In The City It's Alright

Me and Aubrey had a clear out yesterday. Just put up a few items on Ebay. Mostly grungey/90s stuff so click away if that's your thing.

No Rumble At The Jumble

I didn't manage to make it to the jumble sale, so I will be doing a how-to of Ebay selling in the next week instead, watch out for it! xx

Sunday Sunday Here Again

It looks like all Sundays for the forseeable future will be spent in the 'Work' room, without managing to get dressed or track down the Sunday supplements. Thankfully I have been working on some survivial tactics for the up and coming final months of my degree. My mum was inspired by Toasts nightwear collection and so made me some amazing brushed cotton plaid pajamas for christmas, complete with tartan bows. They are from an old 50s pattern and are the snuggest thing pretty much ever. Francis (above centre) is never far away, he doubles as a hot water bottle. I also managed to track down the perfect lecture cardigan and rucksack this week, so now I really have no excuse for a lie in. Back to the Books it is.

A slip in time...

Vogue arrived in all its glory the other morning, and I loved all the concentration on underwear and corsetting details. I work in a vintage shop so inadvertedly have lots of pieces of vintage underwear, so the interest in slips is perfect for my budget (Of zilch!).

If you have any old slips or mothers and grannies that dont mind lending, I would recommend Persil's Silk and Wool detergent. On a 30 degree wash they came out in their original stronger pastel shades, and smell lovely. These things really show the care you invest in them.

This post from the Style Diaries is where I pick up all my tips:
