The white zips are very mod, and I like that there are no chest pockets, which always make me look too busty. Excellent score on the Missoni scarf and Hasbeens sandals. I don't focus on brands when I thrift shop, but if I find something I really like, AND it's a good label, it's extra awesome.Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-88089927462817987952018-04-05T17:02:54.582+01:002018-04-05T17:02:54.582+01:00Hello!

I loved her doll's house and was fascinated by the Tate House at the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, the different scales fascinated me. <br />Puri beach is supposed to be lovely and really really want to visit Konark, too.

There's a couple of women we regularly meet when we're out and about who spend a fortune in the local chazzas, they've started boycotting one of the shops which has recently started coding their colours - their takings must be significantly down. xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-90127629901346289022018-03-23T08:15:00.323+00:002018-03-23T08:15:00.323+00:00Thank you so much!

I think as the mainstream phase for 'vintage' fades my local chazzas are keeping more retro stuff in the regular shops. Only homewares so far (tea sets and glass bedroom sets), though I'm hoping more clothing will start appearing.<br /><br />You're really good at making those miniatures. There was a programme on doll's houses on BBC4 last night - the illustrator who wrote the children's Charlie and Lola books was talking about her own one, and meeting people who make miniatures, and it was a nice break from the usual history of the houses. (The prices of some of those miniatures!!!) Also her house was so colourful it reminded me of yours, though hers isn't as retro-styled.<br /><br />Orissa's on my 'want to visit' list too; one of my Tweeties is an Indian travel blogger who regularly heads there from Kolkata to get in a bit of beach time. It looks lovely.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-33270916283875564552018-03-20T19:51:59.595+00:002018-03-20T19:51:59.595+00:00Oh you are looking gorgeous, Vix!

My heart sinks as I enter the shop. I just scan the rails for anything in a nice pattern or lovely colour and then I pounce. It would have been so easy to have missed that lovely denim jacket; thank goodness for the zip!<br /><br />The miniature world is looking magnificent; the sewing machine is just so sweet. You are clearly extending your creativity making things for the dolls house - more power to you!<br /><br />Hope you didn't freeze at the weekend...<br />xxxxVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-74775780838617185922018-03-20T11:38:29.216+00:002018-03-20T11:38:29.216+00:00'You'll be pleased to hear that I've b...'You'll be pleased to hear that I've been wearing clothes', mwhahah, yes, I'm pleased to hear it!!.
