Here I am jumping for joy because it felt like Spring........and then the snow came!  Those of you who've known me for a while know that for the last few winters I have been able to escape to Byron Bay to avoid the worst of the English weather. This year, sod's law, I stayed here, apart from three amazing weeks in India, and realised that I may have the best vintage coats in the world but absolutely no warm clothes to wear underneath...........

These are my favourite summer jeans. Found in Napier in NZ, during a cool snap, from a great funky vintage style shop called Two Lippy Ladies, imagine my shock when I discovered they had come all the way from the UK, from Hell Bunny, an on-line retro store. Talk about coals to Newcastle! But they were still a reasonable price (about £50) but, sadly, I can't see them on their site at the moment.
