Hello!

Welcome to my website! I'm Kathryn and I blog about  fusing Vintage and modern Fashion together to create a unique style. I am also passionate about slowing down the fast fashion industry  and hope to encourage others to do likewise through my posts showcasing  my personal style through the vintage and upcycled items that I have sourced.  I have now added a SHOP section to my website where you can purchase lots of sustainable goodies from clothing to china and everything in between! Through my upcycling  posts and crafted items I hope to encourage all of you to be mindful about what you throw away and to see that almost everything can be reused and made fresh and unique again through a little imagination.   I also blog about maintaining a healthy mental attitude through positivity and being mindful of how unique we are as individuals.

Cool Christmas!

Its gonna be a cool cool Christmas............. Of all my fashion looks that I create my favourite and most naturally inclined is "Laid back Cool". I usually achieve this by wearing something that I love and am most comfortable with and pair it with a more eclectic or seasonal piece.

Several examples of this would be my old rugged biker jacket which I would throw over a glitzy Christmas dress and off I'd go.... another an old 50s vintage mens tuxedo Jacket, that looks great day or night especially around Christmas.. I would again wear it with a short dress for evening or shorts or a mini for day wear. Another favourite look of mine is a dusky pink duster style 80s vintage coat which looks great with skinny jeans and can be worn day or night

I will showcase some of my favourite seasonal laid back looks below. Hope you like them.
