August Collage

Charity Shop Treasure, flowers, print, colour, Roman Road and Shepherd's Bush Market... a collage of sorts for late summer.

Frosted Fabrics

I spotted this pink sequin embellished fabric at a shop on Uxbridge road today. Love the sequins forming the sketchy animal print, the scalloped edges and the gold/pink combination. The black and gold fabric hanging next to it was pretty great too, and looked amazing wrapped round this mannequin as a strapless dress. If only I was better at sewing....

Metallic

I have always been a bit of a magpie, so when I read that metallic is apparently 'in' this season (such a bad expression) I knew I could dig out one or two things that were defiantly shiny. I really want to wear my Aladdin-esque sequin waistcoat more, but I never quite find enough guts to do so. Maybe this winter I will succeed.
