Its all Pants

I am an absolute hoar for vintage crazy pants. The louder the design the better and have recently been on a tangent in search of some newbies to add to my collection. To my absolute delight crazy pants are here for S/S 2010..yay! Here is a pick of some of my favs so far...

My New Love

I am absolutley obssesed with Bon Iver at the moment so i want to share this obssesion with you esp the song skinny love which is utterly gorgeous. check this out on you tube

AMAZING HAIR

Strike a pose...

I also came across this lovely little Vogue vase in a charity shop. So cute. i have never seen any Vogue china before so I am not sure what exactly this is. I have tried to have a look on the net but didn't come across anything remotely similar so it could be worth a fortune! It has a little silver sticker on the base with VLC Art and Craft printed on it..whatever that means. Anyway very 70's...love.

I heart the 50's

When I stumbled across this cool little 1950's chest of drawers I had to have it. My kind of price too at only $80 from my local salvos store which always has the best retro furniture. I just love 50's stuff from dresses to dressing tables.. the photo is really bad and doesn't show the colour too well. Its a lovely cream with steel grey drawers with the sweetest little handles.

FREE STUFF !

Screw you ebay

I have just discovered a new love..in the form of an American website called Etsy.

Its original aim was to provide a selling place for all things handmade. Art students and crafty folk selling there wares for beans but then the old sneaky vintage crept its way in. Even better its not an auction, everything has a set price...HURRAH!

The selection is amazing (probably because the states have the best thrift stores) and the prices are just so good (especially those of you paying in yoyo's) None of this bidding bullshit that seriously wrecks head..having to be on your computer at the correct time, finger cramps from pressing refresh a hundred times. Even if you do win you end up paying too much for a piece of crap just because you've have had a few glasses of wine.

So check it out and prepare for some serious bargain hunting ladies www.etsy.com couldn't be easier.
