All this is newly listed in my etsy shop, and I am also running a sale, 

with over 50% of the stock marked down by 10-30% or more. 

Have  a look!

New in the shop

  

The wonderful shoes above are so pretty it hurts.Would hurt even more trying to get your feet in them, they are tiny!!! Best suited for those of us with masochistic behavior,or other than that those who simply like to dwell over what they cannot have. 

 

If, like me, you wear a human size in shoes, there is a danger these more recent louis heels might actually fit, and furthermore allow you, if at all necessary, to walk about. Might be just the ticket to those cocktail fueled 20's and 30's parties providing you're not a purist with easily hurt sensibilities.However if your radar for non-authentic has picked a strong signal and is bleeping like mad setting your teeth on edge, I strongly advise you to move course immediately and keep close to a box of plasters.

Negotiating that big deal today, are you? Show them you really mean business by dangling this in your way to the office!  Yes it's made to be flashed at the opponent, and I promise you they'll never know what's hit them.. Speaking about flashing, it also makes those green envy leds go lala..A word of cautiousness though: if  interviewing for a job, kindly leave it behind. You don't want your next boss knowing you're SO much better...not just yet.

 

Now this one ain't funny at all. I don't know who she thinks she is with that rhinestone studded frame and the gold satin interior, and the perfectly matching mirror, with no foxing, and  no odor, and not a single mark or stain in sight, and with that kid leather sickeningly soft to the touch... I tell ya, there's no limit to this girl's delusion, she thinks she's some sorta glamourpuss.

So much to show you, such little means

Yes we haven't seen much of me lately. That's because I broke my camera back in September when I photographed the collegiate ensemble I showed you last time. The tripod broke it actually, and the blasted British wind. Hence no outfit posts for me, and sadly silence, in the absence of the energy for anything else. I am not sure how much longer this camera embargo will last, at the moment I don't quite have the splash power necessary in order to end it. 

What is certain is that I am not coping very well with the said situation, especially as I have so much to show you! Mostly more knits, a fresh batch in, lovingly made by mother, that arrived at my doorstep last week and deserve admiring from every possible angle :) 

Until such adoring act shall be possible consolation is to be found in browsing my latest shop additions. I've kept very busy and have some true gems in there right now. Here's a selection which, thanks to my phone, you can just about see.

Drool worthy shoes

A great bag selection

May you enjoy your visit ...and I hope you'll see me soon too :)

Latests shop additions: scrumptious 30's to 50's fashions!

Late 30's velvet jacket with beautiful gold bullion embroidery

As days are going by, temperatures and moods are changing. Sooner than we'll realize Autumn will be upon us once again. Usually this time of the year I am desperately trying to hang onto any shred of summer there may left be to be had. This year though, perhaps because there wasn't any real summer to speak of, I'm ready for change from the wet & muddy weather and have put all my hopes into the dryness of a golden fall.

They'll be more knits, and I'll be back to my two other major comfort zones: velvet and suede - fully illustrated here by these examples that have just left my bulging wardrobe and made it into the shop. 

Heart is a little heavy to let go of these treasures, but lack of space and money are good reasons to be ruthless. I hope they find a good home and at least as much love as I've given them.
