PEACHY KEEN








Thrifted peach pants, vintage white top, thrifted bag, Toni Bianco shoes, vintage gold cuff

 I bought these cute little peach dress pants a few weeks ago while op-shopping. At the time, I didn't realise how much I would come to love them. In fact, when I picked them up I thought "these will be OK if I alter them into shorts". It wasn't until today when I actually tried them on that I realised what an amazing pair of pants they are! They're the perfect shade of 'salmony-peach' with a hint of shimmer. I couldn't dare tell you how much (or more appropriately, how little) they cost me... let's just say you might be envious : )

B E T S E Y

Its been a long, long time my friends. Yes it has. Ive been organising all of those annoying last minute 'things' that need to be organised before one travels. I havn't even started packing. Thats another adventure, for another week. I'm not planning to take much though. A few Winter basics should get me through to first few weeks. The rest will be down to some foreign op- shopping luck. I've never actually shopped second hand overseas! It will either be a complete disaster or the discovery of a wonderful 'new' world.

I've also been trying to get everything together for the re-launch of LadyMaple Vintage. All the stock is ready to go (bar a few dresses which need to be hemmed) and the new logo is done. I just need to gather some more energy in order to complete all of the photos, editing, listing etc... I've been sick for the last week so energy has scarce. Hopefully with a little more vit C and zinc, as the doctor has suggested, I will be up and running like normal within the next few days. In between all of this I have managed to go on a few vintage hunts for myself and for the store : )

I picked up this vintage Betsey Johnson dress which I absolutely adore. Its hard to come by desginer vintage in Perth op shops, so when I saw this I was pretty amazed. The only other designer vintage item I have is a cute little black Moschino belt. The dress is black velvet and covered in little copper cats. I for one am not a cat person... but that wont stop me from loving this dress :D.

Fifi isnt a cat lover either but she doesn't seem to mind.

Lately.

Today I posted my first few ebay sales! I loved getting the packaging ready and seeing everything come together. It's very exciting knowing that each item will be making it's way to a different part of the globe!






 I've also done a little bit of op shopping this week for the store.. and myself of course. Things seem to be drying up though. It's becoming much more difficult to find AMAAZZING pieces. You know when you find a vintage item and and a little voice in your head says "oh.. my.... god". Well... that hasn't happened much lately! I did manage to find a few goodies today and I will do some outfit posts in due time! Amongst the lovies is a puff shoulder velvet black dress and a floor length brown velvet gown (looks great with a belt!).
 Given my obsession, I have such an overload of vintage stock for the store. Im considering putting up a few 'vintage lots' in the online store in order to clear out for the new season.

Also, a friend of mine will be doing an advertising feature on LadyMaple for her University assignment! I can't wait to show you all how it turns out. Hopefully we can feature some of the new stock. Since its almost Spring, I'm thinking a floral theme! A bit cliche'.. I know.

Spring Fling.

Spring is on the horizon and inspiration is everywhere! Some of these handbags and shoes are from my personal collection while some will be featuring in the LadyMaple Vintage Spring collection. I can't wait to get the spring collection photoshoot started! Think straw hats, little white socks, flowing dresses and floral of course.

 


Yes my friends... you guessed it, a pair of vintage, HANDMADE SALVATORE FERRAGAMO VARA PUMPS!
