Gosh, I've just realised how long it's been since I was over here. A few recent purchases:

A 1950s flocked dress from Etsy

Bettie Page 'fanny' skirt

Beach Bash nautical top

DPD - thank you! I love that spotty blouse - anything with dots is always a winner (I just bought four - yes four - spotty scarves off Etsy!)!

Wahine - thank you! So glad someone else has a coat addiction and it's not only me!!!!!!

Miss Sofia - thank you too! My coat collection is getting completely out of hand - they are all squashed on a rail in this tiny cloak room we have - can't wait for our house to be finished (it's coming along nicely) so I can have somewhere to hang them all and they can breathe properly - I have to keep rotating them so they don't get damaged!

Kate O Potato - I adore that flocked dress - remind me of Audrey Hepburn's dress that she wore the night she one the Oscar for Roman Holiday. They are all truly lovely finds!

Thank you Miss G, I hope one day my wardrobe will be as classy (and extensive!) as yours

Oooops just splurged again, this time a Fables by Barrie swimsuit... Mind you, it only cost £21 delivered and it's brand new Hooray for Ebay!

Kate O Potato,

I love your 50s flocked dress, so lovely. I too have the Beach Bash top. I love your new Fables swim suit too! I've been lusting after their chevron swimsuit bottoms. ;0

Some minutes ago I made a little bargain on ebay:

belt-buckle 1
belt-buckle 2

I don´t care if it´s really bakelite (although i´ll check when they arrive, just for the kick ) but I liked the look of both and for 1€ each I couldn´t do wrong

Just got this perfume bottle for 15 British pounds

And these shoes for 4,20

[Oh lala!]

Just bought this dress on Etsy. I can't wait to get it!

I finally bought a snood from Arthelia's Attic! It's not turquoise like the description said but more of a baby blue, but it does match the photo given.
I love it! I want one in every colour. I highly recommend AA to anyone looking to buy a snood, they are incredibly well made.

 

[Oh lala!]

This snood is really beautiful!

I haven't been on here for ages, but been admiring everyone's purchases. I have sold a bit recently, and it was my birthday, so here are my exploits since December:

Lovely Lisner demi parure from hubby for Christmas

Two brooches, one is Krementz, the other bohemian garnet

Three cashmere cardigans, one Braemar, one Pringle, one modern EWM

This Anthropologie skirt I have been admiring for two years

 

[Drappa]

A few vintage slips (one can never have too many, I think!)

Dents leather gloves

The Trashy diva Ashley dress, which fits like a glove

A green coat, which is actually much greener in real life, and looks great with the Krementz brooch

and lastly these two hats, one a present for my birthday, the other one is a suede Ken Blair cap

 

[Drappa]

I also recently bought some fabric, which I am really excited about.

This lightweight, very drapey cotton or viscose (no content on the roll), which will make a great summer dress I think

Some cotton for a blouse

A jersey with a floral print

and olive cashmere for a winter skirt

 

[Katinka von K.]

Drappa, so many wonderful finds! I especially love the second hat and the fabrics. I wish I could find fabric like this over here...

Thank you The cottons are from the UK, but the cashmere and floral jersey were bought in Germany!
