60s dress and brogues: vintage via ebay
vintage briefcase: purchased from Eileen
socks: Zipia
I’ve been keeping an eye out for a very mod 60s dress on ebay/etsy but no such luck yet.
And my friend, Niki, got me talking about Why I Lomo on her online art community Xhatch! I’m with good company alongside two fantastic dudes who lomo as well, you can read our lomo stories here!
These tights, i have been coveting since i saw them on Rhiannon many many moons back. So when i received them from Modcloth i was over the moon! But then of course, i had to rip them that night. Slightly. Still wearable. Maybe for two more wears, we’ll see.
Dress is vintage from ebay, tights from Modcloth, F-Troupe jazz flats and vintage briefcase bag from clevernettle.
I interrupt posting of Bali photos with an outfit post. I’m way overdue on this and i feel so bad but the previous shots i had just didn’t encapsulate how awesome this dress makes me feel. (Think grumpy face, indoor shots)
Modcloth was very kind to let me pick out a few items and this ‘strawberry’ dress is one of it. I call it strawberry because the print reminds me of them. And i love how fitted the bodice is (or perhaps i’m just top heavy!). So I took the dress along with me to Bali and made sure i got photos!
Wearing my blue head tie from etsy
I apologise for the lack of footwear, i was running around in Havaianas anyway.
Thanks Lindsay, thanks Modcloth!
This was what i wore to the NDP Preview on Saturday. Running late + self-timer resulted in out of focus photo #1. But you get the idea! And photo #2, my new Jeffrey Campbell sandals which i love love <3.
I have those two lines hanging above our bed right now, in place of this poster that keeps falling off – no amount of blue tack keeps it staying put! And i can’t frame+hang it because our landlord wouldn’t be pleased with holes in his walls (boring~) but that’s okay i’ve come to terms with it now.
Anyway don’t you think it looks like a tribal queen’s collarpiece? Everytime i take a good look at it, i have the urge to use crayons to draw in some diamond-jewels, a great golden headpiece and i suppose a face to join it all up!
The whole point of this post is actually to ask if anyone would want one? I overestimated and made way too many triangles so now i have two extra strings of bunting. It’s nothing much really to say “hey giveaway!” but it’s a little too much bunting for my tiny home. So if you’d like one, leave me your email and i’ll send one over – wherever you are!
Also, Roberta Jane of Camp Comfort asked a wonderful bunch of bloggers to participate in her How I’d Wear It series, revolving around a cute pair of Topshop denim bottoms. My outfit is up on her blog today so do check it out! It was real fun, now i know why Polyvore exists.
