Lady Melbourne

After deciding that I didn’t own any decent tops, I scoured Etsy and found this little number which I posted under ‘recent purchases.’

Tweet I’ve made a few purchases recently that I can’t wait to arrive in my post box! I’ll make sure I tell you where you can purchase once they are in my hot little hands and I can photograph myself.

This shirt is part of the Etsy purchases I made recently, the dress from yesterdays post was one of three items. This shirt actually looked like a fire engine red in the photos, but I don’t mind that it’s more of a burgundy.

Recently I posted about some purchases I’d made on Etsy and they have all arrived. This dress from Far From Here was too big but I love nothing more than wearing a pure silk dress(as I’m sure you can tell!).

Tweet I’ve been away for the long weekend here hence no blog post since last Friday. Even bloggers get a holiday right?! Anyhow, I delight in a good country op-shop but usually find that on weekends (when you get out of the city) they are shut. For some unknown reason on Sunday of all days [...]

Tweet Ah how I love a good shop around on Etsy. Here are some delights coming my way some time soon. Black Silk ‘Argenti’ dress: Far From Here Red silk blouse: Boudoir Barbie Cotton lace blouse:  Hump A Stuff

Who here op-shops, charity shops or thrifts(for my overseas readers) on a regular basis? I would probably end up in an op-shop once a week.

As I am injured at the moment(what, you haven’t heard about my sprained ankle?) there may be a lack of outfit posts this week. Crutches = not sexy. However, being the bower bird(read: compulsive shopper) that I am I have plenty of things to show you that I’ve picked up lately that haven’t yet featured on the blog.

Tweet Happy Friday sweet readers! I’ve started to source pieces to wear to LMFF that is approaching in a couple of weeks. I was at one of my favourite second hand and vintage outlets the other day looking for a very specific piece (silver, brocade skirt- help me if you can!) but found this velvet [...]

While I was out I got chatting over a cocktail about how Melbourne women seem to lug around tote and shoulder bags full of everything from flats/heels to umbrellas. I did a quick inventory of my own accessories closet and found that pretty much all of my bags were on the medium to large size. Why?

As long as something is beautiful and good quality, the price is generally(and I say generally as I’m no chamillionaire) not an issue for me. I don’t care if it is from and op-shop or designer, the way it looks and feels is more important to me.

With that in mind here are some of my recent purchases…
