Call Me Cupid - A Thread Share Post


Dress: Swapped with Amanda
Hat & Brooch: Vintage
Blouse: Vintage (in shop here)
Sweater: Gift from Mom
Tights: Topshop
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell







Happy Valentine's all you Sweethearts out there!

Just as promised, I'm back all decked out in hearts and pink and all that other Valentine's themed jazz for this love-full week.  Actually - not really.  What I mean is that I didn't' intend to walk out of the house dressed like one of Cupid's street squaders....er, kind of actually like Mrs. Claus when I threw on Amanda's lovely little pinky-red vintage shift dress but truth be told, I'm totally fine with that :-)

Miss Salvaged Strawberry herself, sent this perfectly mod beauty of a dress over my way for our monthly Thread Share.  Being so cold as it was - (isn't that the complaint these days?) - I didn't shy away from wearing layer upon layer even if it bulked this 5'2 petite gal up like a linebacker (I exaggerate).  I was cozy and warm and that's truly all that matters these days, right?

Yet again, Amanda and I styled the dress up so similarly - funny how that always seems to happen?!  Red and black and patterned tights were the name of the game for us.   Take a leap over here to see more from her remix.




So before signing off - I wish you one loverly loverly heart filled day.  My internet presence has been a little sparse this week as I prepare to take a team of teenagers to compete in a drama competition this weekend, but I do hope to catch up with you all soon!  As for tonight - the Mr. and I will be celebrating over dinner with one another - though I do believe that love should be celebrated in small ways each and every day :-).  Cheers to just that!

Love bunches darlings,

  20. Sorry I didn't reply to your comment sooner. I am never sure what the etiquette is - do I reply on my own blog or on yours?

    Anyway there is kind of a sweet story about how I found out about my synesthaesia. My boyfriend was telling me about it when we first met because he was fascinated by it and I was like 'oh it's like how everyone has colours they link to words' and he was like 'aaaaah! You have synesthaesia! Let me glomp you because I think it is teh coolest' or something like that. :) Anyway I had never realised it wasnt normal because it is stuff in my head so I thought other people see colours in their mind in the same way. Hope that was interesting for you.

    Also - I do love those heart print tights!
