Running out the house...

 

As do most people, I tend to rush around in the morning (scream, shout and cajole furry and non-furry things). There for my appearance generally gets a quick glance as I run through (remembering to open it) the front door, which is why I have placed mirrors (obviously helpful to glance in to...) but also a wee selection of jewels. These are there either to enhance an outfit or on occasion detract from it!

Snip Snip & Cocktails...

I love vintage clothing, I collect vintage clothing and its not often that I chop or change it... However as much as I loved this dress I wasn't going to wear it full length.

All brilliant but I'm funny about bracelets. I love them but always find it hard to get a bracelet to fit (skinny wrists). So I have come up with the easiest way to make them into necklaces with out actually doing anything! and if I would like to use them as bracelets later, well, I can...

Washed,Worn & Slightly Distressed...

I have many an obsession but one in particular is that I love old, worn, second-hand, overly washed, slightly-might be ready to throw out t-shirts. So there for if I buy new then it has to be something that has a quick chance of fading and looking distressed (not I imagine what manufactures, suppliers and brands want to hear...).
