Current Desire: A Fabulous Turban!

(Pics from Google images)

Earlier this year I went to a place called Lewes which is just outside of Brighton. Like Brighton it has quite a bohemian feel and as such had a rather lovely antique and second hand market.

At one of the stalls I tried on a fabulous turban, I fawned over it but in a moment of stupidity didn't buy it! (I was trying to be sensible, I wasn't sure where one would wear a turban...)

A few months ago I watched The Red Shoes and saw a turban on one of the characters; her black hair flowing out from under it (in my head you had to put all your hair in the turban but I've seen quite a few pictures with the hair outside).

And again recently while pouring over vintage Vogues in the library I've seen yet more and now I'm determined to get one!

I've also found that on etsy you can buy patterns for knitting your own turbans, see here , you can knit a matching muff as well!

Back Very Soon!

I have proper internet in my new home as of today so blogging should start again imminently!

I got my hair done at Nina's hair parlour last week, I shall have to engineer some photos of my new do, still getting to grips with curling devices though!

Goodbye for now!

I'm moving tomorrow and likely to be without internet for quite a while as we need to reconnect the phone line, sob!

So this blog will be on a little hiatus, however I thought I'd just squeeze in yet more shoes I've discovered...

These Office shoes are very gorgeous. I just saw them in the shop window of my local store, they look even better in real life! They are rather high though so not sure if they're that practical...
Get them here for £65

I realise this blog is always full of shoes, I'm not sure how I became such a footwear fanatic :-S

Apologies again and black suede shoes!

Again I apologise for the lack in postings and unfortunately they will become a lot more sporadic as I am relocating in a week and starting my MA so I will be very busy and most likely without internet for quite a while! Not sure how I will cope!

Anyway I started this post a while ago so figured I would quickly post it, I'm on the hunt for black suede shoes....

These Chie Mihara shoes are absolutely amazing, 40's ish but with a modern touch, why do her shoes have to be so expensive though! (Well I know they're not Louboutin prices but they're still very much out of my price range)You can find them at here at ASOS, they're £235.

I like these Melissa shoes as well, these ones are still made out of rubber but they've got a flocked/suede like outer. Melissa are great if you're vegan/don't wear leather as well!

Not a great image but for a better look go to here, to Topshop where you can buy these for £75.

I'm also hankering after a cropped swing style jacket (these are the only kind that suit me, anything that hits my hips is very unflattering) but I can't quite find a picture of what I'm after, once autumn hits I'll start the search in earnest I think...

Winter Suits!

First of all, apologies for the lack of posts!

I've been starting to wish for winter to kick in, I know, terrible isn't it?! I just detest being hot and like winter clothes far more than revealing flesh in the summer!

This autumn/winter I've been thinking about a suit. This is an impractical thought for many reasons, firstly I can't really afford one, secondly I'm likely only to have a part time job this coming year so not sure if I'd get much wear out of it and thirdly I'm not actually sure I could pull one off!

Nevertheless I keep looking at them!
Behold these examples, all active on Ebay UK at the moment...

Link here buy it now for £65 (love this, although the short sleeves might be impractical)

Link here (this one looks beautifully cut!)

Link here (Love the pleats!)

That's all for now! Happy suit hunting!
