What a novelty

 Many a vintage lover always gets giddy at the prospect of a novelty print dress. Well I don't really know if this dress falls into that category, but boy is it dream. I won it on eBay 9 bids in, accidentally, I might add in the loo's at work, bidding on eBay alleviate's the stress of being in work hah. It's about two sizes too big, but I like that in a vintage dress, because it's less likely I will rip it being the clumsy fool I am.
I'd messed with my hair so much this day, but ended up with my Wallis Simpson style do, I feel an affiliation towards Wallis; I'm by no stretch a stereotypically pretty girl but I do try and dress my best, most of the time!








Inca wondering why I am being such a poseur. 


New cushions from Zara, I love anything insect, bug related!








Much love from your eBay addicted trollop.

  7. The outfit is lovely, and your hair instantly reminded me of Wallis before I saw what you had written. I'm loving those cushions as well. I can't find them on the website so I might go into town and see if I can find them in the shop.

    *PS* I know exactly what you mean about winning by accident. I've had that happen a few times before, too, over the years.


    *PSS* To heck with stereotypical views on beauty (believe me, I don't fall into that camp either and am woefully aware of it) - you are not just pretty, honey, you are absolutely gorgeous. I have thought so since the very first moment I discovered your blog and have only become more convinced of it with each new post.
