Chloe Sevigny

The Shins.....

John Stezaker



Really want to check this exhibition out at the Whitechapel Gallery.

Taking classic movie stills, vintage postcards and book illustrations,
Stezaker makes collages to give old images a new meaning.
By adjusting, inverting and slicing separate pictures together
to create unique new works of art, Stezaker explores the subversive force of found images.
Stezaker’s famous Mask series fuses the profiles of glamorous sitters with caves,
hamlets, or waterfalls, making for images of eerie beauty.

Treasures....

Look at these little treasures i found the other day and right on my door step...
Firstly this beautiful 1940s silk quilted bed jacket in the most perfect condition, it has these incredible voluminous sleeves and it truly made my heart stop and my mouth drop open.
I think it will justify not eating for a week.
Oh and not forgetting these funny little boys (I'am yet to think of fitting names) but they are just so cute i have no idea what they are, were, for and neither did the lady in the antique shop but they made me go all funny inside and i just had to have them in my weird and wonderful life. I shall investigate to find out what they are all about, but for now they are quite happy sitting on my window sill eagerly waiting for spring to arrive. x









Brigitte Bardot....





































































































































Recently i have been watching Brigitte Bardot in some of her old films.
She is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful french actresses of her time.

Year of the Rabbit....

Bubble...

I LOVE monday.
My lovely Boss Ashlyn the owner of OLIVE LOVES ALFIE, took me on a buying trip in North London.
I had such a fun and inspiring day, buying for the upcoming seasons and seeing the other side to the shop.
I fell in love with these vintage inspired sandals especially the lovely shade of Turquoise, and was beaming when Ashlyn ordered me a pair (they go up to big sizes as well) i cant wait to wear them with vinatge dresses in the shop in the summer.



Little Duckling has to be one of my favorites children's brands, it still keeps the innocence and simple shapes of children's wear, but mixes it up with a quirky vintage style and colour pallet. Their new Autumn/Winter collection is reminisce of early Norwegian style with lots of my favorite shaped dresses.

Here are some pictures of their spring/ summer collection which we have in the shop now:
