My Style

Here are some of my "i want that" favourites of the moment. I've always been a "lover" of underwear as outerwear, but only with pretty, lacey slips like these ones. They look fabulous when layered with a plain, white, cream or pale coloured slip and is very sexy for summer. I usually wore it with strappy, flat sandals or flat pumps. Add to that, a pretty cardigan and voila! 

1. gorgeous lacey slip from Top Shop
2. chiffon and lace slip from Top Shop
3. printed scarf from not on the high street
4. floral slip from Top Shop
5. sexy halter dress from pip-squeak chapeau etc.
6. "gotta have this" embroidered bag from hardtofind
7. stripey pants from Top Shop
8. vintage style slip from Top Shop
9. fabulous black midi slip from Top Shop
10. cotton dress "must have" from pip-squeak chapeau etc.

Happy day!

Dottie stuff

How can this be? I was just too late!! One Of my favourite of favourites on Etsy and the world of Vintage and blogging had  a handful of dresses going on sale on Etsy and they sold out in just a couple of days! Nooooo!!!

Dottie Angel   have been my muse since I "discovered" her a couple of years ago and when I saw that she has her trademark, gorgeous, vintage inspired frocks on Etsy, it was just a tad too late. Now I have to wait until "fall" which is our Spring and keep my eyes peeled on her Facebook page and Etsy shop to make sure I'm a "happy chappie" this coming summer, in my "dottie frock".

Here's a peek at her creations.....

Dare I say that it would make me a happy chappie indeed to see ALL of these in the wardrobe that I call mine? Sigh! Oh, yes! Very happy indeed!

Happy weekend folks!

Shoe makeover

I saw some fabulous shoe makeovers done by Kelli of Kellism and decided to try this myself. It's a fantastic craft for anyone, especially for kids on those cold, wet, winter days when they have absolutely "nothing to do".

This is one of Kelli's designs:

from her Facebook page, here

And here are one of my own creations:

I had so much fun making these that this will be on my Christmas gift list for some people. All you need is a pair of white canvas shoes, fabric or acrylic paint and a bit of patience. For the rest, just go wild with your designs and enjoy!

Happy day!

House Doctor

I am totally in love. On the same online shopping site I wrote about here, I saw these beautiful designs by house doctor
and just couldn't stop looking.

Besides fabulous furniture, they also have soft furnishing, clothes and accessories, storage, lamps and lighting, kitchen supplies and much, much more. Is it right to desire all these things (?), because I would go crazy if let loose in their store.



Absolutely fabulous; don't you agree?

P.S.
follow their blog here

BODIE and FOU

I found this online boutique and sat for ages, drooling over all the cool stuff they have on offer. You can follow their blog here or you can head on over to the online shop and shop till you drop. Run by two French sisters, I am not surprised - totally in awe of their eye for detail and the quality products they have for sale.
A bonus for us in the southern hemisphere is that they ship all around the World!! Yeah!!! I think I might just blow my budget completely here.....





I want that bed linen, I want that lovely distressed wood wallpaper and I saw gorgeous white pendant lights that I want soooo bad..... Sigh!!

I honestly don't know how I managed to stumble upon this website, but I'm sure happy that I did. Just look at the sweetest button badges.

cheerful melamine cups




funky lunch boxes and tins




tea for two (or more)



decoration for you little princess's room





Besides these cute melamine cups and funky lunch boxes and cases they have lovely floormats, rugs, lighting, kids clothing and much, much more. With summer on the way for many of you (in the North) there's a great variety of picnic ware and such. Just imagine a picnic on the beach with these bright and cheerful tableware. I'm almost jealous...
