Invite with Style + Giveaway!

+++++ THE STORY +++++

I have to introduce everyone to an up and coming creative designer Ms Anna Matjasec from Invite with Style. We all love knowing more about our local talents and this is her story...

1. How did Invite with Style begin?

Invite With Style was born not long after the arrival of my daughter Sofia. I had spent 10 years in the industry as a graphic designer & had decided it was time to create something for myself. So when Sofia was about 2 months old the design frenzy began! and it hasn't really stopped since.

2. Which is your favourite invitation?
I honestly love them all, I wouldn't show them to the world if I wasn't proud of them BUT if I had to choose, I do love JAYDEN & MIA! [mina: no joke, these are my future kids chosen names!!]

3. Which designers, artists or creative people inspire you?

I am inspired by an art project I work on every day called 9626deventures. The blog is a joint project between myself & my cousin Annoushka who is also a designer.

Each day we take time out of our lives to find something creative to share with each other (& the world). Annoushka inspires me with her beautiful photos & creative eye and she sends me pretty pictures every single day. I am very lucky. [mina: its a wonderful idea and I know that it was featured on Frankie Blog!!]

4. What is the most chic item you own?

Chic is difficult when you have a toddler! But I adore my vintage english penny pendant & necklace given to me by my best friend who lives in the UK.

5. Lastly, what is next for Invite with Style?
I only hope to get bigger & better, with more of my invitations being stocked in online stores & shops and of course, I want to continue making the world a happier place, one invite at a time.

Make sure you visit her website to see all her amazing invites for baby showers, birthdays, and weddings or get her to design one just for you!
