my website is ready... but i'm not quite!

I've just finished making the first version of my website! Have a look www.foxandfeather.co.uk. The only problem is I have no stock...and won't have for a while yet! I can't afford to invest in the stock until I have a bricks and mortar store and can leave my current job and actually 100% focus myself. Anyway, you can join the mailing list online and I'll let you know as soon as I start trading. There will be a few bits and bobs of vintage stuff on there soon!

make me finish it!

I have been so lazy. For Christmas (!) I was given the best ever present. It is an Emily Peacock needlepoint kit for a beautiful 'KISS' cushion.

But I am so SLOW I am not even half way through making it. Oops. I thought that maybe if I wrote about it, I might guilt trip myself into being a little bit more dedicated. I actually got the 'HUG' kit too, but can't even begin to imagine when I might get round to starting it.... There are just so many stitches! And I am very easily distracted....





Emily Peacock has also done some collaborations with Rob Ryan, as you can see on her website. Lots of good things!

I want to be little and I want to wear this!

This has to be the most beautiful coat ever! Please can I be little again? I just want to wear it... Why isn't grown-ups fashion as cute?

This is why I love Etsy, where else would you stumble across something like this?

pure and orelia

It was Pure London (the fashion buying show) at the weekend. I spent Friday and Saturday building the stand I had designed for the company I currently work with (yes they will still remain nameless...) and then left before the show opened on Sunday. So I missed all the actual fun. As usual.  I did manage to have a quick run around pre-official opening and remembered that I hadn't bought anything from Orelia for ages! (who were there and looking lovely). Based in Brighton, Orelia make affordable and gorgeous jewellery and accessories.

I might have to buy myself this little gold and leather 'Franky' bracelet. It's only £25 so if I lay off my addiction to Barry M nail varnish for a couple of weeks I'll be laughing (well, they shouldn't make so many good colours...)

has anyone shopped here? tell me all about it...

Forever21 has just opened in London. I've not been to the store yet, but by all reports it's going to be taking on the likes of H&M for bargain fashion finds. The jeans look pretty decent on their website, but has anyone tried them on? They are definately cheap. Maybe not a good sign... Anyway it's a Californian company, selling Korean trends. Interesting newcomer to the UK fast retailing race!?
