ok, my exams are over and Jo has been bugging me to update.
There were several interesting finds at the felt sale.
First up were pear-shaped coats by Jayson Brunsdon, fully lined, all seams hidden, in jim thompson-esque thai silk.
The material was stiff enough to create a scrunched effect but was not stiff enough to make to collar area have more volume. It gave me the impression of ‘neither here nor there’. Moreover, there weren’t any buttons so you’d either have to find your own brooch or leave it as it is. (Jo thought she looked like an onion) We didn’t get them, but they were really fun to play in. hehes
and Jo, had some flasher tendencies
(she did something like that again on the train today, but it was an attempt to keep me and a friend warm on the journey home)
There was also a Hansel jacket.
Top: Marks and Spencer’s tank top
Jacket: Hansel Sample Jacket
Bottoms: by Melly
Shoes: Charles and Keith boots <3!
AND a Zambesi wrap top (that strikes me as a more wearable version of Balenciaga’s Spring ‘08 RTW collection) even though it is from the Winter 2006 collection.

But the Zambesi wrap at felt was in a dark blue fabric with red and pink ovals. (if you click on the Zambesi link, the colour is called ‘confetti’)
The model’s hair covers the shoulder details partially but the silhouette is similar. What I like about the Zambesi wrap is the tie at the waist, even if tied loosely, it still creates an hourglass figure.
By the way, does anyone have a camera to recommend? I’d prefer to post better quality photographs for everyone’s benefit. My budget is about $500 (I suppose) [even though I don’t have money to spare after all my purchases from felt
