train in vain and dapper boys.

(vintage valentino jacket, purple lacoste sweater)

I haven't taken the train in a very long time, to say the least. Let's just say when I got on the train, I presented the conductor with my Oyster Card. Sounds fine, right? Too bad I was in the wrong country. Anyway, the vintage shopping proved to be worth the chaotic three hour ride (one word: delays) when I picked up lots of vintage goodies. I walked away with fifteen, yes, fifteen, different necklaces. And a cute pair of vintage shoes and fishnets. A favourite of mine is a gorgeous gold piece from Mongolia. In other news, I found this adorable video of Pete and Carl looking very dapper, and since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, I thought it would be appropriate to share. Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!

ik hou van hoeden.

I've been in love with the trilby hat ever since I saw Pete Doherty wear his first trilby seven years ago (ah, Up the Bracket ... who remembers?). Despite the fact I only have three (costs me £50 each!) I try to wear them with as many outfits as possible. They're just so good looking. I can't help it. Anyway - I thought I should share my recent vintage bracelet findings with you all. One word: INCRED. All five of them cost me a mere £89, with the two YSL circa 1970's being the biggest steal. My favourite one if definitely the circus inspired double-twisted design; so unique. In other non-fashion related news, I'm getting my rook pierced tomorrow! It's been something that I've wanted for quite awhile, and I'm so excited. If anyone could give me some tips on how to keep it from hurting and being a pain in the arse, that would be cooooool.

helpless need for a new technology device.

I really want a Blackberry. Like, I want one so bad, that I choose to hold my mom's Blackberry and type pointless messages to my mobile number (arms are super white but whatevs). Just so I can get use to the fancy buttons. I know, it's quite peculiar. Great bracelets and rings from Balmain, definitely going to be wearing those plenty of times in the winter. Oh, and HOW FRICKIN AWESOME ARE THE SHOES, MATES? Zippers. Brilliant. You got to love those vintage finds.

P.S - Um, Top Gear season premiere SOO SOOON. Obsession.
