$44 op shop outfit




 I am very lucky to be surrounded by many great op shops, one of the perks of living in the burbs of Melbourne. Not wanting to rush out and spurge on a new wardrobe just yet I stumbled upon a few great finds at Family Life op shop in Chelsea. The trousers, top and shoes all brand new (apparently one of the assistants sources samples from various fashion houses). I picked up the whole outfit for $44, the vintage necklace was $2 from a garage sale. 
Have a great weekend folks and why not support your local op shop, great bargains to be had!

Guest Post - A country wedding



Hello lovely readers! Lady Sleekit has handed me the magic password while she has her ever-stylish feet up waiting on the impending arrival of her new enfant - exciting!



Some of you may recognise me as Sleekit's occasional partner in fashion crime and for those who don't my name is Anthea - I do hope you enjoy my guest posts over the next little while. (I'm a little bit rusty with the blogging so please bear with me.)
I'd describe my style as vintage with a touch of rock'n'roll and little bit of cowgirl thrown in for good measure. 



Melbourne has certainly turned on a magnificent end to winter and I attended a gorgeous country wedding in Kyneton - about an hour from the city.

Any excuse for a weekend away and of course to frock up! There was much toasting of bubbles to the happy couple and smiles all around.

Cheers to you dear readers - I look forward to next time...

New vintage finds





A couple of weeks ago, I attended a friends garage sale and picked up some fabulous vintage scarfs and jewellery. A neighbour was selling all her Grandma's wears and I was kinda like a kid in a sweetie shop, sifting through the treasures of this stylish lady. I love that I can give these gems a new home and re-invent them into my own wardrobe. I didn't really know my Granny but I hope that when I'm old and grey someone will come along and appreciate my treasures and make them their own.
