serious photo love

This photo is just utterly amazing.

From a series of photos taken of 'Sapeurs', a subculture of extraordinarily dressed dandy men from the Congo, found via Messy Nessy Chic.

You can read more about the history of Sapeurism on the Messy Nessy Blog.

I found the post really interetsing and started exploring the whole blog too... i love it when you find a site like that!

Love for Lana

Every now and again someone emerges on the music or film scene that just makes you do a double take because they're just...quite simply...wow.

I am currently mesmerized by Lana Del Rays haunting and moving album and seriously digging her whimsical bohemian retro style....

Style crush for sure!

A very vintage week

We had a very good press week last week - our Cherry Closet Vintage is sold in an Alice in Wonderland themed boutique called 'What Alice Found' by the sea in Bournemouth and I was interviewed by ASOS as their spotlight boutique seller in our shop.

Then we were listed in the Top 10 vintage shops in the South West by County Calling website!

Hurrah! Champagne all round!

We shall go to the ball

These photos of Venice's Carnevale Ball (via National Geographic) make me want to go to a masked ball MORE THAN EVER!!

Have any of you been to one?

They seem so alluring, romantic and exciting.

I might just organise one. Wanna come? bloggers ball?
