Bona Drag

Bona Drag is one of my favourite online stores. 

The name means Nice Outfit in a secret language they used in London in the 60's.

 They have fantastic jewellery.

I really love this designer Lindsey Thornburg and her use of pattern.

Also love this dress by Bodkin.

Santa are you listening?

We missed you!

 

Tom Ford is back after 6 years away from fashion.

 

I appreciate his view on media, exclusivity and think it will make his clothing even more sort after. 

 

Way to go Mr. Ford!

Vintage patterns

I love to collect old patterns but I never seem to get around to making them, it's sad really.

I know how to sew, have lots of machines and can easily make them but I'm always sewing bags or teaching sewing. 

(I work as a sewing instructor part time - love it!) 

I never feel like sewing much in my free time. 

But I think that should change! 

Which one do you think I should start with?

Would make a perfect little back dress!

I like the short sleeve versions; I could do my hair like a Charlie's Angel too!

I think I need one of each style! 

The short one does look quite short thought!!

Never the stripes! 

But "B" with the right fabric: a fantastic evening dress!

I know the perfect little girl for this one!

Oh this one's full of goodies! I really like the pink coat in the middle! Very Audrey!

Elegant, classic! Not sure about the jacket?

One of each again! You can't have too many dresses!

Minkee Love

Minkee is an illustrator from the U.K.

She has done these bright happy animal prints that I treated myself too.

They arrived yesterday in the mail!

I think it's important to give yourself a treat every once in a while!!

I got a cute thank you note from her. 

It's all in the details!

Confetti System

I just love the studio shots the shelby did of New York's confetti system.

I have a weakness for all things shiny and sparkly! 

How could you not be happy in that studio?

My favourite are the tassel garlands!

My girl!

I know when I started this blog I said I would not post pics of my cat Mayzie but rules were made to be broken! 

This pic is too cute not to share!
