Orot/Lights

Lights

All the places you've been to,worlds that you saw and discovered,all the questions you've asked on the way,

sometimes, you never dared to know.

lights, flickering in two minutes my life are passing by sounds from a different time,

the heart wants to wake up fast

all the roads are yours (or being opened for you) being discovered in front of you all you're doubts are disappearing

and now it's clear what is important and what's not

all the memories, the tears you have cried cleared your face from innocent,all the experiences that made your life worthy,

didn't let you sleep at night.

lights.....flickering.....

inspiration

Sienna Miller has a certain English bedraggled elegance, to her, whilst at the same time possessing a natural beauty.  She is not polished or calculated, but comes across as very natural and certainly has an innate sense of style.  With summer approaching we can all take inspiration from her relaxed and feminine approach, with its elements of kooky charm.

I Want It!

American Apparel - Sheer Jersey 3/4 sleeve boat neck - £17

Soo useful...& great for layering with a white vest in the summer.  I have a few of these but want one in every colour! 

American Apparel - sheer jersey long sleeve T - £22

These look useful too but prefer the 3/4 sleeve personally...

ps also love that their choice of models is not conventional, but no less beautiful in their originality (arguably more so...)

Marketplace

A few weeks ago, I revisited one of my old haunts...I spent a Sunday walking around Camden Market and exploring what it has to offer.  It struck me as a lot more seedy and druggy than I remembered!  It's like someone turned the lights on in the early hours after a really late party; you open your eyes and some of the glamour has worn off and begins to look old! ;)  And it has become somewhat more commercial as well.  However, it still retains a certain charm and there are some finds to be had.  There are still the same vintage and second hand bargains and handmade craft stalls.  What has changed significantly, and this is what interested me, is that there are now some really strong independent boutiques with their own individual style; that really adds value to the area.

My favourite boutique was JJ Park in the stables market (10c).  It had an amazing selection of girly vintage style clothing with lace, ruffles and bows.  There were fab leather bags and jewellery too.  The styling in the shop is just great and you will be spoilt for choice.  Promise.  Unfortunately I couldn't find pictures to do it justice, but here are a few:

Satin Bib Jersey Top - reduced to £45.49

Charcoal Grey Chiffon Jumper - £45.49

Large Ribbon Dress - £99

Ruffle Detail Dress - £95

Bow Skirt - £65

Textured Lace Petals Dress/Tunic - £80

Terminal D is another great store alas I have no pictures only the address - 016 Chalk Farm Road, in the stables market

Lily J is another great designer!

13&05 has a lovely vintage atmosphere in the store; they have a selection of beautiful and unique womenswear - Unit 30B Stables Market - see below for some examples:

£42

£35

£38

£40

Showroom womenswear - 91c & 585 stables market - 'flirtatious ruffles, elegant lace and delicate fabrics'

Oih London - Stables Market unit 846

Madam Shangrila - unit 849

Will try and get more pics next time!!
