All A Flutter

I've been obsessed with feather detailing for a while now, which is why I'm pleased that designers such as Marc Jacobs have gone down the ethnic tribal route for SS09 and included hints of featherdom amongst their collection.

These dresses by Jenni Kayne and Douglas Hannant in particular certainly get me all a flutter (apologies for the pun).

High street stores such as Topshop and Urban Outfitters have taken note and have included beautiful high fashion-esque feather accessories....the more peacock like I can make myself look the better!

Since re-opening my vintage store I feel like I spend an awful lot of time on eBay of late. So I thought I'd post a list of some my favourite eBayers, I know how tedious it can be trawling through the mountains of sellers so here's some handy links!

My numero uno, Maki Maki. The model/owner is an absolute beauty with the the kind of legs I'd kill for! Lovelovelove her ink as well. Most pieces go for around £70, the more original pieces have been known to go for upwards of £300 though.

Nice classic pieces (more often than not from Topshop) at a fairly cheap price. The only qualms I have is that the pictures aren't always of a great quality. Love the model's hair though.

Great styling, photography and models. There's always the odd item which slightly errs on the dodgy side but overall a good seller. They seem to specialise in avant garde pieces. Only downside is the P&P as they're based in America. Plus any item item over £40 will accrue tax charges on top of this which you'll have to pay before you can pick the item up from the parcel depot. I learnt this the hard way!

Very similar to the previous seller, although these pieces tend to be a tad pricier. Lullie Vintage does attempt to keep their pieces in line with seasonal trends though, and all the pieces are very individual. Even if your purse strings can't afford it, their stuff is great to look at purely for inspiration!

That's plenty of fashion juices for your eyeballs to savour over for one evening, there's plenty more eBay hot picks around but I'm too lazy to add them for now. Look out for the rest in my post tomorrow!

Wantlist Cont.

Some pieces I forgot to add:

Like I said in the earlier post, most of these pieces are a few seasons old in terms of the fashion stakes but I like them nonetheless.

I'm also seriously considering going ahead with a quarter sleeve as well, that's a tattoo that goes all the way around my forearm from my wrist to my elbow. I'll probably regret it 10 years down the line when it makes me look like a total thug on my wedding day or at a job interview or something but whatever, I'm all for the living in the moment!

Arghh I desperately need to stock up on MAC goodies as well, I'm down to the last of everything. I'm literally scraping my foundation out of the container, plus all my blushers have a hugeeee silver circle in the middle that refuse to stop growing :(

Can't believe that my student loan doesn't come through for another 6 weeks!

LAUREN MCBRIDE!

Kindly featured me on her blog this week, so it's only fair that I return the favour.

Every post is filled with wonderful snippets of bang on trend fashion pieces and she has the most adorable sign off as well! I am filled with blog envy, hers is everything mine should be!
