Days gone by...

So, just a week left until I officially say goodbye to my editorial assistant job, then a trip to Morocco with my lovely boy, and then I start a new job as a FASHION ASSISTANT. Can't wait!! So excited.

My mood at the moment is something like this:

♥ Dreamy
♥ Celebratory
♥ Nostalgic
♥ Smiley
♥ Amazed

Much like these photographs by Yvette Inufio...

Ring ding-a-ling

I went and did it! After lusting after beautiful rings like this for what seemed like IONS...

... I sneaked into a wonderful vintage shop in Stokey while out househunting this morning and brought a clatter of pretty, bright and pearlescent rings to scatter over my fingers like an old cat lady.

Ali G, take that!

US Vintage dream

I'm a sucka for vintage shops. I could happily browse for hours - days even - among the musty-scented finery, gazing my magpie eyes over all manner of timeless garments - dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes, jewellery, hats, undies (NOT knickers!)...

When I was in Paris, my boyfriend and I tried to find this famous vintage shop from our guidebook, but when we eventually got to the address it was closed for the day. Sadness. Tavi's just put Polly Sue's Vintage, Maryland, US on her blog - it looks aces! Maybe I should write a worldwide vintage shopping book and will have to visit all these places for research? Hmmm... dreaming?

All I want for Christmas is...

La maison parfaite

This is the prettiest dreamboat house I have ever seen! It literally makes me melt inside. All crammed to the brim with the most beautiful, antiquated treasures, eclectic, vintage furniture, and off-set by sumptuous hues of slate and duck egg blue on the heavily adorned walls… Sublime.
