Pigeons & Peacocks- A Fashion Magazine for the Post Apocalyptic Blues

I found this beautiful magazine today in a tiny newsagents; I saw it and knew I had to have it! It's matte pages and exquisite content make it a must. It's photography and trends are raw and undiluted. I think a subscription will be neccessary!!!

How I spent my week at Gladrags, instagram overload!!!

This week I've been looking after Gladrags whilst Natalie is away, I've had a really fun week and spent most of it, either customising clothes or making new accessories, I've really tried to focus on current trends so the things I've done have a very grungy or punk feel, lots of skulls and spikes!!! I've also done a bit of visual merchandising here and there, check out the pictures below to see what stock we've got it...

These were the mannequins I dressed last week


Serious love for this gold collar chain £8, nearly sold out!




Need this studded jumper in my life! What a statement piece :)




The beautiful shop where I work, and the mannequins I did last week


One of my favorite grunge jersey dresses, sold it today :(


Beautiful pendants




A little addicted to the Instagram collage app!!!



Needed to do something with all our Levi shorts, and I wanted a real festival theme so I loaded this suitcase full of them, added some sunglasses and a few Tumblr quotes


The new neon studs Nat ordered arrived YAY!!!


An afternoon of boredom led to some serious arm candy #jewellery junkie


Jewellery all packaged up and ready to go on sale


A really quirky regular customer of our came in wearing a black mesh vest the other day and she just looked awesome and so 90s, I decided that we needed mesh vests! I got some and to edge them up a bit studded the collars. Might have to have one myself!


More jewellery, this time I was making festival bracelets and handcuffs


A t-shirt I DIYed, found something similar on Tumblr and just had to give it a go, I've seen a lot of fringing lately too, so added that too, to give that festival feel.


And last but not least, another batch of studs arrived, this time mini skulls- AWESOME!!!
