100 Followers? Here's a giveaway!

I've been twittering on for the last couple of weeks that as soon as I hit 100 followers here I would do a giveaway and here it is! I would like to thank you all for your kind words, support & comments (especially through my recent changes), they really do mean a lot to me!

So without further ado here is the prize. This gorgeous vintage 60's bag was destined for my own wardrobe but I do rather have too many black bags already so I'm giving it up for the prize! The lady I bought it from said it was from France, the quality is stunning and the inside is mustard suede. yum.

All you have to do to enter is either leave a comment below, like my Facebook page or tweet this post. I will pull a name at random out of a hat on the 19th June.

Good luck & Thank you! xxx

Songs for Saturday pt11

Today by Jefferson Airplane (Surrealistic Pillow, 1967)

My fave song by the Airplane, love em doing it at Monterey too.

Best of Etsy - What a hoot!

So as you can see the theme for this week is owls. I love their kitschyness and I think they are rather cute. One of my favourite pieces of costume jewellery is a giant articulated owl pendant form the 70's I got some years ago, unfortunately a few years ago copies of this style were all over the high street (and still are) so I feel like I can't wear mine. I'd hate to think anyone thought I'd got it from Topshop (such a snob aren't I!) Do you have any vintage pieces that have made their way into modern fashions?

Another new month is upon us and with is brings a new Rave cover. This is from June 1966 and features David McCallum who is most famous for his role in the sixties spy series Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Another interesting feature in this issue is the Ravers Pop Guide to New York, I'll bet most of the boutiques & clubs are long gone now....
