i wish i could sew

I followed a link (I can't remember where) and ended up on mame*'s Flickr set called "Clothes I made". Oh boy! Most of her outfits are made out of thrifted fabrics like bedsheets. Pretty! Such great stuff. It makes me want to learn to sew better or at least hire a seamstress to make me such pretty outfits. I could even provide the thrifted fabrics, I've got a ton of unused lovely things clogging up my craft shelves.

more shopping finds

I just found another site that doesn't deliver to Canada, but I think I want these items so much that I'll have them delivered to my friend in Portland, OR and then she can ship them to Vancouver for me. I'm sure she won't mind!

Isn't that polka-dot shirt dress divine? I actually have no idea how a shirt dress would look on me (especially since I'm pretty chesty) and I like to balance out my chest with an a-line skirt, but I love the dots and the peter pan collar. And I can just imagine that it would be the perfect dress to wander around Europe for a month when we go in September.

And of course, I can't forget that kicky little skirt! I wear skirts all the time and I love the stitching details and the dark denimn colour. Another perfect skirt for wandering and poking about in.

eye candy

I don't exactly know how I ended up browsing an online shop that I can't ever shop at since they don't offer shipping to Canada (Zappos, I'm talking to you too!), but I still managed to waste time gawking at these pretty tops. I love the retro feel (especially of the cutie sleeveless number on the left) and the strong prints. Black mixed bright colours creates some very lovely eye candy.
