The button front skirt

Right now I'm wishing I had a high waisted button front skirt in my wardrobe...

It really all began with the Alison skirt from Wiksten's Fall Collection, but I missed out. I had my eye on the vintage one from Liebemarlene that eventually fell into the hands of Ms Thecatspajamas, but decided I would look out for one myself. How much do I regret it now that I've seen it rocked so hard and so well?

If I had access to a sewing machine I might be tempted to make the Wiksten version, as her pattern for it appears in the latest issue of Stitch Magazine (woohoo!), but I think what I need to do is publicly wish for it on this blog and hopefully ABSY WILL TAKE THE HINT AND PUT HER SEWING ROOM TO GOOD USE FOR MY BENEFIT.

eBay NOW!

Just added to the store...

Cotton Love

Oh hello again!

During my many hours online, I came across Cotton Love, a vintage clothing eBay store FOR DUDES, YES THEY EXIST:

They're based in the UK, so there are some lovely warm Winter things up for grabs! They seem pretty popular actually, I think perhaps I'm just a little slow on the uptake when it comes with men's vintage, but what the hey.

EBAY Now!

Hey everyone! We're still riding on the Obama-high right now but have managed to calm down enough to update the store, including the awesome classy Malcolm Starr number we blogged about before:


...and these lovely vintage numbers:

Also added to the store...

More items added to the store - these ship from Sydney! An awesome vintage red plaid boyfriend flanny, and a cute and risque nautical themed micro mini from the 80s. Wear it on its own or with cute shorts or leggings!

Etsy shopping

Must. Buy. These. Cute. Sandals.

Said Abs.

I said "I support you."

I think she's gonna do it.

We discovered Persephone Vintage via the awesome Cup of Jo. A store full of the cutest pieces!

The weather in Sydney is cuh-razy right now. Hot hot Spring. 31 degree celsius weather. As for me, I'm shivering in my boots in this Autumnal Berlin.
