Ebay your heart out: Bunnyhut Vintage

One of my pet hates when vintage shopping on ebay is sellers who use the term 'avant garde' to excess. Bunnyhut vintage is one such culprit. Luckily, they're also one of the best out there for delightful dresses.

If you're willing to sift through their 80s cardigans and other 'avant garde' items from the same era you may just spot a gem.

Glistening brightly at me from my computer screen is this amazing sequin dress with sheer leopard spots. I want it now.

Competing for my affection is this cute and compelling quilted 'scooter dress.' I can't even ride a bike but I'm willing to try if it means I get to wear this dress.

Race you!

Having a fashion moment: Pushing Daisies


The fantastically sweet and dreamy dramedy Pushing Daisies is a visual delight in every way. Framed beautifully on screen, the carefully constructed set and costume design is a technicolour treat.

An alluring mixture of Alice in Wonderland, Audrey Hepburn, Amelie, Despertae Housewives' Bree, and songstress Kate Nash, Pushing Daisies Charlotte "Chuck" Charles is always perfectly put together in full-skirted 50s skirts and dresses, accessorised with ladylike wrist gloves, januty little hats, and shiny red lips. Part homemaker, part femme fatale, Chuck keeps things interesting by covering up with sharp trench coats, Jackie-O shades, and silk head scarfs. Steering clear of black, grey and white, Chuck champions colour and bold, beautiful prints.
Get the Chuck look at Carolina Herrera, Banana Republic, Anthropologie, Laura Ashley, DKNY and, especially, vintage. Happy shopping!
