The postman woke me up at 7.30am yesterday with a parcel packed with treats sent all the way from Australia from the beautiful Miss Sarah Misfit. It was just the thing for clearing my booze-addled head.

Can you believe it? A second towelling dress in less than a week! This beauty is labelled as "Prelude, Made in Australia." It's so cosy and warm I couldn't resist wearing it to the supermarket where it won a few admiring glances, I can tell you.
Knowing my love of poodles Sarah sent me this card. It's keeping my latest 1950's find company on the bedroom mantlepiece. My china poodle was 40p from the Salvation Army on Friday.
A huge cocktail ring with yellow stones and a fabulous velvet bow belt. My nails aren't painted today but it will be worn accessorised with some brightly coloured Barry M polish at some point this week.
A kangaroo scarf , two insane flower napkin rings and a pretty card.
This 1970's brushed cotton dress is made by Len Vogue of Melbourne. If anyone knows him tell him I like his style.

What a utter sweetheart Sarah is and aren't I lucky? Thanks, my darling.

ReplyDeleteLove that towelling dress, what a lovely print! And looks absolutely gorgeous paired with the turquiose bow.
ReplyDeleteOh, that china poodle....40p? Very jealous! xx
She did so well, all those things are so very you. I love the pattern on the second dress best, but the first must be hugely cosy. How ideal for winter. The kangaroo scarf is, of course, fab. xx
ReplyDeleteHi my dear-what very thoughtful and stylish presents, both dresses are tailor made for you and look a dream!! Your poodle and the book are just so cute too! xx
ReplyDeleteAdore the cocktail ring! x
ReplyDeleteTwo very lovely dresses - tres chic! Your knitted bow and crysanthemum are just right for those finishing touches. I love that cocktail ring too, its a stunner - to be worn with green Barry M perhaps? xxx

You are indeed very lucky!
ReplyDeleteThe second dress looks AMAZING on you!
Those little napkin rings are so cute. I like the look of decorative napkin rings around the base of candles.
I love the purple and green glass vases on your coffee table.
I can't help but admire your curtains whenever I see them in a picture. They are divine! xxx
ooh you are indeed a very lucky lady! I adore the dresses and the poodles are so sweet! x
ReplyDeleteWell done by Sarah! The dresses fit you perfectly. Love the kangaroo scarf and the yellow cocktail ring.
ReplyDeleteI like it. A towelling maxi dress with woolly tights and boots is the perfect way to keep warm this winter.
ReplyDeleteLucky lady indeed - not one but two glorious maxi dresses that look fab on you! I love the gorgeous prints!
ReplyDeleteFound you through Helga. =)
ReplyDeleteLove the dresses!
Aw what a beautiful selection. Those napkin rings are quite simply awesome!!
ReplyDeletexxx
the kangaroo scarf! Are there more of those where that one came from?
ReplyDeleteAh Len Vogue, know it well, they must have made a lot of maxis in the 70s. You're spoilt as always my dear, lucky you!
ReplyDeleteYou are one special lady Vix!
ReplyDelete2 gorgeous new frocks. You are rapidly changing my opinion on towelling. Plus you have a figure to die for! x
ReplyDeleteOoh I am so glad you love them! You look BEAUTIFUL as always, Vix. I am gonna keep my eyes open for another kangaroo scarf - I'm pretty sure that one was an early 80s number - I 'll need another for Helga and one for Penny...
ReplyDeleteSarah xxx
Such a gorgeous print and I think I like it with a bow better!It fits you so beautifully!
ReplyDeletep[lease can you explain to me how to knit a bow - i need to get round to learning to knit!! :)

ReplyDeleteDear Vixy,
ReplyDeleteyup, I agree LUCKY you!

I'm actually experiencing some slight print envy at the moment...the towelling dress print ROCKS my cotton socks off!
Lots of love,
Jem

Sarah is a sweetheart and all those treats are amazing! I like the last dress especially, it really suit you down to a T.

What lovely surprises, and what a coincidence with the towelling dress, this may just be the start of a whole collection, you never know. I would love to bump into you at the supermarket, you by far must be the most stylish (grocery) shopper xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing package to recieve!
ReplyDeleteFantastic frocks! You have such wonderful friends. I am loving that bow, might have to find where I have packed my knitting needles...
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed a very lucky lady to have friends who send you such amazing duds. I love the towel maxi, it's very unique. I have only seen Pucci ones lately which are super expensive. Those dresses should be with you, you wear them well. In this post I can see why people mistake you for Cher.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great surprise and you look fab as well! I've enjoyed going thru your posts, I wish I weren't so exhausted when I get home from work I would post and comment more often. I loved your previous post on a nite on the town with friends. It looked like a fun evening and the food looked exceptionally delicious. It's fun to see how people in other countries or states live their every day lives and how different yet similar we all are. It's probably why I enjoyed geography class when I was in grade school.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week, Bonnie
That is gorgeous! Vix, you and your postman must be the best of friends by now - you do get some amazing parcels! xxx
