The postman's been with two marvellous parcels. I scored this 1960's pink and gold minidress on eBay yesterday for a mere £2.50 yesterday and received it today. How exciting!
Accessorised with gold-coloured bangles from Tamil Nadu, Barry M Nail Paint in Turquoise, 50p vintage lace-up ankle boots from the car boot sale and socks stolen from Jon's drawer.
Not only a fab new frock but a parcel brimming with exciting treasures from my darling Helga all the way from New Zealand.
Vintage macrame belt and pendant, a New Zealand headscarf and Kangaroo print satin head square, Festival earrings, "Can We Help It If We're Fabulous?" by Peta Mathias along with a beautiful card featuring a Paua shell.
Not only all that but there's another parcel arriving here very shortly, a yummy Indian takeaway from the local balti house!
beautiful color and i love that pattern!

Takes me right back. Only I see shiny white knee-boots in my memory. How I loved them. Never had a pair. Too poor.
