the night it all started. oh, what a night. its an old photo, not the best and clearly badly cropped, but its all i have to remember. april 1, 2007. not that i'm a person for dates or anything..
my flatmates and i decided to do a "secret santa" this christmas, and we didn't get around to actually doing it til last night. i'm happy we did though, because my friend tom got me this AMAZING mustache mug! its possibly the best thing in the world right now. this side is the Charlie Chaplin stache, and the other side is a more classic thick curled stache. i love it!
while at brick lane on sunday i did manage to swing by Beyond Retro. in all truth, the place is hard to avoid. it takes a lot of effort to rummage through countless racks in one of the largest vintage stores i've encountered thus far, but it always pays off. i found this sweater glowing at me from across the room with its beautiful lace collar attached. and then this blazer popped out amongst the crowd. both are very exciting pieces that i'm happy to add to my wardrobe. i'm glad to have energy to look for vintage, because i most definitely had a recent phase where i couldn't be bothered. happily, i'm back into my usual vintage craze and it feels great.
