lookingforward

to knuckling down and setting some time aside Sunday to get the new pieces up and listed.

Think, great light blouses, and jackets - perfect for the transistional season on Spring..a few great vintage bags, and sensational vintage Jane Debsters! Think greens, sheer blouses, pokadots & faded coloured denim highlights.

spring

is finally here. oh yay! It feels great to take off a blazer and being able to wear blouses in their full glory withot shivering.
Love seeing the grass lovely and green due to some recent rain, love knowing that if if time permits, I may actually be able to work on a tan or use the pool. Its quite safe to say that many of us have been looking forward to this season for quite some time, pulling on a pair of distressed denim shorts and a singlet.

What are you looking foward to most?

inspired.

So after doing the usual - get woken up by Brendan coming to say hes leaving for work, pull myself out of bed, stumble to the shower, then stumble for coffee, get ready for work and leave. I started to feel very inspired after ready GPV's wonderful blog update, which you can read here.

Nicole, the owner, operator and mastermind behind GPV always seems to give me much needed inspiration when things don't seem to ever work out. She is living proof that if you really do have a passion for something, go ahead and follow it no matter what.

So this weekend, even though I had planned on nuckling down and getting everything done and all my new items listed Saturday morning, it will be replaced by blood tests and xrays unfortunatly. It will be done! I am determined, thanks to Nicole's wonderful inspiring post today.

Cannot wait to get to show you all these pieces that I have, they are amazing!

ohohoh

I cannot wait to go to Brisbane in 2 weeks for a major shopping spree..weooo!
After many a drunken conversation on Saturday night with a certain stylish female with THE best most amazing pants on, she told me where she got them from *fingers crossed* they are still in store in 2 weeks...if not I need to know where I can get cotton/linen slim fit pants..either plain or print or both!

While the boys (bf and his brother) play golf, I will be shopping shopping and couldn't be more excited, as I have been saving many many pennies for this weekend..

Excited!!

amazed

So two things I want:

- A pair of narrow, beautifully tailored printed pants that I can wear to work EVERY day for the rest of my life..or the season.

AND

- Every single item from 'Fall 2010 Shopping Guide' as produced by Style.com ESPECIALLY
a) Christian Louboutin Bridget's Back platform shoe



AND

b) Brian Atwood rz boot (Rachel Zoe's Colaboration with Brian Atwood)



Both stunning, and both over a couple of thousand dollars each, so a little out of my price range, ever so unfortunately, inspiration none the less.

Our listings ending in just over an hour, so be sure to check if you see anything you like.

listings.

Don't forget to check out our first few listings as they all end tommorrow!! With the amazing Red Double Breasted Blazer having a few people keeping their beautiful eyes on it (as well as the other items) I am looking forward to this time tommorrow for them to finally be sold (hopefully).

Speaking of excited, I cannot wait to share with you our next collection! There are such amazing pieces, that I am struggling to actually list and not keep for myself.

Think sheer, pokadots, pale greens and blue! With my love affair for sheer blouses continuing there are two amazing pieces reflecting this. A uber unique black sheer blouse with great denim accents on the shoulder, collar, cuffs and pockets. It is by far my best find!!

I do also intend on taking better photographs, and styling each piece..hopefully for this collection, but as stated in yesterday's post, I make no promises!

As we see the end of winter off, don't be mistaken, there will still be those chilly days, so don't forget to check out the blazers for sale, here, here, here and here

update.

After having a very successful weekend sourcing pieces I cannot wait to share them with the world! I am aiming to have all the new wonderful pieces up sometime this week. I use the work 'sometime' as everytime I set a time or a date, something always happens to push this time or date back and each time I feel so terrible for it. For example, last week, a man decided to run into my car so I am using up my lunch breaks to get my 3 quotes to get it repaired as apposed to going home for lunch and working on the next collection...or my internet/computer situation creates a problem, however hopefully when optus ring me back, one and forall my internet will be up and running properly and that won't be an issue anymore.

However, I really have some amazing new pieces that I hope someone will snap up and love as much as I do.

balayage

So I have decided (after being not so satisifed with my usual hair colour ) I want to get my hair balayaged..alot, but am afraid that no one will 'get it' that in fact I'm not actually being lazy, and that I have no idea where to get it done. Or even like MK & A with a bulk blone and just a bit of regrowth..

Don't forget

to check out our eBay auctions!!



9days left!





on a different note - this weekend, I will be out on a mission sourcing more amazing vintage pieces and I couldn't be more excited as honestly it is something I do, purely for the enjoyment I receive from doing so, so I can't wait to see what amazing things I can find.



With the launch of Vern & Sealy vintage's preview for our first collection, I am so excited to see where this takes me over the next months. I truly am so excited.

Little Treasures

I have always enjoyed cute little vintage glass bowls, they really are so useful and unique, but I think this has come to the point where I can't ever have enough.. So this weekend on my op-shopping expedition I will be keeping my eye out to increase my collection..can't wait to look for cute little nicknacks to fill the new townhouse with.. Oh and of course some amazing peices to add to my first collection..

I just wish I could upload pictures from my iPhone to here.. I used the photobucket app but they upload huge!! :( so confusing..still working on it.
