****SOLD**** Sassy zig-zag summer halter, size 6, H&M: $15

****SOLD*****
Label: H&M
Size: 6 (smallish, 4-6)
A dear Trover recently said that she sometimes wishes she had a different pretty dress for every day of summer. I can understand that, especially since there are pretties like this one out there! Zig-zag print halter dress in light cotton, perfect for under a cardigan at the (casual) office, even better for after-office evenings on a friendly terrace or balcony!
Price: $15

****SOLD**** White cotton summer dress with beaded neckline, S: $20

****SOLD****
I recently acquired this perfectly lovely white & brown summer frock and was quite sad when it didn't fit in the boobish area. It's a size Small (I'd say a 5/6), but the chest area is definitely best for those 34B and smaller. The contrasting brown is delish, as is the sash belt, and the tone-on-tone white beading at the collar eliminates any need for jewelry. The gal I purchased this from found it in a vintage shop in Paris!
Price: $20

Psst - the conversation that took place when I tried this dress on at home went like this:
Me: Oh no! It's too small!
S. (glancing over): Really? Where?
Me (gestures at bust): All over hyah.
S.: So, your boobs are too big for the dress?
Me: Yep.
S.: So...that's a good thing, right?
M (glares): ....

I like the greyish-blue wash to this otherwise classic jean jacket. Gives it a bit of that broken-in finish that usually takes a few years to wear into a really good denim item.

Tea tins as table decor = treasure!

As many of you know, S. and I are tying the knot later this year. Which means I've got weddings on the brain in a big way. I can feel the neurons dedicated to 'table decor' strengthening their dendritic connections by the hour. They all fired perkily when someone sent me this photo to add to my ever-growing 'Inspiration' file.

Tea! We both love tea! Pretty decorative tins! Ditto!

Now all I need to do is find ones that complement the colour scheme. Here we go, the hunt for peachy/amber , and chartreuse/ lemon grass/pear tins begins!

****SOLD**** Vintage 60s blue & white dress, size 10/12: $20

****SOLD****
Spring dresses are tricksy, they need to be fun and light, but still substantial enough for those early mornings at the bus stop and evening walks when the sun's not out to warm the downtown breezes. Here's a fun 60s floral mod dress that is substantial (in terms of material) but fun (floral print). Would look very well with tights and patent red shoes!

****SOLD**** Summer blazer, GAP, men's M: $15

****SOLD****
Summer style for men is making a comeback from the unfortunate heyday of baggy cargo bermudas and logo polos. (shudder) One easy way to jumpstart his warmer weather wardrobe? A perfectly rumpled striped cotton blazer! There is a darker band under the collar should he choose to rock it.
This one is from the Gap, and is a Gap M, so is pretty baggy, but still sharp, especially with weekend jeans or khakis.
Price: $15
