Silk scarves and Vintage Lace....

Well, gosh, what a bloomin rainy day-but are we downhearted? No!! Cos we have lots of fabulous vintage pieces to look at. I just picked up a fabulous silk brocade dress from a vintage market in London, all mint greens and light golds-practically eat it up its so yummy. And not your usual teeny tiny size too, so should work for a number of people. Also, as I got engaged in Marrakech (yep, its all happening wedding-wise this year, eh?!) i've been looking at vintage wedding dresses. All very beautiful, but the main thing is, i've started getting into vintage lace. Just picked a load of stuff up from the states, thinking i can add some bits to my black dresses and t shirts. And the fact it is a bit yellowy from age, makes me love it even more (is that weird? who cares, eh?) Hey, there is so much you can do with lace; make it into a corsage, put it in your hair for that Victorian/1920's look....a myriad of things, i tell you!
Found a gorgeous silk scarf in a charity shop the other week. Is my new favourite thing, might try and put it on here. You know when you just have a favourite thing and you put it with everything, like, including your PJ's? Well i'm at that stage with said scarf. "It's so choice!"...
Anyhoo, hope the scarf picture comes out. And hope you are all keeping dry, warm and happy...xxx
