kaye + mahaila in Berlin


mahaila made items: 
Kaye's 1/2 circle skirt and mahaila's pencil skirt

This was our second shoot together! The first being in Australia (here) and the second being in Berlin. Kaye visited us for a whirl wind 2 weeks... where unfortunately the weather was not all that fantastic, so we were fairly unmotivated to take photos whilst exploring the city.On one of the last days we made our way to one of the many green spaces here in Berlin for the shoot.

I teamed my chequered pencil skirt (previously blogged here) with a secondhand Humana blouse, which has actually been home sewn. I love finding these handmade treasures:)
Kaye's 1/2 full length circle skirt (you can also make this with this tutorial) is made of silk chiffon. Silk chiffon can be difficult to work with and you will need to hang the skirt before hemming to check the fall. For this particular skirt you need at least 2.5 metres of fabric with 150m bolt length.

I had been dying to have a shoot with mahaila while I was in Berlin. We hadn’t done one together in so long!
Mahaila had made this circle skirt for me after I sent her a pic of a maxi skirt earlier this year. She fitted the skirt while I was in Berlin and I had a wonderful present to take back home. The flowy chiffon and pretty floral print is really something special.
I didn’t have much in my suitcase so I couldn’t style it quite the way I wanted to. When the weather gets a little warmer in Perth, I’ll be able to wear it exactly how I want, sky scraping heels and all!

  2. I love this - love the way the two so-different skirts go with your looks and somehow it all harmonises in the forest!

    Just found your blog thanks to Mahaila's comment on mine... I love the idea of a blog made between two women on opposite sides of the globe (and how magical to have posts where we see you both together!)
