Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I spent yesterday with a friend who wanted to view a property in Wimbledon (where the Wimbledon championships take place). We passed briefly through Wimbledon Village, which is a simply lovely place. There are lovely independent boutiques, with all sorts of fashion goodies.Somewhat pricey however, but still great for window shopping. I love to visit Wimbledon Village in the summer - it's a great place to people watch and an enjoy a cup of tea. There is also a farmers market, offering delicious fayre such as homemade jams and freshly laid eggs.
We arrived at the property, only to be locked out as the developer had given us the wrong keys. We soon gathered an audience, as my friend attempted to try the lock with the wrong keys seveal times. I didn't mind the audience as I was wearing a pair of my favourite shoes - silver dolly shoes with a bow, which I actually bought from a childrens shoe department for about £15/$24.
We gave up and went home to a lovely roast dinner with all the trimmings.
I have selected a few pieces from independent designers,mainly from the U.S (you talented lot you!)

LOVE the vintage gold and the black-and-white bag with the bright blue ribbon on it -- I've always liked those colors together. Also in love with that midnight blue silk dress!

Hmm, I get your point about the fashion buyer thing but I do not think it would satisfy my creative cravings (I like that creative cravings, creative cravings)

Anyway,

I adore the pink, black and turqoise dress, very pretty! Oh and your comment on "Surrogates" really has me thinking :) That IS SOO TRUE! Each person indeed has a define purpose with their name on it,---so much so only Lisa can do it :::smiles:::. I sometimes, try to think of the complete destiny as to what I'm really "the only one" (so to speak) that's designed to do as I do. But with all things, life reveals it. Thanks again for that :)!

I wonder what that Japanese skirt says? It looks really cool!

I love the cufflinks! I'm always on the look out for cool, new cufflinks.

Thanks for the nice comment :)

I also love your sense of style. In this post the Japanese skirt particularly caught my eye.

The jumbo collar dress? What!? It's perfect. Do you only scout for designers in the UK? I got a friend who used to be a stylist, but now designs her own jewelry that has been featured everywhere.

mayzani.blogspot.com, if you'd like to take a look. She's fierce with it:-D
