Whenever a festive occasion approaches some of feel the need to dress our animals as...well...other animals. Some owners even seem to make a hobby of it and of course there is a website devoted to photos of their costumed critters.

 We are not encouraging you to put fancy pants on your pets, but... http://animalsdressedasotheranimals.tumblr.com.

This tree has probably seen more Christmases than I have! Subsequently it has an appearance not unlike that of a balding parrot...but we do love the old thing! Right down to its plastic faux wood base. Aww.

We have plenty of shiny nic' nacs to get it looking snazzy and classy as it ever was, from little owls and hanging tin birds to teeny mushrooms and shiny strawberries and more. Swing by the shop and decorate your tree to match this dapper oldie in time for Christmas! xxx

Summer is on its merry hot way so its time to start sorting out your new bathing wear/swimmers/cozzie/togs/bathers/bikini - well what ever y'all want to call it!

This summer we are super excited to be stocking the beautiful Surface too Deep swimwear designed by the lovely Wellington lass Esther Bryant-Lindsay.  All the swimmers are limited runs of the highest quality and made from Italian Lycra printed in Australia which is exclusive to Surface too Deep.  

We have 3 different styles available and 2 colour-ways, essential black and the divine Lilac Nights.  The Goddess Wrap is a stunner one piece with cross over open back and subtle side cut outs.  Now when it comes to bikinis I'm a fan of high waisted pants, panties AND swimmers so these Birds Fly high waisted bloomers are a mega hit in my book!  There is also bow across the back for the cute factor (and the help distract from any derrière issues one may have!).  There is a choice of 2 different tops to go with your new high waisted bloomers...the Goddess Wrap tank which can be worn 3 different ways! (winning!) as a halter, a bandeau, and as a shouldered tie front - us girls do love versatility.  The other bikini top is the Pixie Staple which can be worn 2 ways twisted for a more triangle bikini or un-twisted for a crop top look.  They also come with a nifty zip up clear plastic bag to store'em in when they are wet! handeeeee!

Goddess Wrap One Piece - $267 (avail in black & lilac night)

Pixie Staple Top - $127 (avail in black & lilac night)

Birds Fly High Bloomer - $105 (avail in black & lilac night)

Goddess Wrap Tank  $159 (avail in black)

We have super limited stock so make like Tom and Cruise into Madame Fancy Pants asap to try on your fancy new Surface too Deep swimmers!

Oh my! Its getting exciting around MFP with packages arriving daily.  Last week all our gorgeous Christmas Cards and advent calenders arrived.  Today a bunch of lovely journals, books and stationary was un boxed.  

A favourite illustrator at Madame Fancy Pants is Susie Ghahremani, this neat journal is filled with her whimsical drawings of owls, birds and squirrels and waiting to be accompanied by your ideas and musings.  Another exciting unpack was this Cant sleep, write now journal which has ideas for writing and places to write random thoughts for those who find it hard to drift off of wake up with brain a buzzing.  And if you're a sweet fiend like myself then you will be DROOLING over the yummy recipes that are tucked up inside The Chocolate Deck and The Cupcakes decks boxes.  YUM!  For the lads who want to be gents The Perfectly Dressed Gentleman could be his perfect companion.  When to wear a suit? What kind of neck tie when? and lots of interesting and funny facts about menswear....did you know that merino can bend on itself 20,000 times where cotton can only bend 3,200....?!

My last super exciting goody that was unpacked this morning was the AMAZING Design Sponge at Home book.  I have been an avid reader/follower of Miss Grace Bonney's truly super blog for many years (and even had one of my wee projects featured - EXCITE!!!) and now am pretty darn happy to see the many years of great home design, DIY, home hints, flowery arranging and before and afters (my fave!) filling one handy dandy book...I know whos getting this for Christmas this year!

Speaking of Christmas, its 7 weeks away! yup thats kinda soon eh? 

My challenge to you is to start thinking about Christmas, what it means to you, who you want to spend it with, what you NEED to eat on Christmas day (I HAVE to have custard from a box..you know the stuff..mnn) and who you want to give gifts to.  Gift giving should be thought about carefully, so start looking out for goodies for those special folk in your life.  Gifts need not be expensive, some may be home made, remember that its more special for you AND the giftee when given from the heart and certainly not rushed!
