(Polka dot dress: Vintage CUE & in store now, Wedges: Jeffrey Campbell)
I could never have imagined a week so exhausting and long. My stress levels seem to be through the roof with the tasks of sourcing my new collection, trying to have everything organized and ready to be listed before i leave for Splendour next week (worst possible timing, i know) as well as trying to find myself a PA. To be honest, i haven't felt this way since i decided to quit my full time job and pursue my love for vintage, regardless if it meant being broke and unemployed. I can only describe it as that leap of faith you know you have to take in order to get where you want to go, but it's completely terrifying at the same time. I feel happy, nervous, excited, and a little bit sick with a constant stream of butterflies flying around my stomach right now. I know finding someone will help me immensely but it's getting there which is the hard part. It's going to be such a learning curve for me but i honestly can't wait to see where it will take my store in the coming months.
In all the ciaos this week, i decided to get out of the house and take some quick photos of this amazing black and white polka dot dress which is available in the store now. It's up there as one of my all time favourite finds. Why? I'm not really sure. It's simple, chic, cute and playful, and it's also a beautiful fit and one of the most flattering i've come across - i absolutely love it! I even contemplated keeping it for myself and as soon as i had listed it a huge pang of regret hit me, i knew at that very moment i should have kept it. But it doesn't matter, it will be going to a loving new home sometime next week and can flatter somebody else's body, sigh.
This is just one of the 150 new items available in store now and you can view the entire collection here. My auctions are closing in just three days so be sure to have a look to see if there's anything you like, i also have an amazing YSL dress in there too :)
Well I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Here are a few of my favourites this week:
1. Vintage CUE Black/White Polkadot Dress with Belt // 2. Vintage YSL Black/White Checkered Dress with Collar
