I'd actually had my heart set on that very pair when the collection came out, and found these cute dupes for a cool $18:

The last thing I need right now is another pair of heels, but they are awfully tempting!

Hello, $18USD? Way tempting...think I might be emailing my husband this afternoon. I'll make sure to put the blame on you, RodeoRose for the link. ;) lol

Aannd they're ordered! 9 bucks for shipping though, ouch.

I´m not allowed to look at shoes! I forbid myself to. But I love the Miss L Fire beauties :)

Katinka! That hat is just glorious. Such an amazing colour and matches your hair! Jealous!!

I got quite a haul this Christmas. My husband bought me these:

and the pale blue Tea Dress in this photo from Vivien of Holloway:

And if I wasn't lucky enough, I bought myself these:

All in all a good load of new things! Haven't bought anything vintage for a while - keep getting outbid on e-bay and haven't trawled around any fairs for a long time. Something to look forward to in the summer!

If anyone does buy those shoes, could we have a report on the quality? :D I know they're not going to have decades of wear in for $18, but if they seem completely flimsy then I'd rather know...
I bought them and got a confirmation email that they are on my way to my mailbox as I post this. :D I am hoping there will at least be a decent sole on them. I have been having a dickens of a time finding shoes with decent soles. It seens like manufactuerers just don't care about that kind of stuff anymore. :(

I can't believe how awesome these earrings are. Or that I now own them!

These are awesome! A showoff on every tiki party. or any party, that is.

I got a teal dress from the bay, probably eighties-do-forties. I altered it a bit and hope it doesn't look eighties now.
The leather shoes are new, got them for 20 Euro.

Wahine - the dress doesn't look 80s! I really like the "ruching" on the bodice. And the shoes are great - what a bargain!

I bought this lamb bag from an antique shop today. It's quite roomy and I thought it was cute and unusual for an everyday winter bag!

Thanks LD! I was insecure about the length. One thing doesn't show in the pic: the hem is too little (not wide enough), the dress has a very straight form instead of an "A"-form. so it looks sort of awkward when I walk, esp. in the back (many pleads below the derrière). Shortening the dress might help a bit, but I'm not sure.
