I counted my shoe collection today, and I currently have 15 pairs! I know that most of you probably have a lot more, but that is quite a large number for me! Especially seeing as I only wear about 3 pairs out of that collection!
However, although I have more than enough pairs of shoes, my desire is not quenched! I found all of these gorgeous shoes on Etsy, each one with a sweet bow feature:



1. Black velvet - £6.75
2. Navy and white flats - £12
3. Cream pumps - £10
4. Silver metallic - £19
5. Pink suede - £13.50
6. Navy flats - £16.80
7. Black patent - £30
8. White and polka dot - £16.80
9. Brown with gold - £24

I have always been a lover of hats, but have never been able to indulge in this affection because my head does not seem to agree with the hats I put on it! They always end up looking awkwardly perched and just not quite right. I do, however, still like to look at all the beautiful vintage millinery that is out there - purely for the wonderful craftsmanship, if nothing else.




I found these gorgeous photographs of some fantastic headwear, from the Vintage Vogue pool on Flickr. Here are a few fabulous vintage hats that I found for sale:

A little while ago I made this dress from a vintage 50's dress pattern. I lost interest in sewing for a while but now I'm eager to get some new patterns and start making some things to wear!



Here are some of my favourites that I'm thinking of buying and making:

I am also really lusting after this coat from Etsy but unfortunately including the shipping to the UK it's about £60, which I know isn't much for a coat but I'm so skint at the moment! Plus, summer is approaching so I think it might be a bit of a useless purchase... but I want it so badly!! Please pleeeease somebody buy it for me! I will love you forever!

I might have to resort in making something for myself in a similar fabric. I found this pattern (the one on the right) which is sort of similar:
