Cat Hero Hammill

Ok so this is something i really want to share with the world. My Fave Jewellery designer Cat Hammill is putting out the most beautiful individual Jewels i’ve seen, and which i can relate too. As they drip in Peace symbols & quirky charms. I was Lucky enough to receive a gold peace symbol necklace for my birthday. But unfortunately it discolored due to my skin type or fault. So i took it back to David Jones where the sale assistant wasn’t much help. I was pretty much told there was nothing they could do. They took down my name and number and within 10 minutes i received a call. It was Cat Hammill herself! I was star struck, and she was so pleasant and helpful. She explained to me that she was going to send me out a sliver necklace to see if the same thing would happen again. I was so over the Moon that she was sending a replacement but to my delight she sent me a Silver necklace, as promised, but also my gold necklace and 3 silver bracelets. If that’s not great customer service, i don’t know what is. I was so impressed because she really went out of her way, i was touched. So yeah Thank you Cat Hammill!!

I have like 10 pieces on my Christmas list

Check out her stuff, it’s so pretty http://www.cathammill.com.au/.

Peace out Pony & the seal x

Do the Drew

She inspires me in such a big way. Drew Barrymore gets better with age I hope that's the case for me too!




Pony & the seal feels pretty down that she hasn't had the time to blog her guts out. But has made a solid vow to keep up the good work. I have so many ideas I need to share, I'm busting at the seams. I can't wait so stay tuned guys.

Peace out Pony & the seal x

Pigeon Pride!

I blew my budget out a bit this week, but sometimes there is something you just can't live without!
I recently stepped into Pigeonhole Vintage in the city under strict rules not to buy anything. However, like I said, there was no way I'd be able to continue living without these beasts!
The whole experience was exactly as it should be, the sales assistant was very pleasant and helpful, and recommended these shorts, thankfully!
These vintage style shorts were made to be married to my pair of 50's espadrilles, and they make a very cute couple, perfect for a spring picnic.

Pony & the Seal wants to thank Pigeonhole for their very delightful existence, and I urge everyone to go and check out their very cool blog and website.

Stay classy planet earth!
Peace out.

p.s. Pony & the Seal will be back soon with their first VM gig! Stay tuned.

What's the time Mr Wolf?

This was just a quick one I wanted to share with you fine people today.
A bit of old school flavour and charm, thanks to an awesome gift I recently received.
Pocket watches are back baby!
Enjoy!
With love, peace out.
Pony & the Seal.

Seal & The City

Well what can I say my peeps, bargains just seem to fall in my lap sometimes, and coming across this sassy little purple number was no different. I picked it up for a cool $30, and had a distinct feeling that I'd seen the style before. And what do you know? It's a dead give away to the Halston number Sarah J Parker sports in Sex & The City 2, and it is hot! But I can't help but feel like they got ripped off!! This was a nice and cheap D.I.Y. look that you can do yourself, you'll find plenty of these non-designer pieces for reasonable prices if you just have a good look around. The fun is always in the hunt my people, so get out there and start digging.So this is my D.I.Y. Sarah J Parker inspired look. I gave it a bit of Pony & the Seal edge with a peace sign and another over-sized ring to finish it all off. My shoes were a lovely birthday gift from a good friend of mine at Staccato, I love them dearly and I think they go very well with this outfit, and are a match made in heaven with my Mimco clutch by it's side.
All my people, embark on a hunt for fashion bargains today, and get the look you want in no time.
Peace out.

Desperately Seeking Seal

The 80's produced a lot of awesome things, music, movies, and fashion. All of which combine perfectly in Desperately Seeking Susan, starring Madonna in her best days, in my opinion anyway. The fashion is amazing, the music is unbeatable, so naturally, I was inspired for this look.With this one, I decided to mix it up a bit, and go a bit crazy with the print and fabric combinations to capture that 80's rebellion and boldness. This included a pair of borrowed football socks, hows that for bold huh!This look felt so right, so natural, and fun, I walked into my wardrobe and this is what called out to me, channeling my inner 80's style child, Calvin Harris says it best, "I've got love for you if were born in the 80's!", oh and I do!
Desperately seeking style, fun and individuality.

