Let the sunshine.

 

I bloody love the colour combo in these pics, COLOUR makes me so happy, in fact great colour combinations are just another small thing to gain great pleasure from, everyday.  I Bought this amazingly hideous 60's hat from a charity shop yesterday, it was the blue net and matching flowers  that sold it to me, you know I'm a sucker for hats anyway! Don't know what weather you all have today but right now the sun is shining, I'm feeling a 60's vibe and I intend to spend time today listening to the kinks in the sunshine, hope you find some peace in your day too x

I heart recycling.

I bloody love recycling, old magazines and knitting patterns slid into really grubby old plastic folders, sewn together, with zip added. So gorgeous, and you could fill them with anything you like, pictures of you and your mates, beads and buttons, dried flowers, or just leave them clear. Totally love sewing, in love with clear stuff, I heart my new clutch bag and purse! No go forth and make things!

All in good taste.

 

 

What is good taste? Why is a taste something which depends on context, era, age, whatever?! Interesting I think that we all have our own definition of what we consider good. I am bringing this up because- look at the two piece, now you know that I love a two piece but even I can tell that this late eighties pastel monstrosity is truly gross, however I kind of love the colour, the shape of the skirt and just general fact that its a two piece. My amazing mum bought it for me from a granny charity shop in Lincolnshire, that makes me love it even more! So go on challenge good taste, even if your not sure about it yourself. Clothes and style are meant to FUN!

 

 

 

 

Spent a rocking Monday evening scrubbing jars with my boyfriend to make into candle holders, going to hang them in the tree in the garden, I would just like to pointy out how punk this makes my candles lol, as well as up-cycled, roll on warmer evenings!

Clash it up.

 

This little mash up was a rushed lack of inspo, anyone been into Urban Outfitters lately, its a rush of dullish nineties tribal style prints, mixed with a whole lot of denim and bits of vintage sportswear. Yawn, anyway I love tribal and this skirt and top are both from different homemade two pieces, so my message here is clash it up, go mad!

In other news how cute is this little kids tea set, loved the colours or the characters on it, need to theme an outfit round it.

Get your chintz out.

 

I bloody love Britishness, today I went to visit Preston Manor but my favourite bit was the gorgeous walled gardens, felt right at home in my own little secret garden fantasy. Check out my gorgeous chintzy kimono which I made this week. I ended up rocking it in a kind of seventies does thirties thing, which I am very much in love with, I am currently adoring a modernised thirties vibe which my kimonos fit right in with. I love the glamour of it, the femininity, darkness and of course the whole late Art Deco vibe.

In other news look what a lovely friend gave me, this vintage pom pom making kit from the seventies I believe, amazing, look out for some interesting results haha!

jeans and a f***ing t shirt.

Look at this! Look at it, my shameful attempt of an outfit for the day. With the uncommitted weather situation as well a massive "I have nothing to wear" day, this is what happened. This! Some people can really rock it, jeans and a t shirt, they look really cool and effortless. But its so weird on me, its like you strip of my vintage dresses and floral madness and what are you left with? However it is good to challenge yourself and have a stylistic change from what your use too, I'm sure todays panic attack outfit will turn into something else entirely in my mind. But right now I have to go to work, in jeans and f***ing t shirt.

#chelseafloralshow

God how I love a two piece, with the upcoming #chelseafloralshow advert and a pop up shop at Bimble Bandana festival I've been trying to sew like mad at every opportunity. Today  produced this gorgeous two piece as well as some bleached denim items and customised jackets and waistcoats. Watch the space.

snapshot of our lives...............

Three woman, three different people, different tastes, different styles, different choices. But that is what makes us great, better at collaborating, pushing each others ideas to reach something ten times more interesting than the idea on its own.

 In our society we are constantly pushed as teenagers into groups at school, tribes off safety where you can visually identify with your friends as well as bond over the same music. When you get to uni its about what you study and how much you can drink.... don't be a bore for gods sake get out there and get wasted, that defines you as fun. When you get to work its all about meeting "like minded" people at parties that work the nine to five, commit to fitting into society and never reaching beyond what is expected of you.

 My point is lets celebrate the diverse. That is what makes things interesting, Shakes it up, pushes things further. Lets all be different........together.

Roll up, Roll up!

 

 

Today I am not only trading outside one of the most iconic Shopping destinations in Brighton.............. I'm inviting you to come along, get involved, have a chat, be style snapped and join in the style revolution!

A Mess.

You know those days where NOTHING looks right. One of those. Hence this freaky mixture of items haha. Look basically I have to go to work now so I'm going to embrace my cowgirl, 80's/30's pom pom hybrid. Thinking about its It's good to challenge your look, you might find a totally new combo that becomes your trademark. Or maybe even just have some fun, lets enjoy our style......... what will you wear today?
