Oh you pretty things


For the last week Wallpaper Rose has been under maintenance, it's been a long battle with html and css - neither of which I understand (really, it's a complex code of gobbledegook and I'm in awe of anyone who can understand it properly) but the site went live yesterday afternoon and this is the new look. The screen shots are a bit crappy, but it does look better in person.
There are still a few changes I want to make, but the site being down for a week seemed quite long enough, so I'll make those as I go (if I even can) when I have the time. I wanted something that seemed a bit cleaner, more elegant and a little less cute-sy.
Hopefully I've achieved that - I'm really pleased with the way that it looks, which is such a relief as at one point I really thought I was going to have to give up and revert back to the old design it was going that badly! I guess the next step is to attack this blog to make them match.

FEATURED: Little Fille

Cosette
As per usual I have grand plans about blogging, I have an idea, mentally plan it and then never write it. A perfect example would be Little Fille's new Winter 2011 collection. I saw photos some time ago via Mari's facebook, then started further coveting when she released her online publication (an amazing contraption) and it's taken until now for me to share it with you. These are a few of my favourites.

Eloise
Mathilde
And low and behold, when I didn't think it could get any better Mari makes peter pan collars. (Possibly my most favourite thing - after polar bear cubs and peanut butter and jam sandwiches...) It's something I had a go at a few months ago and failed miserably - trust me, you should see the prototypes.

If you're not familiar with Little Fille or just want to see the entire collection take a look here. Coveting too?