LOOKBOOK.nu: "Urban battlefields of fashion " by Carly Leverett

Clucky for Clogs

I love that fashion can exist without rules, and that just because something is old, it is never out of fashion or less stylish. So I thought I'd resurrect the flower power inside me and bring it all to life, and express my inner hippie. It wasn't hard, and I think it looks fab, and you can do it too. Clogs are huge right now, I see them everywhere I go, but they can be wasted with a bad outfit, because people aren't sure how to style them, all it takes is a good look back in time, and it all comes together. Get inspired like I did from The Runaways, and don't ever be afraid to go there!

(Above: Sportsgirl -Black turban, black knee highs, tan clogs, white vintage top. Dotti - Denim Waist-coat. Op-shop - floral skirt.)
(Below: From Left: Sportsigrl - poppy dress, tan belt, black turban, knee high socks, sunglasses, and clogs. Pony & the Seal - Teapot necklace. As above. Op-shop - faux fur, printed top. Pierre Cardin - glow mesh bag. Sportsgirl - flairs, clogs. Pony & the Seal - cassette ring. Op-shop - jumper. Cotton On - shorts.) To get that 70s look all it takes is a pair of clogs, a rope headband/turban over long locks, a bad-ass pair of flairs or thigh high socks, and bold print that brings the flower power baby yeah!

Channel your inner hippie star child, and rock it like Pony & the Seal.
Peace Out!

The D.I.Y. Cure

D.I.Y. Part 3
I wanted to give the Body Armour I made a test run, and where better then the dangerous wilds of my backyard! I also wanted to showcase a bit of my own styling as well, which I like to be a bit diverse with, and not limit myself to certain styles. I was very inspired by Robert Smith. as I often am, and wanted to capture some of his edge. Sass &Bide are always in my mind as well, being one of my favourite designers, so I like to incorporate a bit of Sass in everything I do. Bare in mind, I am not a model, or a professional photographer, I'm just doing my thing, D.I.Y. til I die!

Mix it up, keep it edgy and always D.I.Y!

Peace out.

D.I.Y Part 2

D.I.Y Part 2
Wow! Today was a great day and I really feel like i've produced a piece that has created so much enjoyment for me! I don't know where this idea cropped up from for this delightful trio, but I'm glad it did. It was just one of those moments where the image cropped up in my head, and I just had to do it! So I went on a quest for materials, from ebay to red dot, and finally it was Kmart that provided me with the goods, the old hidden gold mine! And what's more, it only cost me a whopping $3!! Got out my trusty glue gun from it's holster and went town, and here were the results. So it's tea time all the time at the Pony & The Seal!
Body armour! A little past it's day perhaps, but i never leave home without it! Inspired by a recent purchase of a nice and chunky necklace, which resembled a chest plate/shoulder pad hybrid. My initial thought was to kick it old school and rock it 80's with some techno shoulder pads. But then I thought I'd take it that one step further, and get myself ready for battle. So check it out, and don't go venturing into today's urban battlefields of fashion without one! Once again, Do It Yourself peeps.

Peace out.

D.I.Y

So I'm a 21 year old lass that's working in the fashion industry. All day I'm exposed to new trends and styles. So I decided to make the most of all this knowledge I'm getting, and run with it on my own terms.
I'm all about the good old D.I.Y. if I want to do something, I do it, and that is what this, my first post on Pony & The Seal is going to be about, as it is so close to my heart.
All of us will know what it's like to wonder what something would look like, and what could look cool, but can get frustrated when we can't find what we are looking for, so why not DO IT YOURSELF! Do what I do, and take a $10 necklace from Diva's men's range, and turn it into a one off blingin' ring!The first day I unleashed this bad boy to the public, I was constantly asked where I got it from, and where others could get a hold of one.

peace out, we'll be back soon with a Tea Cup n Saucer ring!
