On a rather impulsive decision, purely based on meaningless visual pleasure, I changed my blog address, banner, blog name. Even the font. The only thing that's the same is my blog-and me =) Hope it didn't confuse you too much, what do you think of it-a good before and after? Explanation of new blog name: i love apple pie, and am currently trying to build up a collection of vintage clothes. Just say those two words to me and i get excited. =)
Surprisingly I haven't kept up with fashion week very well...I'm not going to post lots of pictures picking out my favourites, I've seen that on a lot of blogs but Lala's reviews really stand out to me. =)
I've found some items which I'm previewing here as they will be up on eBay soon, but comment me if you are interested in any, i might be able to hold it for you. =)
Here's the story of these Replay trainers: A few years ago I went through a Converse phase, I was desperate to own a pink pair i think. A walk past Lazybones made me spot these Replay trainers. In the style of Converse etc, I fell in love. They were in the 'sale' for £52, I'm not 100% sure what they were before, £70ish maybe.
Size: UK SIZE: 7/40 but i am a 6/6.5 and they fit me. US SIZE: 8.5/9/9.5
The label reads size UK 7/40/US 8.5 but I am a 5 in heels, 6 in flats and they fit me with extra room to breathe.
Anyway my mum bought them for me, only for me to push them to the back of my wardrobe after I didn't think they suited me. So they are barely worn.
Bottoms of trainers: mint condition, you can't tell they've been worn a couple times.
Flaws: The material parts of the shoe are less bright white than before as they have been worn a few times, and there are a few little marks on the rubbery sides of the trainers.
Overall: great condition, slight wear just adds to the trainers. Look almost new.
Enough chat-here's some photos.
Gladiator sandals are 'in' right now, so it's lucky I've got these.
Story: Dad got them for me last summer but they didn't fit.
Condition: Brand new, unworn. Not sure how much he paid for them.

Label: C'M.
size: UK SIZE 5/38 but they fit a size 6/39 too. US SIZE: 7.5/8/8.5
I know it's a bit confusing that the sizes are broad, this is because the label reads a size UK 5/38/US 7.5 but also fits my model who is a size UK 6/39/US 8.5.
The straps on the side are adjustable. Perfect with tanned legs on a summer holiday.
Overall: many gladiator sandals are below the ankle, why not opt for a unique style?
I also have an unworn, with tag, military aubergine jacket which could be worn by a large 8/10/small 12 (these are UK sizes), i'll put it up later but I'm off to bed now. I haven't slept properly this week and i need it.
Chez Beaute asked 'do you think someone small could wear it as an oversized jacket?'
Definitely. If you're a small 12, it will be a fitting jacket, on an 8/10 it will look great as oversized.
Any q's, just comment.
