Return To Blog Listing
A fashion/style blog from a fashion observer/consumer rather than an insider. Musings on everything from the art of sample sale-ing to making a bag out of old baby shoes. If you love Carine Roitfeld, vintage dresses, old Chanel bags, and also have an in

Dolly Cape
As work is winding down and my time is freeing up, rather than concentrating on the recipe to the perfect roast potato (no point really as Style Salvage Steve has the formula DOWN to perfection), I'm instead going to be playing catch up with pos...

In the Mood for Goldfinch
Have I ever said that if I were to be crazy enough to start a second blog, that it would revolve around "What I ate.../like to eat..."? Well, if you didn't know, you do now and whilst I sadly don't have the inclination to start ...

Would uUu...like to...sHoOOp?
My Hong Kong shopping tales continue and as tiresome as it's getting, at least here, there will be a feast of eye candy (or cutie loooor!) that doesn't require a plane ticket to the Far East to appreciate. The word 'chains'...

Stil NOT in Berlin
Pah! These bloggers and their books, magazines and what not. Join me in my quest to keep bloggers as the lazy potatoes that they are, sitting on their couches, stroking their cheapie Primark quilt, hugging Totoro dolls, channel surfing through t...

Be Selective
Yes, this is a vintage store in Hong Kong and yes, this cat was shot purposely as part of the picture. Another Hong Kong suggestion courtesy of a reader that I vaguely knew about before had to be sought out. Despite the distinct lack of vintage...

Plotting Plotz
Gallery de Vie is a store in Hong Kong that I wanted to check out for a while as it has a definite part to play in the whole 'indie' boutique development of Hollywood Road/Soho area. Walking around on streets and going into physical store...

Outed and Outlets
Most people here know that I'm a sample sale whore... and I don't mean to throw that w word in a casual kind of way. If there's an imperative sample sale on (some good uns' coming up in London...Nicholas Kirkwood and Emma Cook w...
Joy to the World
I didn't think I'd be updating purchases throughout my holiday but seeing as I haven't had the time to sit down, properly research and write anything informative I guess this will have to suffice until I get back. I kind of feel li...
Sweet Mieke
>> I know this is completely unrelated and chronologically confusing given that I'm in Hong Kong and these pictures were taken a few months back in Antwerp but they've been sitting on my memory card for a while and are frankly pissi...
Moshing for Moschino
After my little prewarning to Steve that vintage clothes are a scarcity in Hong Kong, what was the first thing I bought in Hong Kong? In probably what is the most organised charity shop I've come across ever, that seemed to contain a lot of de...
Secret Spots
Quite a few shops in Hong Kong operate a no-photo policy in their stores so sadly anything that I'm woo-ing and coo-ing about isn't going to make it on the blog unless I come home with a purchase. I didn't realise the Rise Commercial...
Hong to the Kong
>> I've mentioned it in passing and on Twitter a few times perhaps but I didn't want people thinking why there was an unsightly gap of days of the blog so I'll just say very briefly that I'm going to be flying to Hong Kong t...
Little Fruits
I'll admit it. I threw a minor grumpy strop after browsing in Opening Ceremony in New York. I think the strop started sometime after trying the Carol Flare coat from the Whre the Wild Things Collab (yes, I love it, and yes, it's complet...
Hallow\'s Eve
>> I could have assumed a blase/cynical attitude towards Halloween and brandish it with a "Pah! It's just a consumerist holiday to stimulate the economy..." brush-off. I'm not gonna lie. I was super excited to be in Ne...
Philly Philly Philly
>> Apologies for the lack of posting recently. It seems I'm destined NOT to be settled for the rest of the year as I'll be in and out of the country like some kind of crazed convict on the run. I'm off to Philadelphia for a w...
Delving into Delvaux
It's been over a week that this post title has been sitting in the vestiges of my brain chamber and for a while, I was lazing about posting this deluge of Delvaux images but I had to do my Delvaux......
Antwerp Vintage Trail
Ok, so I officially sucked at the treasure hunt trail in Antwerp over the weekend, and I'll happily wear that dunce cap for a while until I redeem myself on a Hampstead Heath orienteering course. Still the trip was not......
Ra Ra Ra
I'm cheerleading chanting because a) I'm back in London (at least for a while...) and b) despite the manic timetable of the weekend, it ended on a roaring RA note in Antwerp. Dan Thawley of Dan the Scout contacted me......
Treasure Trail Lost and Found
>> Ok so I blew my own orienteering trumpet a bit and now I'm eating my words together with a mouthful of Belgian waffle and a slick of sticky chocolate sauce. In fact, Steve and I came LAST in the treasure hunt, either faffing around ...
Antwerpian Treasure Trail
>> I know it must seem like I'm some kind of travelling nomad with no proper home but I've found myself booked up with travelling for the next two months. Having come off fashion month a little worse for wear and still trying to mak...
Paris Fashion Week S/S 10 Day 1 Rush
>> Yes I know it's day 3 and yes, I keep rolling out the same effing excuses and yes, this blog is looking like a more and more like the "Me Me Me Susie" show but I'm just gonna say this now that this week is a write off as ...
Warped Parisienne
Another rare entry into the Beauty School Dropout category. And no, it isn't because I've discovered that moisturising cream x is better moisturising than cream y. Sadly, as yet, I still have nothing useful to contribute towards the subject of......
Bank Holiday Break
>>Apologies for a back-to-back inconsequential piccy post but this was just to drop in and say that today was Bank Holiday Monday in UK, the last one in the year (save for Christmas and Boxing Day) so it was off......
