More Apartment stuff!

When thinking of vintage, most will agree that Ikea isn't the first place that springs to mind. However Sweeden's second best export (H&M being first) have created a bed that would complete my vintage bedroom look...



VANVIK $399
Available from Ikea


I think a trip to Ikea is in Order!

New Apartment + ♡ of Vintage=

Those that know me will agree that it was only a matter of time before my vintage obsession made it's way into the decor of my home! My love of all things vintage has led me on a mission to find a corset laced mannequin and here are some of the beauty's I found courtesy of corsetlacedmannequins.co.uk



Aren't they AMAZING?!
There are only two downsides to these gorgeous mannequins;
1. The price- they range from £89- £395... Ouch!
2. Only available in the UK- BOO! As I am currently residing in the US!

If you really feel as though you must have a mannequin in your life but don't want to spend too much,  TK Maxx had a few priced around £35 a few years ago so it might be worth having a look to see if they are back in stock.

Happy Rummaging!

I Never Thought I'd be Saying This But...

Cycling shorts are officially cute again! That's right, I said again! However when I say "again" I mean it in a "Saved By the Bell Floral Print" kinda- way!
So how are we wearing this 90's throwback this time around? The keyword here is layers.
Wear under denim shorts or if you're brave enough, on its own with a light sweater or blazer and some killer heels. If you're looking for some inspiration, have a look at Mr Wang's SS10 collection!


Here are a few of my faves!

Spring's here!
You know what that means... Its officially socially acceptable to not wear tights! Before you do so ladies please make sure the pins are waxed and exfoliated. There is nothing cute about looking like a wilder beast!
Once that's done I cannot think of a better way to re-introduce your legs to the world than via the medium of shorts- AMAZING! Here are a few of my faves. Not ready for bare legs? Its fine,they also look cute with tights! Bring on the summer!

Ever since Jane Shepherdson's arrival at Whistles in 2008, the brand has gone from strength to strength proving that it can stand the test of time.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces.
