Tea Time
This is my latest story using polyvore selections. I love playing with this program. Its so intuitive! But after it's all put together I realized how many cool little pretties are here that I would like to give a shout out about. The first little pretties that I must speak about are the 'tea time' and biscuit hair accessories. These hair clips have tiny little teacups, and biscuits (British word for cookies) attached.
The company that represents these hair clips is Hannah Zakari, an independent online boutique specialising in items which are designed or handmade by indie designers with an emphasis on cute, quirky and unusual designs. It's owned and run by Rachael Lamb, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Check them out at http://www.hannahzakari.co.uk.
Now, the other goodies in this story are from some big names, who are mentioned in the list below, and yes they are lovely! The Jimmy Choo silver sparkle heels are delicious! But I think in the future I will abstain from big names only to give the little guys some air time. So, please if you read this, turn us on to some independently made pretties to feature!
The polyvore thing does make it easy though folks. I read some on etsy about the bad rap they got because of folk grabbing images without permission and copyright fears. I hear ya, but now etsy is blocked from uploads to polyvore. So, if you want your images up there it has to come from another source, such as an independent website or blog. But really, airtime is airtime folks. Be careful of course, but get your stuff out there! It ain't gonna sell in the closet.

Name That Print Contest
Amazing rare vintage 60's Vanity Fair psychedelic print pajama set.
The top is an unusual printed piece.
I have tried to research the print design from this era but have no definitive results. It does look like a derivative of Hanae Mori, Pucci print or even Milton Glaser's graphic works from the 60-70's. Its just an awesome design and very typical of 1960-70's psychedelic textile designs.
If you think you may know the designer of this print email me and receive 20% off entire store purchase!
