Winter Edition of My Little Jedi Online Magazine

Welcome to the winter issue of My Little Jedi magazine. I am thrilled to share the forth issue which is bursting with amazing party inspiration.  Firstly, I would like to thank our fabulous contributors and devoted readers for your continuous support.

Most of you would know that at the start of each season we provide each contributor with a different theme and they put their own unique spin on each event. I am constantly amazed by all the beautiful contributions that land in my inbox. The last issue had a rustic look and feel and this season we have chosen a completely different theme…It’s all about glitz and glamour so prepare yourself to be dazzled! We had an absolute ball at the last photo shoot which was held at The Garden on Forest venue, I feel very privileged to have had the chance of working again with Tanya of Tindale Images and Dewi of Sweet Bloom Cakes.

Winter is the season to hibernate but that doesn’t mean you should stop creating and celebrating. It’s certainly the right season to rug up; drink your favourite vino whilst eating scrumptious roasted chestnuts. Well, this is what I have been doing lately, particularly late at night while everyone is asleep. I hope this winter issue will inspire you to celebrate your special events in style. Rug up, make yourself a cup of camomile tea, put your feet up and enjoy reading! xx

Autumn Edition of My Little Jedi Online Magazine

Welcome to the autumn edition of My Little Jedi online magazine. With the success of the last two issues, I could have not asked for a better outcome and it’s all because of your amazing support and encouragement. I have certainly reached my goal, since the launch in September 2011, we have reached over 90000 readers and almost 3 million page views and amazingly it continues to grow every day.

What I wanted to do, more than anything is to create a magazine that reflects my own unique style and also offer great content for our readers to enjoy! I am so blessed to be surrounded with so many passionate and talented people and I believe this really reflects on this current issue.

I would like to thank each and every contributor for giving all their love and dedication to their beautiful work. When we step back and consider the ultimate purpose of entertaining is to bring people together especially the ones that are very close to our hearts. This edition is all about celebrating some of the most important and precious events in our lives, such as Easter and Mother’s Day. Grab yourself a cup of tea and I hope you feel inspired.

Thank you for reading and have a fabulous Easter! xx

Easter Family Brunch

What a better way to start the autumn season than with a lovely family Easter brunch, complete with all the trimmings as it very much part of our family tradition.  At Easter time we have a family get together for my father’s names day. When I was a child, Easter was always celebrated at our house with our immediate family and close friends. I believe Easter season has to be one of the most wonderful times of the year. What makes is even more special this year is that my son is old enough to understand what the Easter bunny and egg hunt is all about.

The concept of having a swing table has been pondering in my head for quite some time now and I really wanted to execute it. Finding the perfect tree to hang the table was a challenge and after searching for the perfect location, I chose the beautiful park overlooking the water at Lilli Pilli. The look I was going for was simple, relaxed and chic so I tried to incorporate my love for vintage and rustic décor throughout, in keeping within the theme. The twig wreath centerpiece tied in nicely with the theme and also highlighted the lovely blooms and made them pop. It’s no secret, the cross stitch fabric is one of my favourite and I had to use it as a table runner. While searching for the right dinnerware I came across the beautiful silhouette plates from BHLDN and I was instantly smitten. To go with the rustic décor I used gold plated cutlery, wooden slabs, bow tie napkins and watercolour menu’s. It all came together beautifully at the end.

I feel so blessed to be able to work with Dewi and Nicole again. I kept the styling simple and organic which ensures that nothing distracts you from the mouth-watering rustic cakes and sweet bunny macarons made with love by the talented Dewi which were displayed beautifully in the vintage mirrored cabinet. And after every shoot, when it’s all over and the last of the cake crumbs hit the floor, we are left with the most amazing photos, thanks to the uber talented Nicole who captured every single detail magnificently. I am over the moon with that out Easter table setting was featured on Amy Atlas today!  

Have a wonderful Easter! xx

Be still my {Ombre} heart...

Every once in a while I come across a trend that I just adore and this inspirational board is dedicated to my latest obsession: {Ombre}! Ombre is a gradated blend of colours from light to dark, but who knew a fade could be so pretty…

I cant wait to show you the beautiful cake Dewi made for the front cover of My Little Jedi magazine! Until then, have a gorgeous weekend xx

Oh Happy Day...

I can’t even begin to tell you or even describe how excited, happy, overwhelmed, delighted I am right now! I am bursting with joy and excitement as I have finally pursued my dream and turned it into a reality! As most of you already know last night I launched my very first issue of My Little Jedi Online Magazine and the response I have received is absolutely amazing.

I would like to thank every single one of you and also let you know how much I appreciate your continuous support. A good friend of mine posted this on facebook yesterday “the most rewarding accomplishment in life is finding your own niche” and this is so true…for me anyway! My Little Jedi Online Magazine means so much to me; it is truly a labour of love! An outlet where I can express my passion, creativity and inspiration and share it with all of you.

And the excitement doesn’t end here, this morning when i woke up and I had an email from Amy Atlas’ team congratulating me on the launch of my magazine and also advised me that Aniken’s party has been posted. The countless hours spent working on the online magazine as well as planning Aniken’s party simultaneously have finally paid off!

I will never forget the look on Aniken’s face when he saw the candy bar for the very first time, for me it was literary like winning the “Golden Ticket”! Even though he will not remember this very special day when he is older I still wanted to create something special just for him which I didn’t have as a child. And I must say that I entirely enjoyed styling his party and sourcing all the different sweets, candy and props which made his party complete.

The future is looking very bright for My Little Jedi and I can’t wait to immerse myself into planning my second issue. I am in a process of finalizing the topics and cannot wait to continue working with so many talented women. If you have any queries regarding advertising rates or becoming one of our preferred contributors, please send us an email ~ mylittlejedi@hotmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Love
Vesna xx
