My phase of summer florals is still here!

My newest thrift find-another floral for the collection!

Well, I think you all know by now that I'm mad on summer florals and as I really love Carries black floral vintage dress, when I went thrifting I was hoping to find something fairly similiar. Well imagine my delight yesterday when I came across this See by Chloe black floral dress in the Haven House charity shop. It was on sale-reduced from £3.50 to £2.75!!

I also got a cream leather studded belt, which looks really nice with the dress I had on yesterday and a white leather vintage clutch bag!!

Channeling vintage florals

This weekends Carrie posts plus todays scorching weather has totally inspired me to wear my favourite vintage floral sundress-I need to wear a favourite something, as I'm off to the dentist in a little while-haha!!!

This dress is an original Marks and Spencer 80s cotton sundress thrifted from the charity shop, and is inspired on a 50s prom look. I've had it a few years now-it always makes an appearance at some point in the summer sun!!

Ms Bradshaw-More florals if you please.........

Its been a hot, lazy day and I'm lacking inspiration and energy after eating a lovely barbeque, reading and having a headache because of the horrid humidity-poor moi!!

As I'm still enamoured by Ms Bradshaw, here are some more florals I've found that are right up my fashion street............................

Carrie-ing on with the vintage theme which I'm so into at the moment, I thought I'd share some of Carries outfits from across the seasons of Sex and the City. I think they are great summer inspiration pieces, if you haven't already sourced that perfect summer look ;-))

Ossie Clark-Now and Then

A few nights ago, I was watching Steve McQueens biography (updated to add:the programme name was Steve McQueen:The Essence of Cool, ITV4) on TV and Ali McGraw was featured in part of the show. She gave me inspiration to do an Ossie Clark post, but I wasn't sure how to incorporate it. Wonderful Silje had exactly the same idea to feature Ali, unbeknown to me-our 6th sense at work again and she has already done a stunning 70s post, currently on show-do check it out for gorgeous pictures of her and 70s icons, showing how fabulous 70s vintage fashion is!

Anyway, I wanted to show how legendary Ossie Clarks collections were and still are-what better way than to show you past and present famous fashionistas wearing his clothes-enjoy!!!
