Assorted Vintage Pretties

Hello my lovelies!

As usual I've had my eye on lots of goodies lately, sometimes I'm looking to buy, sometimes I'm looking to see what things are worth and sometimes I look at a piece over and over again just because it's so beautiful.

I keep lots of pictures for reference, here are some of my favourites from the last few months.




1920s wool swimsuit with all original bakelite buttons

Bakelite bangle which contains a compact - see below





Most of these items were out of my price range on any level, but isn't it nice to sometimes window-shop just for the sake of learning and inspiration?



I'm determined to get one of these big 50s American lamps one day!




Taxidermy purse with the body of a frog...let's all say it together now, EWWW!




Blue monkey fur coat, apparently very rare.





Such gorgeous colours, I know not all my readers like or approve of fur but I love it and wear it as much as I can.




Spectacular lucite box purse with inset flowers to the domed lid.



Fantastic Art Deco lamp base, etched satin glass. One day...!





Huge collection of midcentury Arabia finel enamelware.




Tiger print fur bag with lucite handles and frame, an excellent-ly fun piece.
Art Deco mirror with piecrust edges and little shelf. I'm dying to get one of these but I don't know where I'd put it.




Yet another lamp, it doesn't look too flash like this but look below, when it's lit up.



How cool is that!

I See Red


An outfit for no reason today. Do excuse the, ahem, odd look on my face, won't you? Because it's heatstroke-related; doing photos in the middle of the day was a crazy idea!


Neither the dress nor the shoes are vintage, but I love them anyway.

Worn with 2 of my latest bangle purchases, one is a fake amber which I'm loving at the moment.



I road-tested the crazy vintage sunnies I bought not long ago from Vintage Christine.

I'm not sure that they suit me but yep, you guessed it, I love them anyway.


And just for Sky Princess, here's a couple of shots of my bakelite charm bracelet.


This may well be my absolute favourite bracelet. So much so, in fact, that I paid full retail for it (gasp!)
