Post-christmas delights

Well well well, it's been a busy while. And it will be a busier while before January is over because of exams oh joy. But before I fail, I can appreciate what the christmas fairy got me - a lovely and large box of vintage clothes.

Now, I like vintage. I like it a lot. And in this box there were several rather gorgeous things that were welcomed with open arms to my wardrobe. Highlights included a Westwood corset which is practically edible over a floaty purple petticoat, and a floral dress that begs for lace tights and smoky eyes. Pictures will follow when I wear these delights soon.

I have also acquired some matte topcoat (for nails, not walls). Gives a lovely effect over gold glitter - sort of, well...matte. And somehow velvety. And Essie's Wicked really does look wicked, in a blood-and-evil kind of way. Which is the way we like. Oh yes.

Now comes the time to do a bit of christmas-rejection searching on good old Ebay, everyone's best friend at this time of year...
