This week's "must have" Ezine for lovers of vintage clothing.

Diana: the people's princess

Just passed by Kensington Palace and have seen a little shrine to commemorate Princess Diana's birthday. So nice of people.

This week's "must have" Ezine for lovers of vintage clothing

I'm back

Hi guys. I've gone slightly AWOL in the last week or so. Apologies. I'm back now though so all is right in the world once again. I might have been remiss in posting recently but I guarantee you that I have been shopping lol. I have a lot to catch you up on but one piece at a time.

What do you think of this beauty?

Rather conservative but definitely beautiful. Turquoise with a gorgeous embossed floral pattern all over. There's even a metallic glint to the thing. Can you see it? Probably more perceptible in natural light. If only you were sitting next to me now you'd be able to see how the fabric shines when the light hits it.

What I think is particularly sweet about this little gem are the bows. It's always the little details that make something special.

It's all about peach!

Club tropicana

Not only am I loving all the prints around this summer but also the bold and bright colours that they are coming in. Just so tropical. If I can't be in the tropics then I'm definitely going to dress as tropically as I can.

So you can imagine my delight when I found this divine pair of trousers earlier this week. I couldn't get anymore tropical if I tried.

The turquoise blue and green are gorgeous together. I don't know if you can tell from the photos but the trousers have a shine to them and the fabric is textured. Yeah baby!!!

High waisted and narrow at the ankle, they look great as they come or fab rolled up a little. Of course I would never consider wearing anything but my white stilettos with these AND my bright pink lipstick hehehe.

The have a side zip and the loveliest buttons.

This definitely qualifies as a purchase of the month.

Broderie Anglaise revamped

Clubbers, I have redeemed myself. My style radar is back online and I am on fire. Look at this skirt.

I am in love. It's beautiful. Went for brunch at the Tabernacle and then went to an Aladdin's Cave of a stall on the 'Bello and found it. It's cotton with red, yellow and lime green broderie anglaise all over. I love long skirts. They make such statements and are definitely sexy. This one is high waisted and very fitted. So flattering.

I was in River Island the other day. Yes, I am a lover of vintage clothing but I do like to combine my one-offs with high street pieces. Anyway, I saw a gorgeous skirt. It was a complete copy of the LV pastel, embroidered stuff that has been photographed so much.

RIVER ISLAND VERSION

I really liked it but it was too pastel for me. I generally go for much bolder colours, although I reserve the right to contradict myself at any given time lol. So when I saw my latest purchase it was bang on. I love all the embroidery but it's not so girly, it's strong and bold. I can't wait to wear it.
