And they were all yellow.

Well! It has been a good while in between posts, must get wifi or cut my working hours! It's been a very hectic few weeks and I'll make a big effort to catch up on my blogging... lots in the memory bank to share.

Among my favourite things to collect is vintage imagery. Not only hard copies like magazines, patterns, photographs, flyers etc, but soft copies as well. Hard copies are fun to hunt down on eBay or in opp shops, but the web has vaults worth of oh-too-cute pictures just waiting to be drooled over. There are currently a few USB's sitting on my desk with a few thousand images from all over the place; Vogue magazine covers, McCall's advertisements and personal snapshots. I've had the urge to share a few fabulous vintage images I've either found in the treasure trove of the Internet or scanned onto my computer from magazines & books - so I will be doing so over the next few weeks.

My theme today is yellow, and the scanned images were found online. I think they're cute as a button, and whilst yellow is a colour that doesn't feature in my wardrobe, I'd surely love to own a fitted golden trench coat (last image).

Enjoy!

Hi there,
As I was up late last night checking my Facebook page before bed, a cute little advertisement caught my eye as it popped up on the side bar.

The ad was for Pink LouLou Designs, which turns out to be a very, very cute range of jewellery!

Creator Skye Campbell describes the brand as Stylish, individual and kind of eccentric, Pink LouLou is a clever reinterpretation of traditional bijoux mix pop culture and heritage. “Everyone wearing a Pink LouLou piece is carrying something special close to their heart”. They also have a blog so you can keep up to date with all their new releases, media pieces and shop updates.

This jewellery is a good price if you’re happy to indulge in a unique statement piece.
