On Wednesday evenings at the Light you can get an artisanal pizza and see a film for £15. Last night we saw Time Travel Is Dangerous, a delightfully daft mockumentary by local director, Chris Reading, a low budget adventure about vintage shop proprietors, Megan and Ruth, who discover an abandoned time machine enabling them to travel through time & collect vintage treasures to sell in their ailing Muswell Hill store, not realising the irreparable damage time travel has on the universe. Megan and Ruth are vintage sellers in real-life and their shop, The Cha-cha-cha Emporium really exists. Narrated by Stephen Fry with stars including Johnny Vegas, Brian Blessed and Jane Horrocks, the film is a mad mix of Shaun of the Dead and Bargain Hunt with shades of Wes Anderson.
Off-the-wall, silly and great fun, just like our relationship!
It wasn't only the film director who was local, the costume designer Vicki Jones is a Walsall girl and we were treated to a Q&A session after the film.
I'd not worn this Afghan-style dress for a while, originally from Urban Outfitters but bought via Vinted for a fraction of the original price. It's one of those ideal for swimming dresses with no faffy fastenings so can be pulled off and back on again with ease.
I do like a mash-up! Along with my Indian-made dress and handmade in El Paso cowboy boots...
Yesterday I spent the day over at Liz's, helping her set up a Vinted account. We ended up listing 16 items, with some things attracting watchers within minutes (I love it when that happens). I wore a maxi skirt I'd made from some vintage Anokhi fabric and liberated this J Crew western shirt from the stockroom - I was shocked when I discovered how expensive their clothes are, when I see Made in China on a label, I assume it's cheap sh*t.

Despite the weather people on the telly going on about the high temperatures we're supposed to be enjoying, the wind is really chilly although I did brave bare legs and Lottas to drop my Vinted sales parcels off in the lockers this morning.
I was very grateful for this shaggy sage green wool-blend cardi I spotted for £3 in the clearance chazza the other day, it's 1990s Monsoon and very cosy.
I must dash, we're meeting friends in Spoons shortly & I need to change into something warmer! See you soon.
