Friday Favourites & A Frock- Gifted

 

I'm gifted this week, I tell you...by the lovely Vix, that is!




The lovely bright dress and huge sunnies from Vix not only brightened up my day, a little old lady at the supermarket checkout commented on the dress too. When I told that a friend in the UK had sent it to me she was all 'oooh oooh OOOH, what a clever friend you must have, what fabulous colours she's chosen, and look how well it fits you!'

The legend that is Vix spreads even further :)






A quick flick of the jewellery pliers on the way out the door and I had double pendants to go with it

Here's what else she sent me.






Some Barry M. nail polish, some Danish jewellery, bindhis and a mini portable ashtray.




The bindhis went down well with VB, no surprise there





Two fabulous retro prints! I'm gathering a small collection, and these are beautiful additions, definitely my favourite things this Friday.




Whatever you get up to, have a great weekend!

    Oh.My.Freaking.God!! If I'd had the bosoms required to have filled that dress there's no way I would have parted with it. You look sensational.
    Look at VB playing happily, so cute.
    Have a most excellent weekend, you gorgeous creature. Love you. xxxxxxxxx

    Hello Gorgeous!!
    My God what an amazing dress & it came from one of the best too.
    The jewelery is lovely and that little ashtray is SWEET!

    I am sorry but the pick o little VB is just as cute as can be and gave me a good laugh. She looks like she has some sort of reptile hand. *hhehehe* Maybe she's hinting she wants some Henna.


    Have a good weekend!
