In My Life 'Rock the Poncho'





Brrrrr. How cold is it today lovelies?  I have the slow cooker on with a Hungarian Goulash (totally delicious)  bubbling away, the kitchen smells delicious and the house is warm and toastie.  Looking outside, it's grey skies and drizzling rain.  Pooh!  Rowan and I have to brave it I, we, me have an appointment to get a brief to style a gorgeous two year olds' bedroom, in a big old house in Paddington, in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.    I have so many ideas, of course it will be vintage with loads of character as this little miss and her mum are big on style.   More about that later..........
In the meantime the thought of wrapping my doona around myself before I brave the grey day is very appealing...


Vision.........


Chanel, don't I look great

I need a poncho!!! ASAP

A colourful and cosy poncho is perfect for a day like today.  The brights to brighen your day and the cozy part to make braving it bearable!  AND the poncho has been making it's way back on the catwalk for A/W 12....I've browsed the net looking at some possibilites.......



Little Joe Woman  My favourite, and sadly not in the budget

Chloe  I would die for this (well not really die)  pretend I don't like it at all, so totally not in the budget.

I think making one will be loads of fun so here a few crochet patterns here and some knitted patterns here but I'm leaning towards sewing this pattern here, super easy and I can make one for every day of the week.  I'll keep you posted!

  5. Sorry, but it's been boiling here today, the UK has finally had a few days of nice weather. That said, it will doubtless be freezing again by the weekend and the little Joe poncho would be my choice too ;-)

    1. Hi Gillian, enjoy hose warm days, they only last a while I hear. AT least you have plenty of time to find your perfect poncho for when it gets cooler. x

  7. As promised, I am popping over and checking out your blog too! Thanks for calling over my way.
    I'm sure I'll be calling back quite often, especially if I get to see more of the stylings that you will be doing in that bedroom in Paddington! I'm sure it will be divine. Sounds fun!
    Thankfully I'm still acclimatising from down south, so I'm finding the days still quite warm,
    much to everyones else's disgust, because they, like you are freezing! lol
    So no need for any ponchos for me yet, they do look very nice. Go on, why not spoil yourself and go the the Little Joe Woman one, that's my pick too! Love the colours.
    Have a great day Roberta.
