wearing: vintage mini dress (with velvet floral pattern!), cardi - opshop, tights - gift from Razzamatazz. purse - vintage, oxfords - vintage and sunnies - vintage.

I just feel like i have so much on my plate lately. I've had my hands full today (literally)! The top photo is me walking along the street with an arm full of vintage finds for up coming collections in store. I look a bit like a crazy lady and my over sized sunnies don't help but oh well.

Finally a post with my lipstick. Why didn't someone tell me how difficult it is to wear bright red lipstick! I'm so bad at not rubbing my face during the day.

I found these vintage sunnies today and quite like the faded lenses.
I also found these amazing velvet cushions (below) with vintage doilies!
A great addition to my eclectic lounge room/office space.

Great day shopping/searching-for-vintage but not so good on my poor brain.
Thankfully i have a fun and (sort of) relaxing night ahead.

I can't believe its already Australian Fashion Week next week. Wow

Just a few photos of my latest purchase.

Pickle Things! The lovely and clever Stephanie from pickle things makes amazing felt food!

Being a tea lover i just had to get these but she also makes veggies, sushi, pigs in a blanket, pancakes and different types of sandwiches!
AND they are made from 100% recycled materials.

Made for kids but loved by me =) these tea bags are going on my bedroom wall.

(p.s don't worry i didn't make that tea with my teabag toys - its my ginger&lemon tea breakfast)
Steph also has a blog (

wearing: vintage blouse, long cardi - dotti, vintage velvet mini, spotty tights - ebay, stone necklace - present, black back pack - vintage and vintage boots!

Saw these vintage italian lace ups and picked them up just in the nick of time! Some lady came up behind me and asked if they were my size and if not to 'hand 'em over!'
'Yes, my size! haha bye'

They were a half size big but hey thats what socks are for! I wasn't going to give up such a great find over half a size!

They went great with what i was wearing and matched the wooden buttons on my cardi. So i swapped my black (now almost dead) boots for my new vintage italians! Plus they have a heel and lace up tight around the ankles with extra long laces. Sorry to be bragging but i'm just smitten.
Ahh ..

wearing: tee - american apparel, leggings - mink pink, socks- dad's woolies, boots- vintage, cape - azuki, bag - vintage, necklace - vintage, bec& bridge tote and the button rings is another DIY design by me!

Well if your from sydney/melbourne or there abouts you would have also noticed the cold today!
Frankly i think a lovely sunny but crisp cold day is a little bit of the worlds natural magic.

I'm a big fan of nature and one of my life dreams is to travel very very far north to see the northern lights.
So i dressed to keep warm today and took on a bit of a comfy 'models off duty' look.
When i buy stock for my vintage store i have to carry it around all day so i stole this bec and bridge tote off my sister which is great cause its huge!

Also i've realised i've been doing a lot of jewellery in my reviews and would like to do more clothing designs aswell. So if you have any suggestions on fresh new designs/designers for winter let me know. Or maybe you have an etsy or ebay store of your own and would like me to review something? email me lover! - emmlucey@hotmail.com

wearing: tee-sportsgirl, lucky 13 shorts, bag - vintage, acorn necklace - lazy jane and tights - falke.
and yes i am floating in that second photo. I'm magic


I wore this shopping last week. I was feeling sort of off (You might say 'rebellious') last week, due to minor - not so minor events, so my outfit kind of followed. Messy hair, dark clothes, chipped nails and ripped stockings (I'd never intentionally rip my dear falke stockings but you get the gist). But who doesn't love a bit of grunge now and then?

As you know (if you have read the last post) I'm into gold jewellery lately so these rings are my new "gold" editions (and kind of the first - all my other gold rings are a bit primary school).

The round one is my handmade button ring i made from 3 vintage buttons. I ordered some ring bases off etsy and just glued them straight on with a hot glue gun.
And the second one (the fan/wing looking one) was only $10! I love it.
And of course I'm addicted to the acorn necklace from lazy jane (reviewed below).

Hope you all had great weekends!

Product Review: Acorn Necklace by Lazy Jane



Photobucket

Product Review: A corn necklace


I have recently converted to wearing gold jewellery over silver. Me! The person who has been wearing silver over gold all her life! Recently I’ve been leaning towards gold because I feel a classic style breeze in the air. Frankly I think it’s the next step the fashion world is taking after the boom of oversized silver armour rings covering our entire hands over the past year.

Photobucket


Or maybe it’s my love for this piece that has swayed me. But who wouldn’t come over to the gold side for this darling! Not to mention the stone is the ‘colour of the season’ (mint green, ofcourse).


