Vintage Christian Dior Find!!

Ever since I saw one of my favourite fashion blogger friends Silje with her vintage Dior clutch, I've been coveting one myself ever since. So at the weekend when I went to the boot sale for the first time in ages, I was delighted to bag this gorgeous find:

The price was even nicer, the lady only wanted £5!!!

I'm thrilled with it-its in fabulous condition, the inside has had a lot of use, but a quality item stands the test of time and it has no flaking or signs of tears.

This is one vintage piece I'll be using regularly this season!!

My Daahling Mother In Law, How I love this Christian Dior!

My mother in law is just the best!! Her and my brother in law came to visit this afternoon and stayed for a while. I showed her my Chanel jacket and my newest Ossie Clark dresses and she said she would also carry on looking out for stuff for me.

As I 've said before, she has an excellent eye and picks up great bargains at the charity shops and boot sales. Anyway, as she was going, she just happened to mention that she had a vintage Christian Dior necklace and earrings and would I be interested? Well, I practically snapped her arms off!!! She said, I'll bring them round next time I come. As soon as they'd gone, I demanded Chris to high tail straight up to mamas for that set-I wanted it now!!

He came back a while later with a sorry tale that my sister in law had nabbed it without anyone knowing!! But I knew he was winding me up-typical, huh!!

Well, this is the set and to say I'm chuffed is an understatement. I've coveted a nice pearl necklace and also some Dior jewellery (I nearly bought a set on Ebay some months back but didn't) so I've a double whammy!! The photo really doesn't do it justice, as well as the pearls, there are diamante and red stones too and all the pieces are authentically stamped.

I just need her to find me an Ossie now, and I'll be in 7th heaven, haha!!
