She may have been cavorting with fellow Antipodean minxes Kitty and Desiree this weekend but darling Helga didn't forget me. A parcel of joy arrived this morning and just look at my treats.
 |
| Catsuit worn with Melissa jelly sandals (£3.50, Scope), 1960s pearlised clip earrings (50p, car boot sale) and huge hair (gravity) |
There's this fabulous futuristic crimplene catsuit by Louise Fashions of New Zealand which makes me feel like a 1960s Bond bad girl.
An Indian adventure.
Vintage patterns
She also sent a1970s cord maxi skirt by David Grey (presumably not the wobbly headed singer). Also in the parcel was a1960s St Michael lurex mini dress and a flower child nylon halter top, which were both from everyone's favourite squirrel, Vanessa.
There was a pouch containing a pretty Indian silver chain & a kitsch poodle brooch from fab Kiwi, Sue.
Jon got a fabulous acid-bright psychedelic tab collared shirt by vintage London label, Rael Brook.
This fringed turquoise leather waistcoat (also from the divine Miss V) is just perfect with my curtain couture skirt, Barry M nails & brass trinketry.
Aren't bloggers the greatest?

| 1960s scarf (75p, Salvation Army), Curtain maxi skirt made by me (seen HERE ) |
Don't worry, soon after I ripped open my parcel I donated two vests, 3 books, a sarong, three belts and a bag to the Salvation Army and gave away 5 bottles of nail polish to a friend's daughter.
Ten in, fifteen out, balance maintained.
Off to get cracking on one of my new vintage patterns, I may be some time.
