The Bow-Tied Lady

Bow ties are cute accessories. I tried making one from a floral material that I have at home and I must admit, it didn't turn out bad(considering I had to hand-stitch it). It's also so easy to do. Sometimes, when I want to get that vintage look, I just wear my shirts with a black ribbon/tie. Here are some photos for inspiration and as always, my favorite style icon, Alexa Chung shows us how to do it.

50's Polka Dot Dress from Dear Dorothy

I won a beeeautiful Dear Dorothy vintage-inspired dress and hair bow on YCLAD Magazine last October. I love love love everything about the dress--- the color, design and how it fits. The lovely Laura of Dear Dorothy was so kind as to hand-deliver it to me. She's such a sweetheart. It's definitely going to be my go-to outfit this summer. So retro. So stunning.

Retro Eyewear

The time has come for styles of the past. Vintage eyewear is now hotter than ever. It is easy to make a statement wearing these glasses, even if you're just wearing a plain shirt and jeans. It is definitely for people who love to experiment with different styles. It gives one an edge and also a geeky look(in a cute way). If you're looking for a cheap vintage eyewear here in Cape Town, you can go to Pedro's Bitchin' Eyewear. He has a wide collection of vintage glasses that will surely capture your heart.
