Festooned festivity





I stumbled upon this wooden trinket box in a flea market in Turkey. The distressed wood, the structure, the dinkiness and pretty much everything about it, assaulted my better senses until I was blinded and could see no better, more wonderful use for it than as a clutch.

I can never resist a good ol' peterpan collar, for which this dress was seriously thirsty. A quick visit to the haberdashery and Wendy was a happy girl. In other news: I've so gracefully discovered that I'm incapable of wearing heels in snow.

  11. I've always wondered how one could ever replicate some of the designer clutches that were box like whether they were bakelite or wood veneered....what a brilliant idea!!! You are one fashion-smart-cookie. Adore the addition of the collar. And love the coat/cape.
    Got your Xmas Day and/or New Years outfit sorted?

  23. Nadia is very difficult to wear heels in the snow, who wants to risk breaking a leg for one more day look divine, I do not want thanks. You look out of a fairy, an extremely sensitive and precious. Your blog has been one of the best discoveries of 2009. Merry Christmas from Barcelona beautiful, a muaaa
