The sky up above-zing, BOOM!

So I will have a few more, rather random Wellington pix for you next post, but in the interim, thought I might get these old (May!) outfit pix out into the world, as I love this frock I got from Sarah last year!

I wasn't too happy with my photo editing, so had chucked them aside to try and do better later....but, really, there's sometimes no helping indoor shots when it's a grey day!

So, tough titty!

I am also rather besotted with these shoes I treated myself to last birthday, and they're the reason why I'm wearing so much blue this year!

And as a bonus....

Here's G's warped outfit for our friends Amber and Bela's Horrorathon (horror movies, back to back) a couple of weeks ago!

He totally gave me the creeps all night with this simple and rather fruity costume....

I went as a Goth, naturally, and that was the inspiration for my appearance in the June issue of  Vogoff !

Promise to love me for ever more

Well.

G and I just had a hell of a  fabularse weekend in Wellington!

Amongst other things, we spent Saturday in some mighty fine company, having brunch, checking out a rummage sale, and going to Vintage-Orama!

From left: Ria, G, my friend Brenda, moi and Trees!

Naturally, I started my Saturday with a Bloody Mary.

Doesn't everyone?!

Then we all got excited about our splendid brunch choices!

There were slim pickings at the rummage sale.

I met Aimee, the organiser of Vintage-Orama outside the venue, which happened to be Wellington High School!

No spotty schoolboys in sight, however.

Just as well.

At my age....

I wore:

Hat-60's, opshopped

Tights-retail

Shoes-Trade Me

Handbag-60's Rex, from my G 

Earrings-the sexacious Desiree

White beads-opshopped

Sunglasses-Catch a Thief

Aimee is a pretty damned foxy chick, so I schmoozed right on up to her...

Now, this is a smuggins face-G scored himself a Girl Guide badge...

Sweetheart Christine of The Vintage Cupboard had come up from Christchurch for the day!

Doing my best Queenly tea drinking pose...I was starting to flag about now, all the excitement just wore me out! 

If there'd been booze I suspect I would have lasted longer!

I bought this 70's does 30's styled maxi!

There were some sexacious wenches doing a bit of a show....

....spot G in front, inspecting their moves!

We ladies were far more discreet...

I think G enjoyed the show!

And then I had to go and have a lie down to recover.

It seems darling Claire has the same reaction to lots of excitement and schmoozing!

It was all jolly super, and I'm gagging for another bash at all Wellington has to offer!

Next time I might just need to take along a hipflask!

The sun that makes the day, that lights the way

Pix by Cousin Phil!

On Saturday morning, feeling exceptionally seedy from a rampant Flange practice the night before, Cousin Phil and I popped down the road to a vintage sale.
It was literally around the corner, and was a young lass and her Mother clearing out loads of vintage they'd been collecting for years.....and they've got so much that there'll be another day...or two...to snap up some goodies!
Despite attempting some restraint in the aftermath of Melbourne, I still came home with a few choice items...

The wrought iron thingy in my hand is a shelf sort of thing; G and I are fond of a bit of wrought iron. We've got  a couple of little glass topped tables that he has scrubbed up and painted shiney silver, and with the same treatment this will look splendid.

I ended up double bagging it after scoring this perfect deep blue vanity case, also satisfying my utmost matchy matchy desires.

Wearing:

Square dance frock-Retropolitan

Petticoat-Ecetera Vintage

Coat-50's, Two Squirrels

Tights-retail

Shoes-retail

Handbag-a Rex, opshopped

Sunglasses-Catch a Thief

Earrings-the sexacious Desiree

Skull beads-gift from G

Red beads-from the lovely Sue

Bow belt-from my gorgeous Sarah

I was strutting about for Phil, posing away, as comes naturally, when an elderly lady stuck her head out to enquire as to what we were up to....after being assured that we were just weird, as opposed to WEIRD, (her words!) she steered me towards a feijoa tree and helped me gather some of the delectable delights, all the while regaling us with all manner of information and stories.....I think she was just lonely and in need of a chat.

One of the two hats I just bought was a perfect carrier.

That's the other hat, the deep blue with the netting, and there's also a 50's Simplicity sewing book and two frocks.

Sadly, the pink floral frock does not fit my booboids, ( it'll go to someone I love) but the red and pink floral one most certainly does!

I was pretty happy with my loot.....and then I had to go to bed for a few hours to get over it all!
