The Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair
The Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair hit London yesterday and we were there bright and early to get those bargains. The best value for money was £15 a kilo where you could get shirts, dresses and skirts which were then weighed.
Here is some of our favorite finds
These ring combs were the best, this was all we used when we were younger and still do now!
These are a bit rusty but I think we were mostly seduced by the packaging
Love these small brooches which were a £1 each

♥ Paris ♥
We spent a lovely day in Paris yesterday with family thanks to the £59 return and engrossed ourselves in being a typical tourist and doing all the sights. We took the Eurostar from the brand new St Pancras Station, and arrived in Paris in no time at all.

Beyond The Chintz Eley Kishimoto S/S 10
We went to the Eley Kishimoto S/S 10 collection Beyond The Chintz.
A clashing of visual references in the home environment; a predilection for old value co-exists with modern commodity. The quiet madness of this chaotic affection surrounds the inhabitants, observed but not questioned the closed door.
The catwalk came alive with their signature bold prints which always reflect their textile background.
Our pictures were really rubbish so here are pictures from London Fashion Week website
This print reminds us of the embroidery piece which we saw at The Spitialfields City Farm last year
Loving the slouchy socks chunky strappy sandals
Clash of angles and chintz
Also checkout their pop up shop at 8 Kingly St Soho, which holds their current collection, flash pieces and sample sale downstairs.

Ornamented with a pattern (which has been cut out of another color or stuff) applied or transferred to a foundation; as, appliqué lace; appliqué work.
So following on from Do you like my Angles in print I decided to experiment in appliquéd leather. Here are the results which can be worn as a statement necklace or attached to a vest.
