Dirtypretty all the way from BIRMINGHAM for one week at Mswandas POP UP






















Dirtypretty designer(above) and other fabulous upcycling talent like RoundLondon and QueenieandTed are holding court at the Fabulous Misswandas at 3-5 Whitechapel road E1 together with Sweetnotions. The latter being the purveyors of my latest handbags
at the ridiculous prices of £10 and £5.

Duly impressed with MsWandas pledge of only wearing vintage and upcycled for a whole year! Although only seen for a fleeting second she looked truly fab in her specially made silk 20`s dress.

Rewardrobe star Veronica Crespi is running one of the workshops throughout the week catch her if you can!

Christopher St James - causes Xmas havoc at 14 Goodwin Court






































Christopher St James  Xmas windows are up... well almost nearly!!! He has more pieces and loads more lights!! The fantastic masks were designed especially for him by some imminent artisan in Italy.
Christopher says that this year he is going completely out! I await with mouth agog how much more can he sparkle.

With his own studio in Paris which he travels to almost every week on the Eurostar, his shop is a little treasure of delight in London's dark dungeon months!! But not everyone is happy down the back streets of Covent Garden... there is a lot of tut tutting... is it too early? some say! A Xmas window in November?? oh my my ... but Christopher is having none of this and I agree... a little bit of fantasy, glamour and glitz is just what my doctor ordered!  

So go and support! Prices start from £20 and go way up for some of the vintage jewellery.
