When precisely did it become fashionable to wear old-fashioned clothing? And what classifies as old-fashioned, now that vintage has become the fashion? Hipsters flaunt their knack for old-school or retro outfits on the streets of Cape Town, their horn rims glinting in the sunlight as they stick their thumbs into the bands of their suspenders... That's not exactly MY style but don't get me wrong I have no problem with hipsters, they don't do any harm and they have an iconic obsession with what was cool thirty years ago... I love vintage glam, when woman were feminine and that didn't mean representing them as sex symbols - when woman were strong, curvy, and wore bold outfits.
This Summer I'm wearing an actual vintage red polka dot dress, a gift from a friend.
I will also be sporting this gorgeous high waisted 50's bikini poolside!
Let me know what your favourite style for this summer is in the comment section below.

My Cath Kidsten addiction
What started as a mild interest in a pretty wallet, grew into an intense addiction. I love the feminine florals on the pastel backgrounds and the practicality of the plasticized fabric of the bags and wallets, they're easy to clean and water resistant. Of course not all of my collection is Cath Kidsten Original, indeed if any, as there are similar brands such as Sugar Candy - which are just as adorable!
Currently, I have a collection of 9 items... Soon to be 10 when my Cath Kidsten themed iPhone case arrives from China in the post ;)
What Cath Kidsten bags (or other) do you have in your collection??
My addiction is so well known that whenever my friends travel abroad and come across a store with her products they stop and send me a photo.
