Dress - French ConnectionHat - vintage
Brooch - Tatty Devine
Shoes - Joy
Tights - very old H&M
Toys - all Mila's
Apart from this dress though, I have to say the shops are pretty boring at the moment. I can't really see anything exciting in high street shops, which is good as I am trying to keep away from them and go back to a mostly vintage or thrifted wardrobe.
Also I can't believe I had never thought of using Mila's room before as the background for my photos!
Coat - vintageHave you found anything really interesting in the shops recently?
its a dream of mine to raid a classic photo booth and use up all its film! ive never gotten to do that!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you waited for it to go on sale. I don't have that kind of will power. Its absolutely awe worthy and I like how you finished it off with the hat and tights. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYES! I HAVE! Well not that interesting but impressive for where it's from www.tigerandtale.wordpress.com (first post) but I agree, I made the same decision before I went to NYC that I would not return with even one, brand new item and with a suitcase full of thrifted I did return! x
ReplyDeletenice dress!
ReplyDeletei'm not even looking in shops at the moment due to lack of funds. but when i start earning some decent money again i'll be trying to avoid the high street as much as possible. always cave a bit for the boutique stuff in topshop, but going to try and stick with independents/vintage as much as i can.
I follow you on twitter, & I just have to say that you look like a prettier version of Kelly Osbourne. :]
ReplyDelete& I am completely jealous that you have a ukulele. I really wanted one for Christmas, but sadly, it wasn't underneath the Christmas tree. Do you know how to play?
Way too cute! I'm lusting after dark plaids these days; it's my way of making winter less dreary. :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat boots! I know what you mean about shops at the mo - stark x
ReplyDeleteLOVING the ukulele. It should be the most fashionable accessory of 2009!
ReplyDeleteOh and the rest of the outfit is fabulous as well, especially the yellow coat =)

That yellow coat really is the best!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress so much! You are right about French Connection though, it is way overpriced for the quality that you are getting. I bought a sequin space invaders dress from there and the sequins tend to fall off when I wear it.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these shoes at the moment but can't decide whether to take the plunge.

Love the dress! I had never bought anything from FC either until in the fall I fell in love with a red and black 40's style dress they had! My hubby was wonderful enough to buy it for me, now it's my fav! ;o)
ReplyDeleteZooey D. told me she plays a baritone ukulele. What's yours? Oh, and I love the atari backdrop on the wall, ace.
ReplyDeleteI found a necklace that looks like black and white cookies. I have been waiting for the perfect moment to wear it, but now the anticipation has built and I feel an intense pressure...or not.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great look - I liked that dress too, thought it had more potential than the slogan t-shirts and fussy blouses that French Connection still seem to churn out.
ReplyDeleteI found these beauties in (of all places) Office:

I'm a 7/40, so finding my preferred vintage shoes is a nightmare, and my trusty black brogues were curling at the edges! Then there's the Tatty Devine rabbit-in-a-hat necklace, the white lace tights.. I can't wait to wear less clothes!
