A few months ago when I was sick, the Husband came home from Tesco with this cute blue dress. I’m impressed with some of Tesco’s clothes recently, especially the coats and dresses. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos (there was really low light and my photographer was getting a bit impatient).

Last weekend the Husband and I took advantage of a perfect, crisp, sunny fall day at the Paulaner Octoberfest in the IFSC. How I love Oct-fest! Beer, delicious sausage, lederhosen and music in a language I can’t understand.
For a fresh day outdoors, I wore my new surprisingly well fitting black bootcut jeans, a green and [...]

I’m quite smitten over this little ensemble. You’ll recognize my newly acquired full cream skirt from American Apparel’s Cali Vintage line. This time I paired it with a lovely little top customised by me and a vintage crocheted hand bag from the 1940s (more on that later)

I’m not sure what inspired me to put this outfit together, but after looking through my outfits I had a eureka moment. I also discovered the incredibly flattering lighting of my building’s elevator.
The top is absolutely gorgeous with the intricate details, mandarin collar and little cap sleeves. It is the shirt equivalent of a [...]
