Fashion should be fun!  And Polyvore is one place that is for sure injecting a whole heap of fun back into fashion.  I read about this on one of my favourite blogs, Ann.  So I sashayed over (in an internet…

“Black-adder” cardigan

I finished this cardigan just before we set out on our trek but didn’t get time to do a post about it. Do you remember me mentioning some rubber/plastic coated jersey knit, stamped in a kind of scaly print that…

AT (After Trek) update

11/04/201015/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized8 Comments on AT (After Trek) update

I’m back from our “holiday”!  I’ve just looked at my last post BT (before trek) and noticed that I wrote we were trekking 120km.    120km?  How disgracefully inaccurate.  The correct and official distance of the Cape to Cape is 134.5km. …

Call me crazy.  I am crazy.  I’m insane.  Sometimes I swear I am a complete and utter lunatic.  I took my photos this morning and posted about my skirt (see below).  I even posted on Wardrobe Refashion.  I kept looking…

“Moody Milkmaid” skirt

31/03/201015/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized2 Comments on “Moody Milkmaid” skirt

I know I’m not the only one to be completely inspired by the Celine spring/summer 2010 collection.  A deceptively bare collection, almost monastic in its simplicity but oh-so stylish and oh-so now.  Minus the fussy design details and opulent prints…

Knotted rope necklace; a tutorial
