Sorry for the lack posting, I've just been super lazy lately. But last saturday I went to 'Ancient Arts Revival'. Which is a little market/festival/exhibition thing with workshops and stuff too. There was one market stall in particular that I absolutely could NOT stay away from. Louise Kennedy from Nobby Village was selling off some of her wonderful vintage clothing collection. I didn't get many decent photos of the actual stall, but I bought some lovely things... Oh, and I met Kitty! The one and only Kitty from Kitty's Vintage Kitsch!
This is the loverly Louise of Nobby Village.


I absolutely adored this scarf and decided I had to have it.

Hurrah! Pedal Pushers!


This dress was a PERFECT fit and it was only $15!

This photo seems to make me look like a normal
teenager taking a normal picture of myself. It's worries me.

I don't really own any gloves and I figured I should buy some even if we are coming out of winter her in Australia, but the were lovely and only $3.

I couldn't bare to see these beauties go to anyone else. I had to buy them.

This was the only picture I managed to get of what I was wearing, even if you can't really see. But yeah.
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

simply white.

Today I went op shopping. Not a major op shopping trip, just to the very few ones around me. Being two.
But yeah, I went to Salvos and the only thing I really found was this amazing dress. It fits me perfectly and its a really nice shape and I've actually been looking for a dress with this neck shape for a while now. The only annoying thing is that the highest I can bring my arms up is straight out the side. But it only cost me $5! When I forst saw it I thought it was a wedding dress. But now I'm not sure whether it's a bridal gown, bridesmaids dress or just a nice fancy gown.



 See you soon! Erin. xx

She wore a skirt with flowers...

Hello dearies,

Today mother and I went birthday shopping. My birthday is this tuesday and hers happens to be the day before mine, so we figured we should go shopping and buy each other some prezzies. We went to a load of op-shops. Annerley is Brisbane seems to have so many great thrift shops. One of them is a lifeline 'vintage revival' so it has some amazing retro pieces. Mum bought me a beautiful short 70's dress. It's black with white and yellow flowers. Collared and short sleeved. It's a perfect fit! As I was trying it on, I came out of the change room wearing it, to show my sister, and literally everyone in the store swarmed around me saying how great it looked on me. Although there was only about 7 people in there. Anyhow, I also got this super-comfy high-waisted maxi skirt from a vinnies, also at Annerley. I don't actually get either of them until tuesday, but i'm also getting a camera for my birthday so I'll be able to show you both of them with my new camera! But I shall show you some crappy iPhone quality pictures that I managed to take whilst my phone still had battery at the Annerley Antique Centre...

This fringed leather jacket was so great, but it was $99. This one was from Vintage Revival.
This was easily my favourite thing I spotted at the antique centre. 'Twas an antique, fully working dentist chair. It's a shame I don't carry an extra $3500 around with me.
so. many. bow ties.
This dress would have been amazing. But I didn't have time to try it on, unfortunately.

Hope to see you all again soon, 
Erin. (:

Fringey McFringe Fringe.

Today I cut myself a fringe. It was a bad, bad, bad idea. It's crooked and it looks really stupid when I have my hair down, but it looks alright-ish when I have my hair up.

Photographic evidence that I look like a freak.
Also, I got this amazing dress the other day from my mum's rich friend who was throwing away heaps of clothes, and she just happened to let me rummage through all of it. I scabbed 2 garbage bags full of amazing clothes. But anyway, here's the dress.
Dress: Second hand
Jacket: Henleys Premium $49 (I think)
Badges: Thrift Shop 

I look really stupid in the picture but the dress is so comfy, as is my leather jacket. I absolutely adore the fabric, it's pale pink with pink poodle all over it. Unfortunately there's a huge rip just below the right sleeve going down to my waist. Which I'm planning on getting fixed asap.


See you all soon. :)
