Contrast Denim Shorts

I have a new item added to my etsy store: 
 A pair of denim cut off shorts with distressed hem. The left side has been bleached to a near white giving a speckled effect. The waist band sits about an inch and a half below the natural waist helping to give the shorts a very relaxed feel the outside side seams are also open an inch and half up from the hem to help give a relaxed worn in feel. 

SIZE: Waist band from side to side 38cm

denim shirt with patch pocket


This is a vintage denim shirt which has been re-made and re constructed for a modern fit and to be in keeping with to days "vintage grunge" fashions. 



A heavily woven silk 'tribal/ethnic' fabric has been sewn onto the right breast pocket giving the shirt a unique edge over other denim shirts as it is also highly in keeping with the tribal trends for this summer. 


 the width of the shirt when flat is 24" from the bottom of the arm hole to arm hole. and the length from the bottom of the collar stand to the hem is 27" making it perfect for a unisex garment especially if worn over sized

This shirt is a statement item and highly in keeping with current fashion trends, yet this shirt has the benefit of being a one off, you will stand out from the crowd in it. 

As all of the details have been done by hand this shirt is truly a one of a kind and there is no other garment exactly like it. 

This shirt is one of a kind and is a truly unique vintage revival piece.

Outfit of the day: chiffon and lace dress

A black chiffon dress with an elasticated waist and lace yoke, Paired with a pair of suspender leggings from nasty gal 



I think this is quite a cute little dress and the leggings help to add something different to it, and kind of toughen it up a tad.

vintage find


Today i went into London to do some research for a uni project. For part of this research I ventured to Notting Hill to go to some of the vintage shops primarily to see if there was anything that I could cut up and drape and use for inspiration. In one of these vintage shops I came across this, a really cute little puff sleeved leather jacket. and the best part is it was only £30. I just think its totally adorable.

vintage denim shirt #5

This is a vintage denim shirt which has been re-made and re constructed for a modern fit and to be in keeping with to days "vintage grunge" fashions. 

The shirt is long sleeved although the images do show the sleeves rolled up. 

The shirt has been treated with bleach to at both the front and back giving a speckled lived in dyed effect which has been used to create both the "X" on both front breast pockets as well as the inverted cross on the back. 

This shirt is a statement item and highly in keeping with current fashion trends, yet this shirt has the benefit of being a one off, you will stand out from the crowd in it. 

As all of the details have been done by hand this shirt is truly a one of a kind and there is no other garment exactly like it. 

This shirt is one of a kind and is a truly unique vintage revival piece.







This shirt is for sale in my etsy store, so if you like it go have a look. 

Vintage denim shirt #4

This is a vintage denim shirt which has been re-made and re constructed for a modern fit and to be in keeping with to days "vintage grunge" fashions. 


The shirt as long sleeves which have been rolled up. 
The shirt has been dip dyed at the bottom to create a soft lilac colour which blends into the light denim of the shirt about 1/2 way up. The sleeves have also been dip dyed in this way. (I have tried to get a accurate representation of the colour in the photos, but please remember that colours may vary from monitor to monitor) 



this shirt has a very soft effect and reflects the "pastel grunge movement" which is becoming popular at the moment. The shirt would work perfectly with a floral head band. as all of the details have been done by hand this shirt is truly a one of a kind and there is no other garment exactly like it. This shirt is one of a kind and is a truly unique vintage revival piece.



This shirt is for sale in my etsy store

Outfit Of The Day

I love this dress. It's by QED London, it's a skater dress with a full circle skirt and came with the little belt. The print for me just makes this dress, its quite unique and the colours just pop. Then on top of it im wearing a shirt from Urban outfitters, although i cant remember what brand it's from.  




I got the dress from a store i absolutely love called "enjoy clothing" although I live 300 odd miles away from it, I love shopping there, the store is full of vintage, retro and one off pieces as well as stocking clothing from independent designers all over the world.
