Poser!

Being as you asked so nicely here's me modelling two of my latest finds.

The fabulous Liz thinks this evening dress may be Jean Varon and what she doesn't know about vintage clothes ain't worth knowing. Some fool's removed the labels but by comparing it to my other Varon pieces what's left of the tag does look to be the same size and colour. It was filthy when I bought it and if I'd known it could be something special I may have hesitated about chucking it in the washer, but there again, maybe not. I don't usually think twice about washing a vintage piece and I've yet to have a disaster. There's something so rewarding about removing stains and ironing out creases.

Chiffon maxi worn with some silver platform heels (£5, clearance bin at local shoe shop) and heaps of my trademark tribal jewellery.

I wasn't sure of this dress at first but now it's on I absolutely love it. Not bad for 10p!

Revlon Venetian Blue matt eyeshadow (bought a couple of years ago), Vintage 1960's Leon T Mitchell lashes (20p, car boot sale), eyebrows (all mine)

Here's the 1920's silk kimono the friendly antique dealer at Wednesday's car boot sale let me have for pennies. As with all my silk, I hand washed it using some grated-up hand soap, line dried it and gently pressed it. It's not perfect but at almost 100 years old what isn't a bit frayed around the edges?

These pictures were taken on the landing with our beloved Cole and Son pink flamingo wallpaper in the background. It was the eBay bargain of the century, £7.51 for two rolls including post and packing. It retails at £55 a roll.

Isn't the embroidery exquisite?

Jon's causing mayhem in the bathroom and refitting the shower. I'm off to mop up whilst he prepares tea.
Have a fabulous evening.
