Vintage Courtelle A-Line Skirt and Jackie suede sandals (Jumble sale), 1970's nylon top (Vintage shop), Socks (Jon's drawer) |
Surprisingly, after last night's drunken dinner party shenanagans, I woke up early, clear-headed and positively raring to go.

My Grandma bought me this Robin Wallace designed mug when I was a little girl, I can't believe I haven't broken it in all the years I've owned it. |
I finished the darkly enjoyable Jenny Diski novel I won in a blog giveaway. (Thanks,
Sangu).
I completed my latest patchwork curtains.
I added another three pictures to my kitsch wall of misery.
...and after catching sight of my hair in the photographs Jon took earlier I've got the next half-hour taken care of.
There's never anything wrong with your hair! I LOVE the flying ducks! They're great. xxx
ReplyDeleteOutfit looks lovely on you, sandals look cute with the socks :) x
ReplyDeleteCute outfit, love the socks.
ReplyDeleteWall of misery is looking...um miserable! :)
I like that mug!
xx
p.s hair is looking fine! but good luck with the dye job.
Your hair looks lovely but I know what you mean; when you feel it needs doing, you want to get it done and then forget about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment, I haven't really felt like doing a lot this weekend as I have been doing overtime at work these past few weeks and it has caught up with me. It also doesn;t help that I have been wide awake since 6am and only dzong all night due to a snoring husband. If we ever get a big enough house I think we may be having a his and her room so that at least if he is keeping me up I have a nice spare bed to go and slaap in peacefully! xx
I think your hair is fine too...but I know what you mean:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your outfit...super cute top....Id love to see a finished pic of your curtains....the sneek peek looks FABULOUS....love the colors:)
Have a great day hunnie!!!

Your hair always looks fabulous! I'm never sure about the socks look, but you are really rocking it.
ReplyDeleteI adore the patchwork curtains so much, I need to give making patchwork a go, there is so much fabric knocking around here. However, I have ordered that fabric scrapping book for further inspiration. Thanks!
Yesterday (I think) I scrolled FAR down your blog to find the last picture of your patchwork curtains. I sent the link to a blogging "buddy" who showed curtains SHE'D made from skirts of favorite, old dresses (not patchwork, though). I REALLY like yours.
ReplyDeleteI need new glasses! I've tried to figure out the patter on your top here. I like the colors & the sock/sandal pairing!
Vix I`m loving the skirt/shoes/socks look. I must get the hair dye on too.
ReplyDeleteDx
I love the socks with girlie shoes. I can't do that with my short legs but I just love it as a look.
ReplyDeletewall of misery! i laughed out loud so loud that my kids and now my man is coming over to see. they think i am loosing my mind. i love you vix! you are so crazy funny and fantastic. keep it up!
ReplyDeleteOMG your wall of misery had me in tears thats so funny! Love the outfit, really into red at the moment x
ReplyDeletewoah!! the boy next door had those sort of pics on his wall when I was a kid. Scary! I've sold a few on ebay and they always make money (even more scary!)
ReplyDeleteThe socks and shoes are such a quirky statement; I love the bright red in contrast to the black socks.
ReplyDeleteThose patchwork curtains look lovely, I am so very impatient when it comes to sewing, I am forever making mistakes and don’t think I could ever make something large scale, I really admire you. Be sure to show us them once there up xx
This is one of my favourite outfit of yours! (I have many..)

ReplyDeletexoxo
I've just popped by to say hello as it feels like ages since I've had any time to read any blogs :-( You're looking fabulous as always!!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the socks with the shoes. I've always loved this look but too scared to pull it off.
ReplyDeleteLooking fab and diggin the sox /sandals :)
ReplyDeleteIt always gives me a lift to see your home. so cozy and the Wall is one of my favs.;)
I am intriqued by morning people. It seems like a lovely notion to pop up and get going before 3pm or so, and do stuff as well :)
We night-owls seem to fare better and better as the evening goes on, and kick and scream when it's time to go to bed ;)
The world seems more geared towards the A.M. varieties. I actually switch over once or twice a year. The morning is a lovely place!
Love the socks/sandals!! Cute as! Sweet little outfit,actually!
ReplyDeletePleased to hear you didn't suffer after your party frolics!!! And felt so motivated!
Those patchwork curtains look mighty fine,darl,and I like your wall of misery!!There's an artist in NZ who has definetly been inspired by these type of images,and does a modern version under then name Misery!!She does clothes too!
LOVE Helga! xxxXXXxxx
Oh I wish I was this productive the morning after a boozy night!
ReplyDeleteAmazed at the patchwork curtains. Crafty thing!

I love socks and shoes on girls. Men just can't rock it as well. Looks like you've been having a productive Sunday x
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is so cute - great colours! Love the print on the turtle neck and the ankle socks and heels combo. Love those green birds on your wall too.
ReplyDeletethe wall of misery looks great but that sewing machine looks scary complicated!!!!!!
ReplyDeletepure vintage perfection! ~You look fabulous ~Heather ;D
ReplyDeleteHi Vix, looking fab as usual. You've recently showcased that top haven't you? Love the birds on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI see you have a Toyota sewing machine, mine's a Singer but I do have a Toyota Corolla! It's my 3rd Toyota and they are very reliable cars.
Recently viewed Monsoon Wedding and loved it as you said I would!

Dear Vix, you look great and I love the socks and sandals look.
ReplyDeleteI think your wall of misery is hilarious and they look beautiful the way you've hung them.
The patchwork curtains look great. I really wish I could sew. I'm shocking on a sewing machine, I just manage to bunch it all up in a mess! Amazing you still have that mug intact! I would probably have broken the handle off that too xx
You make patchwork curtains too?!!! I love patchwork and your gorgeous hall of misery:).
ReplyDeleteYou're an inspiration Vix.
So you get an award! xoxoxo http://pullyoursoxup.blogspot.com/2010/09/sunshine-award.html
How do you manage to look so sprity after heavy partying, Vix? The red skirt is wonderful - the perfect Sunday morning wake-up call!
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of a DIY moment too, which I will have to talk about soon. xxx
You look fantastic, i love this outfit xxx
ReplyDeleteyou know that skirt wants to come and live with me, right?
ReplyDeletexx
I love the fall colors! Aren't you lucky to wake up with no hangover? XX!
ReplyDeleteHooray! 'Darkly enjoyable' really is an apt way to describe The Dream Mistress, I'm so glad you liked it, Vix!
ReplyDeleteI've just been catching up with all the posts of yours that I've missed while crazy-busy this last week, and I am, as ever, in awe of your style and your energy.
Finished Animal's People a couple of days ago. It was so grim and depressing and yet so fantastic! Thanks so much, Vix!
I love waking up after a late night feeling fine! Sounds like you had a very chilled Sunday.
