The Urban Goddess is coming...

As most of you know, I've been exploring my creative side the last wee while - some of my  experiments haven't gone so well - but I was at work the other week, and my boss said to me -

'Siobhan - you should accessorize more'

Now, I work in a very style conscious environment, so I wasn't offended at all - it actually made me realise that I've gotten completely out of the habit, mainly due to tiny little fingers wanting to play (read: destroy) Mummy's pretties.

And also, as most of you know, we're really rather poor right now with DH being off work with his back.










So I started making things, and they've turned out really well- so well that soon Blythe Hopes Vintage will be adding an UrbanGoddess range, accessories that are made from vintage components with modern twists - a perfect way to enhance your vintage wardrobe!

The Look for Less

As you know, I'm all about supporting small businesses in this terrible economy - especially my fellow etsy sellers. When I buy something on etsy, I know the money is going directly into someone's mortgage - or buying nappies, or new supplies.

I recently came across Tracy Feith's new collection for Target, and it stuck me that the whole look is readily available from vintage sellers on etsy.

The Look: Geometric prints, A Line Mini Dresses, bright colours.

Target: $29.99 Cassie's Attic: $5.50

The Look: 70s Floral, Prairie Girl Maxi

Target: $44.99 thirteenleafclover: $16

Target: $44.99 cloudninevintage: $60

Oh - and the white dress from CloudNine? Frederick's of Hollywood.
