finders keepers.. 60's special!

Bringing back flower power.....  I found this little treat for the bargainous amount of 400 pennies in a charity shop in Orpington.. Groovy Baby!

wise words..

A little bit excited..

I am just a little bit excited to hear that Vampire Weekend's Ezra and Rostam have been writing lots of new tracks for their new album out early next year....I hope they will be back on the festival circuit too! yes pleasey.

Back to my favourite track of all time... take me to San Francisco please. M79!

Furry Feathery flighty hats on my head.

This week I have been trying on the fabulous hats made by the fabulous boutique head dress maker 'Mind like Magpie'. 

 The winter collection is simply fabulous and I want to buy them all to adorn my fancy little head!

Feathers in my hair....

After spending the winter bare haired, I have just had some lovely new feathers attached to my locks. I love love love love them. I had them put in by Feather Ray the amazing feather hair extension company that are now based at Topshop Oxford circus at the weekends. 

I chose to have colours such as tequila mix, teal, bottle green, white, brown and red. I think they look wicked against my black hair! 

This week...

Phantogram are warming up my little earlobes nicely, actually they're warming up my sorry little soul too. Whilst the winter is chilling my outer, my inner is bursting with summer fun inspired by the Phantogram lovelies.

They are playing Cargo in Shoreditch on the 28th February. I think i might have to get me one of those please.

Apart from the love, family, food, warm nights and the odd snowball christmas also means I can stock up on one of my fave accessories for my head! The ornanate bird. Often used to decorate christmas trees.. Or my Head.

I found this devine Robin flying around the V&A muesum shop yesterday and whilst other muesum shoppers were flicking through the various books with big pictures in I was happy modelling the bird on top of my head. 

It seems the muesum shop is bursting with bling- I also found this fabulous bobby dazzler ring. A snippet at only £3! It will probably fall apart after a few wears with the rock going one way and the ring staying on my finger, but it is nothing a bit of superglue cannot fix! :-) 

Finders Keepers- Its a Bobby Dazzler!

The find of the week is my gorgeous bobby dazzler of a top. I popped into the Watney market charity shop today on the off chance that there might be something to take my fancy (there never is usually) But here it is proof they do have cool things! A Bethie Bargain @ £4!

I want.... Purple lips!

Potent Fig by MAC

Whilst in the city today doing lashes and having lunch with my bestie I thought it was rather rude not to pop into the new MAC store in Spittelfields market.  I've been waiting for a gorgeous purple lippie like this for ages. I spotted the little tube of happiness out the corner of my eye and snatched it off the stand, quickly regaining my composure amongst the empty shop- bar the make up assistants whom have all visited the same pink dye hairdresser.  I didnt really need to try it on to know that I love this product. So it seems that every other girl does too- Its bloody well sold out wahhh!! Can Mac please take a leaf out of Mulberrys book and get a waiting list?

So for now, I am going to have to make do with the happiness I felt from gothing it up all afternoon with my one slick! I'm turning Violet Violet!

Lovely Headwear..

When my best friend and housemate Katy showed me her new flowery headband from Urban outfitter, (to avoid conflict over who would wear it) I naturally took  myself off to UO to pick up my little peice of flora n fauna too.

Katy and flowers.. and my teee- shirty. 

What a copy cat I am, but at a sale item price of 900 pennies I cannot let bargains like this escape my thoughts, its something that I'd lose sleep on over night! I'm going to vajazzle mine up with some diamontes for fireworks night fo sho!

must stop picking flowers..

Tartan Treat

I've always had a thing for the Scots, now I can pay homage to the tartan trend with my fabulous new shoes. How cute are these? And at such a bargain too.. £24.50 in the sale at Dune concession, John Lewis in Westfield Stratford. 

His n Hers dressing! The Kooples

I really don't know whether I'm a lover or hater of The Kooples clothes brand that has popped up lately.
The ethos is on dressing in harmony for you and your beloved better half. Probably more for the girls who live in fear at what their boyfriends will turn up wearing when they have'nt been around to style them!

SNAP! look what I wore today! 

Oh so nausitatingly trendy I loved the sharp tailoring and urban lines they have throughout their collection, its all about the swagger! The French Brand teamed up with trusty Saville Row to make sure they hit the mark, who would have know the English would teach Paris a thing or two about Fashion.. What beautiful couples they use- I assume they trawled brick lane and what not to find the best looking couples, dragged them to their shop and gave them a whole heap of free clothes- as strangely enough I do not think these couples usually buy their entire wardrobe from one store only!
Just when I'm swaying towards love for the brilliant branding,the videos are a little too cool for school, making me cringe to a degree yet still wish I was rolling around at the back of the taxi with my other half in matching clothes!

Just your average sarah and john walking down the street. 

Lo-Fi-Fnk.. Why have I never loved these before?

Still in the shadows on my sunday night hangover on Monday evening, I pulled my self out of the pit of soap opera hell and trotted the few steps to the shaklewell arms in Dalston. A little embaressingly I have never been here before, considering its a stones throw from my front door but was lured in with the promise of seeing my lovely friends, my friends new date and his huge hair and a the band Lo-Fi-Fnk.

Now I came without any pre-conceptions as 1) have never been to shackewell arms and 2) have never seen  Lo- Fi-Fnk. But to my delight, I found out they were swedish (bringing back the days of my obsession with the swedes, my teach yourself swedish book and my trip to sweden in search of all things blonde). And they were practically the happiest 3 peice I've seen in a while. I mean really happy. Estatic! The 2 front dudes had the chemistry of an electric circus, so good to see, there were no boundaries here as contact was given out on impulse. me like. Their electro pop beats, made me feel like I should be dancing the calypso on acid, always a winner!

American Apparel Flew Market sweats.

In a moment of madness, and being the biggest bargain hunter out there thought I should join the Shoreditch sheep and follow the crowd to the AA flea market put on over the last few days at the Truman Brewery. So on my second attempt i finally made it through the blessed doors of the dalston-ites mecca (my first attempt failed when i saw the length of the que on Thurs- opening day) and I returned on Friday morning at 9am. I felt nice and smug with no que there- hah!

Once through the doors my smugness soon turned to fear as i saw the mile long que to the tils already formed... had these people camped over night i wonder?
I hit the rails and was pleasantly surprised by the goods on sale, i whipped out a tarten skirt that will look fab with a tutu under, a black man shirt with high neck buttons, a fabulous spotty skirt and the winner of all... a zebra print lycra leotard! Now the generic leotard will be seen all over now im sure, but i'm not going to throw the leggings on underneath to create a sausage skin, no thank you! i'll be rocking mine with a fabulous skirt fo sho! Not forgetting the finishing touches... the tights with split colour legs and dogtooth. OH WOW!

Jane Fonda special

After a good hour of rifling i joined the que with what seemed to be the only sized medium/large ladies garments i could find, oh the size 6's out there are going to be american apparelled up until the year 2020! The mix of emotions could not have been more extreme, with a group of teenagers behind me (HELP) and the people in front forgetting their personality that morning I held onto the fact that I'd saved a bomb and made the AA just that little bit richer, and might even be in with the kids now! Glorious!
