Keepthrift Clothing

today a friend of mine sent me this picture by mistake. because it was a pretty picture i didn't mind. meanwhile it was actually a dress/top that was on a beautiful girls blog: Keepthrift. as i know one of the lasses and the blog/store, i was more then happy to share my friends good fortune with you too.

Keepthrift clothing is the re-selling of beautiful, vintage, new, whimsical, and unique clothes and accessories. clothes that you do not find on a rail in a store or in any fast-fashion shop like Zara or Mr Price.

these clothes hold a story.

i am all for the Upcycling of clothes.

as Victoria Beckham writes in her book "That extra half an inch" :
Second-hand does not mean second class, as anyone who  has discovered vintage shops will know.

anyway, i wanted to show you the dress/top, so here it is. we love.

all images taken from the Keepthrift blog

summer sunglasses

sunglasses. yes, you may think this is irrelevant for you here in South Africa, but as i am heading over to Europe shortly and it is summer that side, (and they are always ahead in fashion) i thought i best investigate as to what is trending in that part of the world. 


in my research i came across Miss V Becks Spring/Summer '12/'13 collection. L.O.V.E. since i am particularly partial to miss Beckham i thought i would share with you what i found. 


sunglasses are again like lipsticks, they do trend but it is really up to everyone what suits their face and look the best.


you decide. 

or, to save you time (and money), why not look at the fast fashion stores like MANGO.
