In all this chaos, we found safety.



Dress: Keiko Lynn
60's Lucite Bag: Thrifted
Tights: Thrifted
70's Brogues: Thrifted

I was so excited when this package, from the ever beautiful Keiko Lynn, landed on my doorstep. Before she sold it I remember saving the picture of it to my 'inspiration folder' and dreaming of finding something just like it. Lucky for me she soon after put it up for sale, with the most adorable pair of brogues, that I'm sure will make an appearance on here soon.

The bag is one of my favourite finds so far!
The line to the counter never moved so slow as I spotted it, just to find out it was 'on hold' Thankfully I got taken aside and was told they really don't like the lady it was on hold for and had just had an argument over the price with her. She said give me $6 ($4 US) for it and it's yours! A bit of a scurry later, as she made me hide it, so that they lady wouldn't come back, most probably attempt to beat me for it and I finally own a 1960's white marbled Lucite bag.
Super duper!

When so many bloggers are excitedly humming about the prospect of winter, all that is on my mind is sunshine, summer dresses and the possibility of ditching the tights this year.
Summer is just around the corner for me and I can hardly wait!
There has been so much inspiration, from bloggers, that I have been saving up to be able to crack out and now I finally can.
Lets just help this sunshine keeps up!
