Rainbows...almost an outfit post

So, Saturday's Ebay post has taught me that most of you are as willing as I am to do very bad things with Lenny Kravitz - but that at least one person was offended by the butt enhancing jeans! I guess you don't see that kind of thing in the Cath K catalogue. Anyway, I shall keep it clean today, and as it's been pouring with rain since I got back, I thought I'd share a rainbow dress I picked up at the Frock Me Vintage Fashion Fair.



Darn it, my head's come off again.

orange wedges -  Faith - won voucher in online comp


Another rainbow photo to show you is my bargain flowers I grabbed in Tesco on Friday. Sweet williams, reduced from £3.00 to a yellow stickered 39p! I'm not sure what they thought was wrong with them, most of the buds were closed and they were just in need of some water. [Makes up for all the daffodils I've bought from supermarkets which refuse to open]. I have plenty of proper vases, but rather like them in this cleaned up tin can left over from our dinner that night!

Happy Monday all. And if I have an excuse for gratuitous pictures of semi-naked men, I'm always gonna take it! [Probably in the next Ebay post. I saved the best til last -heheh]

    Dress looks great - like it was made specially for you yesterday - and I love the shoes. Sweet Williams are such lovely flowers - I'm going to look for some today (but I doubt I'll get your price LOL) xxx

    Adore the dress - such a perfect fit. What's it like at the back? Do you have your newly pert butt cheeks exposed? ;0)

    Like your flowers in a can - I put my herbs in cans like that.

    Thanks for linking up x

    I couldn't think of anything to say re Lenny Kravitz or those bottom enhancing jeans yesterday...and words still fail me today!

    You look gorgeous in that dress!!! And that's so funny about the flowers as I've got a bunch of Sweet Williams on the go at the moment that were reduced to 75p too - nowt wrong with them!

    About the daffs. If you gently pinch the very top off them when they are closed (that outside shell bit, can't think what it's called!) They will all open.

    Offended? I thought your last post was totally badass (excuse the pun).

    Those flowers are so sweet in their little tin vase. Makes me want flowers on my shelves, instead of my lifetime collection of kinder egg toys and bad-taste holiday ornaments.

    Oh Lakota, what a laugh that ebay post of yours. Brilliant! Great dress indeed. Suits your personality I'd say (even without knowing you). xx

  17. Randi13 June 2011 at 11:38

    Oh how that last post made me chuckle!

    Love that dress and shoes, such cheery colors and the dress fits you like a dream.

    Your tin can vase is wonderful, I don't think your sweet william would look half as lovely in some other vessel.

    Adore the dress and I'm after some orange footwear, those sandals are just right. Now, following your headless shot, I'm left reminded of this image from Aphex Twin's 'Windowlicker' video http://goo.gl/luk7q. CHEERS!

    I'm really, really keen on the dress, it's lovely!

    offended? I thought your post was very intertaing amor.
    gorgeous dress, I love flower prints frocks.
    what a bargain, I adore fresh flowers and the can idea as a vase is great gives it a southern look.

    Lovely dress! Your bum enhancing ebay post made me laugh a LOT! :)
    Might have to invest in a pair of those "bum enhancing" jeans hahahahaha!
    Thanks for your advice on my post, i'm definately going to try Google Chrome and see if that helps!

    I'm trying to figure out what 2 stone is and I got a general idea....You sure you need to lose that??!! I think you look great, love the dress. Of course your last post has, "I got big butts'," going through my head and most likely will all day. I kind of hate you for that.:D

  26. Brittany13 June 2011 at 16:00

    Your flowers couldn't have looked more lovely in a crystal vase! And now I have to keep my eyes open for a mat like your's...it is the perfect backdrop for fresh flowers :)

    oh I wish I looked that good in a dress, would most certainly need my head lopped off to do it justice!
    Supermarkets are unbelievable for the rules they have on reducing or throwing away produce ! Its criminal. Well done you on your bargain flowers. xx

    The print on that dress is amazing. And I can't believe I have missed naked men. I'm offended that I haven't seen them...

    The dress looks fabulous, and I always love discount flowers! I also chucked a lot that someone was offended by butt jeans, they will hate my latest post ;o)

    Maybe i should get onto CK to knock up a pair in floral print?

    Hi Lakota, your vintage dress is fab! I have been looking at some 50's style dresses online and I would love to try one on to see if I suit them. wait a bargain with the beautiful Sweet Williams, I always thought they were a great name for flowers! Bxx

    What a gorgeous dress, a perfect colour match for the shoes. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to buy their own flowers from the reduced section in Tesco. If I waited for SqueakyDaddy to buy them for me, it'd never happen.

    That's a lovely dress and a good price - I always think vintage fairs will be too expensive so I don't go to them these days. The flowers are beautiful and they look great in the can - who needs proper vases?!

  47. DearHelenHartman15 June 2011 at 18:50

    The dress is darling and as blogger with complaints about showing what you found on ebay, your head isn't really missing anything but an ache, so let it go off on an adventure where people have a sense of humor and Lenny to keep them happy.
