precious stones

 

Okay so this is clearly not a fashion blog but I couldn't resist posting this amazing malachite print  dress I came across because it's a total work of art and I covet it ever so.

 

Malachite is mined in Zambia and I got a beautiful bangle and necklace when I was there so I've got the jewellery all sorted and now I just need someone to lend me the $$$$$ needed to buy it (from designer Monique L'huilier)

 

Plus: Florence dresses as a sexy dinosaur.

Love it.

Vintage Clothes Finds

I don't normally post about clothes but I've been so lucky recently finding bargainous vintage pieces that I thought I'd share a few. The sparkly 70's dress and maxi skirt were only £1.50 each!

The black lace cocktail dress isn't vintage but it's a classic and I've had an excuse to wear it already. 

I haven't sported the stripy synthetic 70s/80s house coat yet though because I'm not sure how to wear it without looking like Nora Batty from 'last of the summer wine'.

I also got a lovely brown leather jacket the other day for a fiver. I just love charity shops.
