A couple of weekend acquisitions...
My awesome sister-in-law's awesome mother made this 1970s wrap maxi
back in the day and she gave it to me yesterday
(along with another 1970s treasure...)
It is similar to this one...
And I made this riDICulous headpiece during our headpiece making frenzy on the weekend...
I can't wait to wear it to the hardware store.
The slinky nylon fabric has magnificently flattering drape...
I am crazy mad for colour at the moment...
So I'm home again... it's stinking hot, I have a super busy week ahead and a mere
FOUR SLEEPS
until Helgastock2012.
And my phone is not working!!!
And I know, I know, I'm tragically behind on all of your blogs but you know
I love you all long time and I'll be over to catch up soon, I promise!

GORGEOUS! Wish I could nip across a couple of time zones for a headpiece tutorial!
I love that Maxi - you could wear it so many ways. The headpiece is extreme fabulousness.
!!!WOW!!! Stunning dress. You look amazing. And nothing better than a blue sunflower to top it off - Desiree will be proud of you.
I love how you like colour 'at the moment'. Cos usually you're so monochrome...

I WANT ONE!
That big petulant shout refers to both the slinky frock AND the ridiculous headpiece.
If you're gonna wear a flower on your head, make it HUGE!
Hurrah for colour, hurrah for you, and an extra hurrah for the fast-approaching HelganGstock! I'm crazily excited so goodness knows how you feel!!! xxxxxxx

That Maxi is perfecton and that head piece is so very you.
Fabulous maxi and I'm coveting that pattern now! The model on the front reminds me of a singer over here called Jessie J.
Great headpiece - I would love to see someone walking around a DIY store with something similar!
I've pinned some of your crazy color on Pinterest lately. I love the HAT, er headband and the belt is truly beautiful to look at with this great dress.
I love vintage clothing patterns!!! This pattern of 1970 is great, really really great!!!!!!
I collect Burda magazines from the 60s, 70s and 80s, it's my vice ;)
XOXO!
I beg you to buy a big bee to put on that big flower.
Omg a bee WOULD look so cute on that!! SO close to Helgastock! I bet you're going to have a blast!
I'd love to see peoples faces when they see your head piece. It's so in your face I adore it!!! xxx Not long now till you two come together how exciting. xxxx
Fer Christ's sake, how do you manage to look so frickin' gorgeous all the time?? Those colours just pop on you and that dress fits you like a glove. Wish I could have been making headpieces too; looks like so much fun. You have inspired me though, and I picked up a couple of headbands with flowers that I'm going to fancy up for summer.
That dress is fan-fricking-tabulous! You are such a sexy, smoldering lady in red! And I love the giant headpiece! Let's throw in a few more exclaimation marks to make my point. !!!!!!!!!! Sarah, you rock!
