Bringing the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk to your living room!
During this time of quarantine while we can't attend live events, shows, travel or even easily navigate public spaces - we thought what better way to stay connected than by sharing some of our favorite events and shows with you all.
So here is our first.... one of our FAVOURITE designers Dolce & Gabbana... and one of their most spectacular fashion shows. Sit back.. or dress up... and pretend that we are all there together FRONT ROW! And we will share cocktails afterwards and enjoy the sunset.
Love to all! xxxxxxx

Stronger Together
To our dearest friends,
Now more than ever - we want to stay connected and reach out to all of you during this difficult time. How things have changed!
In the space of only a few weeks we have found ourselves in such a new environment of isolation and distance. But we feel that this current situation has also in some way made us closer to each other than we have been for a long time. Even though we all spend our lives racing around from one thing to the next; work, family commitments, social events, club events - constantly surrounded by people and interacting for hours each day - how much quality time do we get to spend on each activity before our minds are already onto the next commitment?
In our own world here at Miss Rose Sister Violet the last year has certainly seen us grow busier and busier - a mountain of new projects started, more and more travel commitments, more time away from home, more and more energy spent on racing from one thing to the next.... more... more... more. It's easy to feel that with more commitments you are partaking MORE in life - when in actual fact you so easily can end up giving LESS of yourself to each event and activity.
So in this time of isolation we have actually found some peace and space to re-focus on the things in life we value most. As cliche as it sounds - we have found time to stop and smell the roses again. Even in this difficult time of uncertainty there is still much joy and peace to be found. In more family time; more solitude with one's own thoughts; more time to reconnect with friends; more time in the garden; more time to start the projects that have been sitting on shelves for months.... there is peace and happiness and joy.
Yes there is much to be concerned about and for many the uncertainty for future safety and financial security is a very real issue. But if we all support each other, if we all move forward from a place of love and not fear - we WILL survive this rocky period. All things pass - and this too we will survive.
We hope all of you, our dear friends, are safe and able to find some peace during these days of isolation.
And as always, we are sending love to everyone! xxxxxx

Monday Motivation!

Focus for 2020.
We have a new focus for 2020 and we would like to invite you to join us on our path towards a new way of existing.
Our word for the year is ACTION and our new focus is to be BOLD and TRUE to who we are. Live passionately but with PATIENCE. Fearlessly show our true colors to the world; something we have been guilty of neglecting to do this last year.
This modern world celebrates more so the "trending image" of the time rather than an honest more raw existence. Our televisions, movies and magazines show only the beautiful and extraordinary. Our social media feeds bombard us with people "living the dream". With such a fast paced one-sided view of people and their achievements, image, lifestyle it's so hard to not compare oneself and feel overwhelmed and a little bit lost. We certainly feel as though we lost ourselves over the past year and amongst the struggle to achieve and be something to everybody - we feel we more so became nothing to nobody!
So here we are at the start of 2020 - feeling very much like we are at an exciting crossroads, not knowing exactly which way to turn first but with a burning realisation that the TIME IS NOW for new beginnings.
We have decided that we are going to find our roots again and create more in keeping with what we love and not what we THINK people will love. We are going to try to inspire more, share more, relax more, laugh more and create a world where we can reconnect to what truly makes us happy.
We would love for you to join us on our journey!
