She's a model and she's looking good.

My friend Kirsty modelling and looking spectacular.

Isn't she lovely?

Isn't she wonderful? This is my gorgeous friend Kirsty again spotted by everyone's favourite 'Facehunter' a few months ago in London.

A glorious day.

On Monday Kirsty and I wandered the city streets in the sunshine the next day popping into vintage shops and charity shops en route from the West end to the centre. 

What interests me is that charity shops these days have picked up on the idea of selling "vintage clothing" and often create a small boutique like area within their shop floor to display vintage product at its best. The thing is I always wondered why more charity shops don't do this to make them more "sexy" and appealing to a younger audience.

In Oxfam on Byres Road, antique furniture and floral patterned wallpaper (of course, no vintage look is complete without it) is utilised along with an old lampshade which acts as an earring stand. I particularly liked this 70s style top on the high-level bust. 

Around the corner, down Dowanside Lane, is an old Glasweigen vintage haunt 'Starry, Starry Nights' which in the wake of vintage fashion over the last 5 years or so, still hasn't lost its 'gypsy caravan' charm.

On Great Western Road, we popped into 'Watermelon'. I saw a saffron cardigan I was tempted to buy but decided it wasn't worth it. 

My only purchases of the day were this scarf from the Salvation Army at 99p and this matching necklace and earrings for just £3.95. Amazing bargains.

Kirsty's Striking Images.

These absolutely stunning images are of one of my dearest friends and ex-flatmate, Kirsty Buchanan. The images were taken by fantastic fashion photographer Lisa Bean Angwin for Liverpudlian fashion designer Kirsty Doyle.

I think the clothes and images speak for themselves. Just gorgeous. I am proud to be this gorgeous lady's friend.
