glitter in the daylight

Here are my new shoes from Topshop. Aren't they ACE?

I have them in another colour too. Is that bad? I figure they

may never come along again. I chucked out a pair of silver

glitter '60s pumps I thrifted in '89, in '91, and have regretted

it many times since. The dress is by Leona Edmiston.

Also, I cut my fringe, myself, without a comb. Thanks.

Lastly, I have a secret ambition to get my

eyeliner as big as Amy Winehouse. Baby steps.

giveaway - cherry headpiece

I have one BNWT cherry headpiece by Sportsgirl to give away.

Not the one in the pic, that's mine, not that I have hair cooties, or

anything! All you need to do is be a follower and comment on this

post. Happy to post anywhere in the world, and of course open to

the Aussie girls as well. I shall draw the winner Monday 6th Feb.

review of betty mag

I recently mentioned a cute new mag I had just discovered, Betty.

I ordered, and she has arrived. I know some of you were interested

in how I found it, so here it goes. For anyone who knows Frankie,

Betty is a definitely a member of the same family - say her

 younger, Brit cousin - she's choc-full of lovely photographs 

and cute illustrations. For six pounds, I found the 65-page, second issue

well worth the money. There are lipstick reviews, an interview with

the fabulous blogger Susie Bubble, scrummy recipes, and some rather

fabulous fashion-spreads. May Miss Betty continue to thrive.

thrifted 1950s dresser

Can you believe I did not have a full length mirror in my house?

I was lamenting this fact to my beloved and whilst our thrifting,

this weekend we came across this 1950s dresser for an

absolute steal. And it has a full length mirror! It has glittery

finish through the laminate exactly like my Nanna's kitchen table

had when I was a little girl. It may not be the most spectcular

piece of furniture, but it is perfect for me. I am thrilled. As you

may be able to see, I haven't set it up, just chucked a couple of

things on it so it doesn't look too desolate.

For the Aussies and Brits- two words - Mrs Mangle!

thrifted vintage dresser set

Today I found the most darling little four-piece dresser set

by Delina. Research suggests it is circa 1930 - 1940, but I

can't be certain of this. Let me know if you have a more

certain idea. I love it when I find something vintage and

cheap. The last pic is of the box which is just as cute as the

set itself. I also thrifted a vintage dressing table which I will

post about tomorrow. What a fabulous day. Happy girl.

a little bit of australia

I urge you to take a listen. This is a bunch of Aussie kids that are AMAZING.

I challenge you NOT to happily dance around and sing this song for the

 rest of the day... it is impossible. So proud to be an Aussie!!

another wall of the dressing room

I am obsessed with what the other half and I call old, manky

flower pictures. Here are a couple of new ones that are now

hanging in the dressing room.

etsy - how does one choose?

I often think about the Seven Deadly Sins and wonder what order I

would put them into, relating to myself. Greed  is up there, possibly

at the top. I LOSE MY MIND when I log on to etsy and I want everything

on there. When I do these posts, I don't include the links, because I don't want

anyone else to buy these things. Obviosuly, I cannot afford it all, and choosing

one or two (okay, three or four) items each payday (not weekly) drives me

into a greed-riddled frenzy. Gimme, gimme, gimme it all.
