black velvet

Here's a little project I did today in between painting my mini collection (nearly finished!). I dug up this little black velvet cat dress I remember being thoroughly attached to as a child. Eeither I was a very fat kid or this dress swam on me because that's the only way I can explain how what used to be the under-bust of my childhood dress now fits my waist perfectly! I chopped off the skirt and added a zip so I could get in and out, shortened the hem and voila, the perfect black velvet mini skirt. I absolutely hate throwing out my baby clothes, so I think this is the best way of simultaneously keeping my childhood spirit alive whilst also recycling perfectly good fabric and reducing waste. I think I'll have to find a good use for the cute furry kitty face as well!

After spending a long time searching for a new bag and mulling over a fake Celine number on iOffer the fashion gods answered my plea with the delicious Life with Bird Luna bag. I couldn't believe my luck, it was on sale and arrived 2 days after I ordered it! Made of the most sumptuous grainy leather, I 'moved in' the second it came and I'm sure I won't be moving out any time soon.

The best thing about cold weather? Being able to laze around in fantastically slouchy knits all day and not feel like a slob! These are two of my new favourites that I picked up on my journeys through Europe's Zaras and H&M's.

LDN purchases: part one

I almost cried when I found this pleather skirt in H&M! I'd seen it online months ago and cursed H&M for not shipping to Australia, but the shopping gods must have been smiling down on me this day as they had one left and it was in my size!

Also completely obsessed with my new boots from Office London, they were a bit of a splurge but are ridiculously comfy and go perfectly with absolutely everything.
