tea party.

we cant think of a much better way to spend a spring sunday than like this! G. jones helped her friend Belle welcome her new son Quinn into the world at this delightful naming ceremony garden party. Belle is an events coordinator, so there's no wonder the whole thing looked and tasted spectacular. we just love all the little details like the matching floral cups and saucers, the beautiful yellow roses and fresh strawberries. one of the best touches G. jones thought was that when all the guests arrived they had to find their name tag and on it was your name meaning. such a lovely addition to carry on the theme and a really good ice breaker in talking to new people. so as we are still pretty new we thought we would let you in on our name meanings.

I. jones - Meek, Pure

T. jones - Gift of God

G. jones - Watchful]

and our last name - jones the son of Jone, the Welsh pronunciation of John (gracious gift of Jehovah).

if you live in the Byron Bay area Belle's company Bellissimo Events can help in the coordination of your next special event whether that be a wedding, corporate function or party. you can find out more at her website here.

what does your name mean? do you think it has an effect on your life or personality? we'd love to know

street sweeper.

we spotted Shanti again in what seems to be his signature polka dot neck tie and this time he was wearing a red shirt with it's collar up and tailored green pants looking just as suave as ever. but it wasn't his colourful outfit or cowboy hat that caught our eye this time it was his amazing collection of vintage rings! what do you guys think of his style? do you love it as much as we do?


and just another quick reminder we have some great accessories and vintage pieces ending on our ebay tonight you can check them out or even bid here .

 Jordy Heart Ring

 
we know that these have probably been blogged about to death but we can't help but swoon over these Jeffery Campbell wedges and this Jordan Askill heart ring. Some other trends we are loving here at GI jones are neon bright nails, red lipstick and straw hats worn as this seasons fedora.


if you're loving Jeffery Campbell just as much as we are you can buy them in Australia at from Apex Shoes in sydney and melbourne or from their online store here.

G. jones seems to be having the most luck street sweeping great fashion and accessories. she spotted Mel from brisbane enjoying the sun at the beach hotel in byron bay on sunday. we love her fabulous thrifted vintage earrings the chevron zig zag reminds us of Missoni but with a retro 80's feel. we're also loving her tortoise shell Ray Ban wayfarers. they are such a timeless style and they look great with just about any outfit.
what do you guys think?

tusk.

after a busy weekend we are almost ready to put up a great new range of vintage accessories so we thought we would give you a sneak peek at a few items that will be available soon.

vintage tribal hoop earrings

vintage leather OROTON coin purse

vintage acetate scarf

vintage wooden tusk pendant

vintage sequin union jack bag

vintage red leather belt

our pick is the vintage wooden tusk it was such a great find. we spotted similar ones featured in the september 2010 issue of spanish Marie Claire. we are loving the layered tribal necklaces from their shoot as well as the great mix of fabric textures and patterns.
