weekend wishlist

It's probably not the best idea to be lusting over shiny new things when I already spent half the weekend shopping already, but still...
1. My friend Jennifer showed me this Shoegazing notecards set, knowing very well that I would love it considering my tendency to shoot my feet now and again (see top blog banner!).
2. I saw a girl on the tram listening to music with cute babushka earbuds like these. Since then I've been convinced that I also need cute earbuds in my life ears.
3. Is it a camera? Nope. It's a pencil sharpener. Genius.

As a kind of "part 2" of my last post, here are some Twiggy-inspired items selected from Etsy. Think 60's mod shapes, brilliant bold colours, fun accessories, and a couple of micro mini dresses that Twiggy's legs would approve of!

current love: vintage collars

1. The Vintage Lace Collar in Snow White, 2. 20s-30s Detachable Bib Collar, 3. Vintage Lace, Crochet, tatting, detachable White Collar, 4. Vintage 1940's La Dear Detachable Dress Collar, White with Navy Polka Dots, 5. Vintage 1968 Simplicity Pattern

I love the idea of detachable collars. Why did they ever stop making them anyway? If I could actually sew, I might actually attempt to make that mod dress with the 4 detachable collars (last image). How fun would that be? It would be like having 4, well actually 5, different dresses just by changing the collars around. That's the kind of versatility that I like. So since I'm hopeless with a sewing machine, I spent more time browsing the already-made vintage collars in Etsy instead. See the collar in the 3rd photo? That one is going to be mine! Can't wait to get it in the mail.
