First: The best leather pants, perhaps ever, from NYC online vintage store, lost the website on purpose as to avoid buying these babies - about £800!


Great vintage dress from 1stdbs.com (already sold)
mental vintage ring, also 1stdibs
A Ralph Lauren trophy - not really sure what people use this for, but thought the handles could be used for something great, like shoulders on a dress, bracelets, something...?
a bit of royal wedding excitement - she should definitively get one of these!

Have been watching a bit of the reality show about Lilly Allen opening a vintage store with her sister - they pretty much went on a crazy vintage shopping spree! They found a lot of great Ossie Clark, so I had a look online for some more..... The shop is called lucy in disguise, is somewhere in covent garden and sounds silly expensive! May I recommend Mariead Lewin in west London, instead! Find her details on google and book an appointment, but save up first!


Random cool looking indinas:

We recently watch a really shit film about a model from the 80's called Gia, although the film is horrible, she did have a pretty intriguing life - and there's also a lot of naked Angelina Jolie if you're into that kind of thing! Below is a picture of Gia:
this is just a kindof nice fabric...
some seriously classy stuff:


alexander mcqueen cluthch from net-a-porter

St Martins graduates - I am particularly keen on the first one!






Found an incredible vintage store (online) that deals with costumes and antique vintage, lace, fabric etc. They are somewhere in the middle of nowhere, but reasonably priced and have some amazing dresses from museums all over america...







this is Calvin Klein ss11 ( good luck buying it though, it seems all real Calvin Kline stores sell, is nasty underwear and dull unsuitable office wear - why bother making a great collection if you keep it to yourself!)




ring from net-a-porter, recently found a 'healer stall' in camden lock selling incredibly cheap stones for healing and the sort - i got some and even though their healing properties were non existent, they were cheap and look great as jewellery!
(My amethyst pendulum cost £8 and is now a rather expensive looking necklace)


This is a new designer they've started stocking at net-a-porter, there are from his/her website, some real nice stuff I think...








some paris fashion week street smarties - I especially like the grown out faded hair dye thing - seeing as I don't work in an office I feel i could possibly get away with it?








rick owens for men
nice pleads




thought this was a good idea - woven gold ring, you could easily get this done for you in one of those shops that makes army jacket decorations, there's one just behind top shop on oxford street...
I think I liked the pattern on this dress






some pics of Elizabeth Tyler looking fab:
