Sorry I haven’t posted for a little while but Mom’s been really busy on her laptop so I couldn’t find a time to post! Yesterday I discovered Mom’s shoes that had a delicious crunchy bit. Usually these shoes are on her shoe shelves but I found them on the floor! The little beads fit perfectly in my mouth and they were so much fun!
Judging by the loud noises coming from Mom’s mouth, I don’t think she appreciated my display of artwork. She packed them in a bag and threw them out. Poor shoes.
Mom still loves me. She bought me a T shirt from Peter Alexander that fits me so well! I don’t know what it says but she keeps bragging to all her friends about it. I like it, it’s 100% cotton.
Dad bought Mom a box for Valentine’s Day. The box finally arrived. Mom was squealing with joy. What is it?
I’m dying to know what’s inside!
Shoes! Mom loved these shoes! She mentioned that they had some love hearts everywhere.
These shoes are heavier than me! I think Dad did a great job because I had previously destroyed Mom’s other shoes.
And now Mom will put them on the shoe shelf and never wear them again.

I am an avid food fan and buffets really lure me in. Recently I visited the Crown Conservatory. They have very fresh sea food and charming desserts. As you will later see, I totally over-indulged in dinner and had to loosen my snake-skin belt.
I opted for a sweet white minidress, suede wedges, these are my most comfortable shoes to date. I have stood in them for 12 hours and they will provide ample support. I made my jade-pearl-onyx beaded necklace the night before. My snake skin belt was a vintage souvenir from Berne, Switzerland, and the Bally bag, a vintage souvenir from Spitalfields, London.

This is my big watch- all the better for me to tell the time. A recent thrift find.
This was my 1st course. I really piled it up. Told you I was a glutton. The food is so fresh, waiters remove all food after a certain time. The oysters were delicious too.
Beautiful desserts – tarts, cheesecakes, meringues, lemon tart, mousse, jelly and cakes. I was in sweet heaven.

The setting sun was beautiful but my little Canon really does not do it justice. I rediscovered a silk linen skirt I’ve had for over a decade but have never worn. It actually has a matching short-sleeved jacket but I refuse to wear them together because it makes me look like a first lady candidate. I love the texture of this skirt and yes it has pockets!
Everything I’m wearing is vintage.
Recently I was lucky enough to come across these amazing plastic amber earrings from the thrift shop. They’re vintage Body Art (an ancient Australian jewelery label) which may have become extinct…
I love collecting vintage earrings. It’s become a bit of an obsession. If you don’t know what I am talking about, check out this post?
I am starting to get quite excited about my eminent trip to Paris. Is anyone going to Paris Fashion Week? I am booking my flight soon!

A little while ago I went to an engagement/21st party at a venue called Scooter in Balaclava. There was a huge vintage chair so I had to have a photo with it. I climbed on but it didn’t really have a comfortable back.
I am wearing vintage head to toe: gold knit dress, black snakeskin wedges, a grey suede bag, gold/black chain and a gold crest necklace I made.
If I am not holding a clutch, I like to have 2 drinks, so I can tame the bitter one with the sweeter one. Cute candelabra, isn’t it?
I borrowed this picture from Face Hunter. I just love the juxtaposition of this grand and magnificient throne chair amongst the rubbish in a back alley. What a glorious piece of furniture, the gold trimmings are to be admired and the velvet chair looks so inviting. I wish I could sit on this chair! And now for a more philosophical question: who is sitting on the throne of your heart?
Happy New Year everyone. Thank you all for supporting us this year. We are looking forward to sharing more beautiful and wonderful things and stories with you in 2010.
On behalf of Theodore and I, we wish you the very best in the next 365 days. Drop us a note anytime.
