1967

Okay - so I'm still obsessing about Small Faces.

My heart still beats fast when I watch Small Faces film clips, dance and sing along to them in my car.
I thought I would inflict it upon all of you in the form of an Etsy treasury. There are parts of the late 60's for all to love. It reminds me a little of the hippy stage I went through when I was 13 & 14. I guess that's one of the reasons why I love this style of music and it makes me happy!

Enjoy this little taste of 60's style courtesy of wonderful Etsy sellers.

Russian Faux Fur

Okay. So it's officially winter in 6 days! Last night I went shopping for bargains at the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere, Chadstone! They had a VIP night on which mean I saved plenty of money on my purchases! I mostly bought gifts for friends - bit did manage to justify myself one goodie, a hat! Faux fur from Forever New. As I continue to read Dr. Zhivago in the colder months it will no doubt keep my little head warm! And I'll really feel like I'm in Russia.

Opp Shop Finds

$2.50 pair of vintage Taiwanese rabbits. Adorable!

No I didn't find this exact American Apparel skirt at the op shop, but the one I got is so close it's not funny. Black calf length with accordion pleats. Considering I was going to buy the real deal tonight, I'm so glad I went to the op shop at lunch. Saved myself $80! Yeah!

Vintage Bathers

Gorgeous vintage style bathers from Tigerlily. Love!
It is although a little hard for me to justify spending $200+ on something you are meant to wear in the water. Especially as I don't like water. :)

Hey There Doll Face

I stumbled across these gorgeous Tonner Dolls and was blown away. It is an American company which has been around since 1908 and they make some truly beautiful dolls with absolutely amazing outfits too. Here are some of my favourites.

Antoinette
Ava Gardener
Vasilisa

All my favourites just happened to have red hair. There are dozens of collections, from new fashion to old Hollywood stars and even Harry Potter dolls. With prices around $200, I don't think I'll be buying one any time soon!

Teddy Girls

The other day I lashed out and bought the Feb/March issue of Oyster Magazine…

I Fell in love with a photo shoot called ‘Teddy Girls’. It is a reference to the Teddy Boy subculture of the 1950’s.

Early 1950’s England made way for the first groups of teenagers who wanted to be differentiated from adults and children. As it was a few years after the war incomes were beginning to increase and some middle and upper class teenagers wanted to rebel against society, and show they cared about the way they dressed when going out. Thus they spent a lot of money on tailored Edwardian style jackets, shirts and pants. The name Teddy is short for Edward, referring to the time when King Edward reigned from 1901 – 1910. Thus the Edwardian revival was born. Some of these groups formed gangs and were involved in violence against rival gangs.

In my opinion there is nothing more beautiful than wavy fringes showing defined eyebrows!~~~

I dunno about you but it makes me want to go out and buy a million more pairs of brogues!