Oh and did I mention... it’s an acorn! Charming!





Item type: Jewellery - necklace
Material: Vintage Swarovski, brass parts, goldfill chain, findings and hook clasp.
Colour: Gold chain and cap. Pastel pink leaf charm and the hero of the piece is the mint green Swarovski crystal stone acorn.
Feeling when wearing: Delicate and dainty.
Best climate: oh any =)
Looks great with: A lovely Alexa Chung style blouse. Its also is a great piece to slightly soften a dark grungy look
Tips: Treat like it was a baby, it’s almost as precious as one! Though you don't have to worry about your precious item from Lazy Jane as it travels to your doorstep as every piece is beautifully packaged (see cute 'Lazy Jane' jewellery box below).
Price: $32. Prices on Lazy Jane range from $3.50 to $60
Store: http://shop.lzyjn.com/products

On this occasion i wore my Lazy Jane Acorn with my new cream puffy blouse - opshop, nude singlet - American Apparel and high waisted shorts - cassette society. I also wore my new DIY button ring i made myself which compliments my acorn necklace and makes the jewellery more of a feature of the outfit and helps it stand out.
What do you think?

why am i awake?

oh i remember! Because I'm a fool who forgets to take care of herself. And also because i finished my book last night and haven't bought the next one yet so instead of a little read before bed i get distracted by blogspot.

I feel like a stress ball.
Let me explain... When people are stressed they pick up this squishy ball (known as a stress ball) and squeeze the living daylights out of them to relieve stress. But where does all the stress go i wonder? It is transferred right into the core of the stress ball you say?
Well yes, i feel like a stress ball. I think i need a stress ball.. and someone to slap me across the face so i cease this pointless rambling.

Stress balls are a gimmick anyway.

The weekend is now here though i don't know what to do with it (and its a long/3 day/holiday weekend too).

(Oh yeah, by the way heres an outfit. I wore this the other day whilst working and running around for the spindizzyfallvintage store. I really liked this outfit actually, real comfy. Got in on the splash of cobalt blue trend for the day - full piece-vintage, leather bag from colarado and favourite boots)

wearing: jungle singlet- vintage, shorts (wow i am wearing these to death)- lucky 13, spotty tights - ebay, favourite boots (also worn to death) and velvet pull string bag - vintage.

Wore my jungle print singlet as a final farewell the other night out with friends as i have decided to sell it this week.

I like wearing it with black shorts or skirts and my red lipstick. I am loving my new red lipstick (mentioned a couple posts ago) but haven't posted any outfits when i wearing it. Hmm, i will soon (hopefully).

I'm glad you guys liked my interview with Sara&laura! (below)
I always loved reading their posts. I'm sure we'll see them again someday and it will probably be within the pages of some sort of foreign edgy magazine.

Here's some of the items in the 'Spin Dizzy Fall' Vintage store this week (ending on sunday)

sportsgirl long skirt, cropped floral tank, pastel blue lady pants
velvet floral blazer, gold dancing skirt, butterfly blouse

Blogger Interview: Laura & Sara from FeelGoodLookCool

Photobucket

Photobucket



Identical twins Laura & Sara are tall, slender, blonde and bold.
Just recently this captivating duo announced to shocked fans and followers that they would be closing their unique style blog ‘feelgoodlookcool.’

Photobucket



I, myself, have been an avid reader and loyal follower of feelgoodlookcool since I started blogging and was quite upset to be saying goodbye to their refreshing posts (not to mention their sleek and classic style outfit inspiration).

They often posted photos of mouth watering lunches, daily outfits, suggested movies or restaurants and best of all they are candy addicts and loved showing photos of their little ‘picnics’ and bowls of ‘candies’!


Photobucket


I had a Q&A with the twins to find out things like 'their all time favorite candy' and why they decided to stop blogging on ‘feelgoodlookcool’.



Name:
S: Sara
L: Laura

Age:
S: 19
L: 19

From:
S&L: Helsinki, Finland

Photobucket





1. What got you into blogging?
S: I lived in Sweden few years ago and we wanted to show our new clothes, feelings etc. to each other so we decided to start blogging. But when I came back from Sweden we decided to hide that blog and start a new one (feelgoodlookcool) together to share our passion for fashion, food and other interests with people.
L: I have always love different kinds of styles and wanted to share my style with other people.


