Today's bag is a vintage black velvet tote bag with ethnic braiding I got from a jumble sale for 20p. The brass and wood bangles are a mix of car boot sale finds and inherited from my mother.
Inside it is my 2010 Auroville diary, a mobile phone, a Florentine tooled leather purse (car boot sale), vintage over-sized sunnies (Salvation Army), a tape measure, Chloe perfume, a psychedelic tissue dispenser (car boot sale), Indian kohl pencil, Barry M lipstick, Celia Birtwell shopper and a hair band.
Two 1960's Boots prints - 50p the pair.
Two huge 1970's glass pendant lights £3
and a Frank Usher sequin top £1
wow! You've inherited some of the craziest stuff!
ReplyDeleteI'm lusting after the hand accessories.
Scarf looks simply fabulous :)

i love your style. it is similar to mine. unfortunately it is not wearable in my country (philippines) as it is too hot and humid here plus the fact that "regular style" is americanized/hollywoodish than indian/vintage-ish

Love your blog!!! Try a damp cotton wool ball dipped in fag ash to remove hair dye, disgusting but effective!!! Jo x
ReplyDeleteyou make this fun you know! i love the lamps best!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh that bag is divine! And the pictures- too cute! x
ReplyDeleteThat bag is so gorgeous and unique. I love the sunnies too. I always manage to dye bits of my skin when i do my hair, its such a pain x
ReplyDeleteEr, do I have to post on my blog?!
ReplyDeleteNow you tagged me - I ain't bin tagged before...
Oh, that bag! Me love it.
That Frank Usher top is an amazing bargain. Good luck removing the hair dye! Although the scarf looks fab in any case. xx
ReplyDeleteur bag is adorable..love the black/gold combination. Cant wait to see u style the Frank Usher top..
ReplyDeleteThese posts are always fun! Great bag!
ReplyDeleteLove todays bangle and bag choices! Newark is fab for just about anything but when we eventually move house, I would love to go with a van to buy some new furniture as the choice is amazing!! x
ReplyDelete20p for that bag?! Me want.
ReplyDeleteOooh I love your new hair colour!
And the prints of the little girls are just gorgeous <3
Perfect, Perfect, Prefect!!!!!!!!!! I so adore you!
ReplyDeleteThe end of your post made me smile. No matter how many times I have coloured my hair, I always manage to dye the tops of my ears.
ReplyDeleteLovely bag and Re: the poncho - I was 80% sure I recognised the wallpaper and manenquin (sp!). I just told the Aussie I'd bought it from you and he said and I quote "that means it'll be proper vintage and not badly advertised primark". The boy knows his stuff ;)
Love that velvet tote bag! Fab bootsale finds! I always manage to dye the tops of my ears and randow patches around my hairline!
ReplyDeleteI love your Frank Usher top, its gorgeous. I have heard that toothpaste can remove hair dye....i don't know if it works and you would smell a bit minty for awhile :) Have a lovely evening xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of that suitcase! I keep hunting for pastel vintage suitcases but they don't seem to exist! And nifty way to cover up a dyeing disaster, you wouldn't know, you're rocking it. :)
ReplyDeleteVix, we are living parallel lives today!! I too have had a major hair mishap :(
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your bargain hunting skills, teach me ;)

I adore those prints, what a lovely find!
ReplyDeleteHair dye is so messy.... I am just glad I don't have mine pink anymore, our whole bathroom got covered in it!
Wow what a stunning bag!
ReplyDeleteLove the leopard orint scarf aswell ..

Ok, so how did I know that the contents of your wonderful bag would be so wonderfully glam? Intuition I guess! Also, don't take up smoking for a vintage cigarette case, I'm sure we can think of some other wonderful use for it, also Stratton did a line of comapcts with the same design on... I'll look out for one! x
ReplyDeleteOMG you are just one hell of a beautiful woman,Vix!!!Lovinh the scarf!Bloody hair dye!G is going to henna my hair this afternoon,and I always end up with crusty poo in my ears!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool suitcase!Envy!Adorable prints as well.What a lovely bag!Looks so nice and tardis-like!!And comfy,it could prob double as an emergency pillow!
I loved wearing my cuff yeasterday-I think you've started something.Bu tit will be easier in summer,when I don't have to cover myself wirh long sleeves.....

ReplyDeletei love your bag! i was tagged in this a while back and it was such fun to see what everyone totes around all day!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love those lights, I really need something like that for under my stairs.
ReplyDeleteVix, have you tried applying a thick layer of vaseline to your forehead before dyeing? It usually stops the dye from going where you don't want it to go :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bag and great contents.
ReplyDeleteLove your finds - I must do more car boots!
That's one tidy bag Vix! I think I'll need about 3 weeks prep to get mine ready for the post about it.
ReplyDeleteThe suitcase is wonderful.
ohhhhh my that velvet bag is to die for!!
ReplyDeleteI also love that sequin top, and shame about your forehead but I'm sure it'll wash away soon :)

ReplyDeleteVix, you have an award at my blog!
ReplyDeleteUh oh, when dye goes bad! Sorry the tips didn't work. :( I've failed. Can I ask, was it henna that you used? handy for me to know to find alternatives!
