Overture


I have been wondering whether I could possibly pull off the high waisted vintage denim cut offs for a while now, and so i decided to make a lesser version of the classic Levi's ones with an old pair of jeans my mum gave to me. So.. here they are..they are not as high waisted as the ones im after, But i think i might get some old Levi 501's on ebay and cut them myself! Im wearing these shorts with a RICK OWENS top!!! thats right, RICK OWENS. My absolute favourite designer. I know its only a simple top but it feels sooooo good. I managed to find it on ebay for an absolute bargain. I'm also wearing a sleeveless biker jacket I picked up at a jumble sale a while ago and vintage leather boots.

Im excited to say I have been named as 'blogger of the week' on weardrobe.com, which is a great extra bonus to being in their top 100 bloggers! So thanks to the people at weardrobe for that!

Seeing as most of my recent posts have been outfits, here are a couple of pretty pictures from in my inspiration folder. They are by photographer Alex Covo who I discovered on dripbook.com.

Faded Dreams








Thankyou so much for the wonderful response the photos from yesterday got! Ebn has been checking out all your comments and he is really pleased to see such a great response. I thought seeing as everyone enjoyed the previous ones I would post some more stills from another scene! So here they are. These ones were taken as the light was fading so they are very grainy which personally I am a fan of! It was very cold at this point though - I wouldn't recommend twirling around in a halter neck evening gown on an ice cold winters evening! x

edit: Just thought I would add for anyone commenting about the dress - Its actually my mothers from when she was in her 20's and it fits beautifully! It's even more elegant and stunning in person.

Where The Wild Roses Grow





These are all stills from a film my boyfriend, Ebn, Has made! There are loads more of other scenes so I will post another set tomorrow. I really love them and am very proud of his gorgeous photography. I'm going to try and help him set up a blog simply for posting photos at some point so will let you all know if this happens. For now though, you can hype is first attempts on lookbook!

This cute litte knitted sailor bib jumper was another bootsale find for only 50 pence! I think it might be hand knitted and therefore a one off! Not too sure about yellow for my skin tone though so I may part ways with this one via my ebay account soon.. So if anyone is interested keep checking my ebay stuff! x

A Pocketful Of Posies



I went to a car boot sale this morning ( For those of you who dont have car boot sales - its a sunday morning event here in Britain where people gather in a feild or carpark and sell their old stuff from the back of their cars! - it sounds odd I know!) But at this car boot sale I bought some great things including this gorrrgeeeous little vintage sweater for a mere £1! It was worth braving the freezing cold just for this!
