VINTAGE DREAM DRESS

Sure it's not something that I could pull off but I completely love and respect the amazing awesomeness of this dress...

It has the most amazing pearl detailing, floral rose pattern throughout the material and round cut out in the back.

Has a cooler dress ever existed? I don't think so & honestly these photos just don't do it justice!

Check it out here!!! XXX

SERIOUSLY

Could I be more slack lately? Or maybe it's just that I'm continuing to be a really super boring person. ugh.
Anyway I checked out the Stella McCartney collection in my local Target and the two pieces I was most interested in weren't even there! Not because they had sold out, they just didn't get them in store. su-uh-uk. I was super disappointed about this I failed to really look at anything else on offer, except of course the super cute black round hat which is easily my favour tie piece anyway.

On the bottom of my priorities (but top of my wants) list this week is a new couch. About two years ago Dave and I found the most amazing lounge set in an op shop and scooped it up (pre moving out it was so good) It is gold and had an amazing wallpaper like pattern, comfortable and probably the best looking set of lounges of all time. Unfortunately the main two seater has failed to stand up to our high demands of sit time and has decided to start sinking. So we are now on the look out for the perfect two-three seater to fit right into our lounge.
Here's what I'm thinking...

None of these are exactly perfectly what we want but they are all pretty cool. It needs to be big comfortable and fit right into our 60s/70s lounge room decor. Apparently (after accessing these photos) I want it to be velvet... and I guess it either needs to match our existing lounge chairs or contrast against them. Blue? Deep purple? hmmmmmm...

Finally

So I'm at the pointy end of finishing all the details for my first ebay collection, it is very exciting.

I have been super busy the last few weeks with photos shoots, measuring, describing, editing, sewing, fraying and styling all thing Red House related.
Can't wait to get it all completely up and running, and share my amazing vintage finds with everyone.

I had a massive photo shoot earlier in the week with my gorgeous friend Kayla. It was so much fun and I couldn't be happier with how the photos came out.

Below is my favourite photo from the shoot. My dog is half human I swear, sometimes she looks like she is trying her hardest to talk. She is an amazing dog and lucky for me super obedient but she just couldn't handle being ignored for almost 2 days while we were busy shooting. So she did the super sneaky side of the photo sit and pose.
It's one of her many half dog/human skills, she knows the exact most inconvenient place to be in the entire house at any time.

haha.
Stay tuned for more Red House updates, not long now till its all ready to go!

watch out!
