforehand.



*That's right peeps, in August I leave Australia for an adventure in the UK and Europe but fear not the shop will stay open and I will be sewing away on the other side of the globe!
