Sequined Beret

What do you think of think?

Will you wear this?

Blue and Lots of Patterns

My finds in our local Goodwill =)

So happy when I saw this patterned top.

I went to this vintage shop a while back, and they were selling this similar top for about $30.

In Goodwill, I snagged it for only $2.74 =)))

Yippie!

I got this dress for $3.74

Pretty isn't?

I heart the little details of the neckline.

Happy treasure hunting!

multi-colored scarf

I can't wait for my hair to grow and braid a multi-colored long scarf into my hair --- just like the girl above.

What do you think?

Miss E, your hair is long enough... why don't you see how it is =))) I think it'll look pretty - no?

*just a thought =)

"Girls just Want to Have Fun"

*My apologies, the original size did not fit, I had to mess with the Width and Height.

Oh and sometimes rummaging pays off.

From the local shop found with my mum.
She sure has some good eye that lady!
And I only paid 1.50 AUD (1 EURO, 1.40 USD)
True vintage too it is!

Love,

Treasures

I have a new lovely place to go to every first Sunday of the month.
For ages, I have been wanting to check this place out... Finally yesterday, we [Mum, Auntie, Ate Kat, & grandma] went there. It is called the Alameda Antique Show.

It was huge, row after row of treasures.
Speaking of which, here are my finds:

All leather shoulder bag. Made in Greece. Heart the color of the leather and the buckles. And the perfect size =)

This was placed on the ground, on top of a leather satchel. It must have been my fate to find this shoulder bag, because my eyes spotted it right away amidst of all the goodies/crap surrounding it.

Such a find! Really like this one =))) Heart the color and the dainty detail. All leather body and made in Italy.

I heart my Mum for haggling for me =) She amazed me.

I'd like to know more about buying vintage things. You're the expert, any tips?

Little Advice about (what else?) Fashion from Vanity Fair

Edith Head's Fashion Commandments

DON'T let your clothes be fitted too tightly.
Even a perfect figure looks better if it doesn't resemble a sausage.
Only bathing suits should "fit tight."

DON'T wear a date dress when you're arriving for a day's work at the office.
The dressy dress, the low-necked lacy blouse, the glitter sweater, all of the glitter category belong to after-dark.

DON'T be too different.
You don't want to dress like the herd, but you don't want to look like a peacock in a yard full of ducks. Being too much an individualist is not being well dressed.

DON'T feel that when you're going to a party you must look "dressed-up" ---
a simple dress is safer if there's a question of what to wear, and you will be much more comfortable simply dressed than overdressed.

DON'T be afraid to wear a becoming costume many, many times.
It's an old-fashioned idea that you haveto have a new dress for every occassion or party. Even if you have the money to do so, it isn't necessary. The modern approach is to change accessories.

Fashion Help

I haven't worn this skirt b/c I have no idea on how to dress it up. I don't know what sort of top that should go with it. By the way, it's a high-waisted skirt.
