Year of pleasure #11: Pretty socks


I've been on a bit of a downer over the past few weeks, not sure why really just lots of things getting on top of me (house moving getting nowhere, juggling finances, lack of sleep). I'm having a proper little pity party today!

It means the little things that wouldn't normally annoy me make me so irate! It took me an hour this morning just to tidy the house for today's viewings - not clean, no dusters or bathroom spray were involved, just picking up things and putting them away. It doesn't really matter but I was stomping around the house swearing profusely under my breath. Ella must have thought I'd gone mad!

Two things cheered me up - my lovely mum 'babysitting' Ella over the phone while I dashed round (thanks Mum!) and putting on these pretty cherry socks. Weird how something seemingly inconsequential can make me smile and completely change my mood. Yay socks!

Retro clothes

My final find of the weekend was the Ribbons & Taylor vintage clothes shop, again on Stoke Newington Church Street. They had a great selection of dresses in retro graphics (very 'now' if you believe the fashion mags), and loads of vintage jewellery (lots of it for a bargainous fiver).

I couldn't resist a pair of 1920s silver leaf earrings, only £15; Mark dragged me out before I sepent any more. Oh to be rich with a walk-in closet!

Mama Ain't Raisin' No Fool!



Another nice find in Stoke Newington was the Nippaz With Attitude clothing line. I think the babygrow in the pic was my favourite, but they also had a cool "What would Joe Strummer do?" tee and a Bob Dylan one that I've stored away for future reference (no pressure guys!).
