Spring has Sprung

I am so thrilled the spring is finally here, with glimpses of beautiful weather over the past couple of weeks it just makes me want to throw out all my jumpers and trackies and throw on a simple sun dress and a pair of havaianas!

The spring/summer 2011 collections have some beautiful treats for us and have re-established our love for all things bright and colourful! Here are some of the pieces I hope to be adding to my girls wardrobes, and pairing together with some of our gorgeous 'chloe & ashley handmade designs' hair accessories!

And of course it wouldn't be spring without the beautiful flowers in bloom - here's a little of our inspiration... ( peonies - our fave!)

I hope you're all enjoying this beautiful first day of spring, wherever you are. Looking forward to sharing our new collection with you soon....

Feather Frenzy!!

We are absolutely LOVING all the feathers that have been featured on the fashion runways for the 2011/2012 Summer Collections. It has inspired us to create our own range of gorgeous feather headpieces suitable for girls of all ages.


Here's a little of our inspiration in pictures.....

Hello world of blogging...

Well I guess you could say we're a little slow on the whole blogging thing, but better late than never I say!
Where do I start!? My name is Victoria and I am a mother of two beautiful little girls, Chloe and Ashley. Whilst making the long drive home from the Gold Coast to Sydney my mum Linda and I decided to start up a small business of handmade hair accessories for girls. So with our serious "we can totally do that" attitude and a little creativity ( well a lot actually) Chloe & Ashley Handmade Designs was born.

We look forward to sharing our love of fashion, art and all things beautiful with our customers and fans. Thankyou for being a part of this journey with us. See you soon :)