2.Being identical twins, did you ever get up to any fun twin tricks?
S: haha oh yeah. For example when we were about 14 years old and we had on-the-job learning week in our school. I worked in a clothing store with my friend and Laura worked in one coffee with her friend and we wanted to change the places so I went to Laura’s job and she went to mine hahah and they didn’t notice anything even though we made many mistakes like my friend called Laura at her name when the boss was there and she of course wondered why my friend called Laura because the name was Sara ahha but it was so funny and didn’t cause any harms!!!
L: I’m not very good what it comes to math so once Sara did my math exam =) and there is lots of little tricks we have done.


Photobucket



3. You girls recently decided to hide your blog, why?
S&L: Yes there is quite a lot of reasons for that but maybe the most important was that we didn’t feel that we were the people that most people supposed us to be. We have grown up and maybe some day we will start blogging again when we know what kind of picture of us we want to give people.


Photobucket


4. What do you do and what do you do in a normal day?
S: Every day is little different but almost everyday we work few hours in an office. It is an evening job so in the morning we go to shopping, meet friends, go to cinema or walking and of course we have a lots of school work now before our summer holiday will start.
L: yes pretty same things that Sara listed. After hiding our blog it feels you have so much more time per day because writing posts and taking pictures took quite a bit of time. I don’t know if it’s good or bad thing:D

Photobucket




5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
S: I would love to live in California, Usa or some other smaller place in USA.
L: I would also LOVE to live in California. Maybe some day I will =)

6. What are you looking forward to the most this summer?
S: FREEDOM. AHAH I mean there is so many things like sunshine, cycling, picnics, strawberries with ice-cream, shorts with a cowboy boots, traveling to California and long mornings and nights.
L: Even the word Summer makes me smile=) I’m so exciting about our upcoming trip to California in Summer but also the smaller things like long, warm nights at the beach, summer clothes are something I’m so looking forward to!

Photobucket




7. What inspires you and who are your style icons?
S: People who are happy the way they are by being natural. People who love others and are warm and nice. I love Miley Cyrus because I feel she accepts herself.
L: Everything I hear, taste or see inspires me. Like yesterday I saw a very very pretty little girl with freckles and long hair at the super market and I got inspired by her. My style icons are people who really can wear any clothes they want no matter how big or small they’re and I notice it when people are confident and they know that they look good. These people are most stylish.

Photobucket





8. Whats your (current) Favourite:
Nail colour?
S: For me I don’t like to use any colour but I like black.
L: I’m very bad at using nail colour but let’s say rosa because of summer.

Shoes?
S: hmm wellington boots right now but I love ballerina shoes.
L: I’m so obsessed in wellington boots!!! No matter if the sun is shining =)

Brand of Clothing to wear?
S: Acne.
L: It can be Ralph Lauren or H&M.

Book?
S: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin.
L: This is very difficult question because there is so many good ones…hmm…sorry I can’t decide.



Photobucket



Place to shop?
S: Soho in Nyc.
L: I love Stockholm because I know the places there =)

Place to visit?
L&S: I loved Nyc.


Photobucket




Food?
S: Different kinds of salads, Chinese food, Asian food, gourmet pizza with rucola, baguette with cheese, smoothies, berries with natural yogurt, yogurt ice-cream, tortillas, some soups, porridge. Just some to mentioned :D
L: I love food so this is sooooo difficult one but at the moment I love thai food, pumpkins bread, different kinds of salad made by me =) , scones and vanilla cone.

Film?
S: My sister’s keeper, Pretty woman etc.
L: There is so many but The pride and prejudice is good one. I like Keira Knightly a lot.

Favourite thing to do in your spare time?
S: Go to the cinema and try some new restaurants, buy a huge candy bag and walk in the same time with my best sister, spend hours of hours talking with my cousin and sister…
L: Thanks my dear^^J I love also talking with my sister in our big sofa at night, taking long walking outside and reading blogs and magazines.


Photobucket



9.What is your all time favourite candy?
S: The best question ever but at the same time the hardest for people who are candy addicts :D But I really love Candy king especially all the chewing ones. SO bulk candies not chocolate.
L: haah what a question! I think you know us well:D hmmmm I love fruit candies mixed with salt ones. I always do hamburgers and put them all in my mouth at the same time:D hahah maybe the only time I’m quiet because I can’t speak:DDD

Photobucket




10. Tell us the meaning or reason behind your blog name (feelgood lookcool)?
S: First I have to say that when we created that name we didn’t think about it that much but now I think that it is a good name because everybody should first feel good in every way before they can look cool because you really can’t change who you are.
L: Yes, you look cool when you feel good, so simple =)

Photobucket




11. Will we be seeing you again in the future?
S&L: We would say YES because we have so many dreams what we would love to share with people so if our dreams comes true we’ll definitely see you all great people some day =)

Thank you Laura & Sara for your answers and I can't wait till we can see you again!
