Vintage Jewellery

For the last year I have been running a very small business selling vintage jewellery. I sell my jewellery through a little art + gift shop / art gallery called Splash, just off Smithdown road and over the summer I had a stall in Heebie Jeebie's vintage fair. Yesterday was quite a good day as I sold 2 necklaces and my favourite pair of silver earrings, which I am very sad to see go. But I can't complain - the money's going straight towards a Benicassim festival ticket for this summer.
These 2 brooches have just been added to the collection in Splash. I absolutely adore them.



Street style

As i have not yet plucked up the courage to take photographs of strangers, I have snapped a couple of my fashionable friends.

Here's Bethan looking very on trend with her nautical top and denim shirt. I especially like her bag, which she picked up from a market in Majorca a couple of years ago.


Matthew, in college, sporting his new studded Louboutins. Matthew has a really exciting fashion blog, I'd recommend checking it out... stylegrill.blogspot.com


Origami meets Fashion

Looking at stunning and innovative designs inspired by origami, I decided to learn some origami myself.

Here are some incredible wedding dresses by Christian Dior from 2007.




And my rather poor attempt at origami.
