the next contenders

Rings from Planet Blue and Mania Mania
The before:
An inexpensive necklace I liked (found at a random jewellery shop)
The after:
I preferred it cleaner looking with the rings alone and balls removed (used pliars)
I can't get enough of fringe jackets & loved this old men's one found at the Brooklyn flea. Been wearing them a lot in between blog pics
Grey suede shawl with fringes that almost touch the floor. Perfect.
Cotton maxi dress
Took this sneak shot in the changing room at the Artist & Flea market (it's from Gypsy Nation). The owners told me they've seen some of you visiting after the blog post about them. Hope you liked it there : -)
The long black neck piece and brass coin necklace are from the Brooklyn flea

ps. Thanks everyone for the ASOS votes and support. I didn't get enough votes to win but it was fun taking part :-)

    Love the finds, especially your little DIY on the necklace and the dress. Bought one similar on the weekend from Zara but it's short. Can't wait to wear it.
