FEELING HOT, HOT, HOT!

Finally some real summer weather!
England is hot and sunny and that means plenty
of BBQ's and car boot sales!
For some reason this weekend wasn't very busy
when it comes to car boot sales, not many sellers
that is.
I guess the reason for half empty fields today was
because England was playing in the World Cup.
I still managed to grab some bargains though...
Here's some of the finds for this weekend.


Flamenco doll, 20 pence.


1950's Bambi, 50 pence.


1950's squirrel brooch, 50 pence.


1960's earrings, 25 pence/pair.


1960's necklaces and bangle, £1 for the lot.


1930's jewelry/vanity dish, 50 pence.


1950's sewing stuff, 75 pence for the lot.


1950's coffee flask, 30 pence.
1960's sifon, £1.50.


Tin bird, 50 pence.
Tin hen, free.


1950's-1970's tins, £1.50 for the lot.

HANGOVER INSPIRATION?

Is it just me who think this way or did Jonas Åkerlund
have a hangover and watched a bunch of old half decent
movies like Who's That Girl, Kill Bill, Thelma & Louise etc.
before directing this music video?
Love it! :D

ALRIGHT

I'm having a really bad day today but I try
my best to cheer myself up with some music.
Here's a pretty good perk up tune...

OUTFIT PICTURES!

As you might know I don't like to be photographed but
I thought I'd make an effort at the Rockabilly Rave.


Stunning mint and silver dress.
I got it last time I was in Prague for £10.
Too bad my hairdo doesn't show properly.


Markus and me in matching Hawaiian outfits.


I rebelled and left the red nail polish at home.
I love this turquoise nail polish from Barry M.

HARDLY ALIVE

Hi! It's me, again!
I'm hardly alive, very sore.
Rockabilly Rave took the last ounce of energy that I
had left and this is coming from a person who didn't
have a single drop of alcohol what so ever.
Lack of sleep, moldy, cold chalets and change of food
really didn't go well with my otherwise very healthy
lifestyle.

The highlight of the weekend was the chalet jam on
Saturday, the flea market on Sunday morning and a
lot of jiving when Jungle Jim was playing on Sunday
night.
The flea market was full of dealers so it kind of took
the fun out of the whole thing.
I did manage to get some goodies for what I thought
was reasonable prices.

This is what I got:

Really cool 1950's wicker bag, £10.


Lovely vintage earrings, £4.


Awesome 1950's novelty skirt, £8.

On our way home we stopped in Golders Green for
a feast at our favorite vegetarian restaurant and
then we had quick look in my favorite charity shop.

This is what I snagged:

Jewish cook book from 1961, 50 pence.


Woods Ware Beryl from the 1940's, £1.50 for the lot!

SWEET TWEET

This cute little playsuit will be waiting for me when
I come back from the Rockabilly Rave on Monday!

I'm in the middle of packing my cutest outfits, lucky
we're not having to think about weight restrictions
since we're taking the car.
I really looking forward to the Rave right now, can't
wait to see my Swedish friends and jive my butt off!

I wish you all one awesome weekend!

NEW CLASP

I guess it's a bit silly getting all excited about
something as unimportant as a clasp but to me
this new clasp is a mutts nuts.
I got this bag on eBay over a year ago and the
seller clearly lied about the condition, the clasp
was old and cracked and fell off not long after I
got it.
It's been sitting in my bedroom longing to be
used for quite some time so I finally went to a
cobbler and asked if he could make a new one
and use the old one as a template.
White leather is apparently pretty pricey so I
asked if he had any red leather and he did and
as you can see it really gives the bag a bit more
attitude.
