Forgotten fruits

(Everything vintage)

So sorry that I am SO behind with my posts! ...keep getting distracted and posting other things, but at least you guys know that I have lots stored up for you! Also, next week I will be going to Graduate Fashion week, an amazing week where students get to show their graduate collections to some of the most influential people in Fashion. (can't believe that it is a whole year since I was showing my collection!) But this year I will be able to sit back and watch my friends, and people from my University show. I will post some of my favourites after the show.

Hope you're all having a lovely week. P.S thanks for all the love for my dog Teddy....he says HI!

They say that dogs look like their owners....

This is my dog Teddy. And yes, we look related! Just thought you guys would like to see my most favourite accessory of all...my Puli.

Even new(er) additions

My new babies.....the raffia heel platform beauties are from Dorothy Perkins (shocker) and cost just £40 and the second pair are a pair of pretty sexual Westwood-esque platforms that I got from a local "goth shop" (they are so high they make my feet look teeny). Anyways...just thought I would liven up this Tuesday evening with a bit of shoe porn for my gorgeous (AND growing) number of readers!....enjoy x

In amongst it all

crochet top vintage, skirt h&m, arm bangle monsoon, gold beaded bag vintage.

Decided to give you guys a little insight into the chaos that is my wardrobe....I say wardrobe but really its a rail with far too many clothes, shoes, scarves and bags thrown on it (as my actual wardrobe is completely full.) I found this beautiful little gold beaded bag that my mum's friend gave to me for "dressing up" when I was little, i used to make my little brother charlie carry it round wearing a dress and blonde wig and make him answer to the name charlotte...hence why it's missing a few beads! But I still love the bag, even now! Anyways, hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. The weather in Manchester is brightening up now, as is my mood!

Sunny Times

Some photos taken in sunnier times. unfortunately the weather in England has taken a turn for the worse and I can no longer spend weekends visiting little villages and going to spring fairs, vintage sales and boot fairs. But then again, I do have plenty of new things to show you all! at this fair, there was the most amazing native American man selling all sorts of trinkets and clothes, including this amazing tassel jacket with ACTUAL pony tail on it...a bit sick but also quite cool. I hope the weather where you are in the world is lots better than Manchester.

New shoes.

This week my beautiful bestest friend Hannah Jones gave me, quite possibly, the most beautiful shoes ever. You can follow her Tumblr HERE ...So yeah, she is pretty much the best thing ever and clearly has an eye for beautiful things. I would suggest you all get a friend that works in shoes!

Dream Weaver

(jumper Mango, crochet shorts H&M, rings h&m/thrifted/by me/river island, beaded peacock feather earing from a craft fair, boots primark, mexican woven bag ebay.)

Few photos from a recent summery look. I almost squeeled with glee when I grabbed the last pair of crochet shorts in H&M. I love them so much that I have already set my grandma the task of making me more pairs in atleast 3 colours. (sorry Joyce) ALSO Sorry about the late posts this week, I will be sure to sort that out next week! Also working on some DIY projects at the moment so will post some looks soon.
