UNICORNS! ^_^

 
Last week I took a trip back to Hampshire (from Cornwall) to stay with my Grandparents whilst working in London! On one of my days off I took my Grandma to my favourite little vintage/secondhand/antique shop in Midhurst! (The one I blogged about before, where I got the Liberty scarf from)!
 
Well, surprise surprise I found another gem!
 
A HERMES KELLY BAG!
 
Not sure if it is fake or not :/ I'm guessing by its price of £10 it may well be! But it is such good quality that I don't really mind :P It came with Padlock and key, and had Hermes lining and zippers inside! It also had backpack straps so you can wear it in multiple ways!...
 




 
At the same shop I also bagged 3 meters of this vintage fabric! It is SO bright I love it! Wanna make a summer dress with it :)...
 
 
There are quite a few other charity/vintage shops in Midhurst too! I got this red boyfriend blazer from another vintage shop :)
 
 
Really love the buttons :)


 A few days before returning to Hampshire I visited Falmouth with some friends. Falmouth is also home to a few really lovely vintage/secondhand shops! In one of them I spotted my friend spotted this old comic for 50p! Those of you who know me, will know of my obsession with Unicorns, so I absolutely had to buy it :P I will probably never read it, but it is just one of those things I had to own!...
 

 
Speaking of Unicorns, I have found myself recently warming to the music of Unicorn Kid! I heard his stuff a while ago and didn't really like it, but it is definitely growing on me! Especially his new track "Need U" which is out soon! It's SO 90's :)
 
He is 20 and from Edinburgh! That's enough for me to like him!
 
AND he has really cool hair! The boy version of how I want mine :P
 
 
I really love this song, however i'm a bit unsure of the vocals! A tad too squeaky for me!
But oh well...Check out his hair....
 

 
Think he may have re-dyed it brown recently, but still!

The Ragged Priest

Ahhhhh New AD campaign for The Ragged Priest :) This time they are going for the pastel trend whilst still keeping it looking Rock'n'Roll :P Pretty much want everything which is not surprising...
 
 




 I'm rather dribbling over these at the moment...

Liberty of London

I found a treasure in a Vintage shop the other day...



A Liberty of London envelope containing a silk handkerchief!
 I love the design of the envelope with the cut out butterfly that shows off the beautiful floral print. It is such a nice idea for displaying the handkerchief. I am not really a handkerchief user and I think it is too pretty to sneeze on, so I am going to make it into a bow, that could be worn in my hair or as a bow tie... (just to mention it hasn't been previously used, that would be rather gross :P)

Birthday !

It was my mother's birthday the other day, and me and my sister gave her a shared present. We thought it would be nice to give her a basket full of goodies. These included vintage items, handmade items, locally sourced smellies and items from London.

We also bought a wicker basket and sewed flowers on to it, which came from a scarf of mine that had broken. I also had a pearl necklace that had snapped and all of the beads from this went into making a pearl heart to hang on the basket handle...


Flowers...



Full basket...





On her birthday we went to a beach in Lepe country park in the new forest for a pic nic. It was beautiful there but VERY windy. I managed to get a few nice pictures before being blown away! We also went on a walk round the Lepe loop, which took us through fields, woodland, farm land and along the coast...

Panorama...




Having a bit too much fun in the corn fields...


Looooooooong !


I saw a Lama/ Alpaca! (not too sure how to tell the difference)...
