Gimme some attitude

Ohhhh you know that love affair with them studs ain't over yet! Grab this piece of pretty in the form of a studded black mini skirt. Perfect for work or more 'serious' affairs, but only if you want to look like you OWN attitude. Yeah baby.

Mono's got some sexy pins

Channel some Ally Mcbeal and get all sexy and smart with this monochrome mini. The white stark pipping gives it a classic touch, and the hem that's on the pockets makes this even more a keeper. Pair it with a simple tank for casual days or a frilly secretary blouse for some boardroom drama.

Shiny happy people

Two things made us smile today, and one of them is one of our new neighbours, Rainbow Pots!

Our favourite picks are the deliciously popsicle-flavoured reversible tube top (we loveeee clever things), and the pastel Carebear-goodness high waisted pinafores in baby pink and baby blue (we're sure there's a way for you to tuck the straps in to make it a high waisted skirt, but do inquire within).

Excuse Me, Another Mini!


Ooooh, we have a wild child here! A denim mini that is roughed up faded and with an exposed zipper for good measure! All it needs now are a pair of gorgeous legs with heels that kill to go with it. Good girls stay away.

Cute As A Miniskirt


This one's got just the right amount of 'poof' to bring it into the realm of IT skirts and let it bounce along the line that separates formal and casual freely. It all depends on how you dress it; up or down.

Pink Panther

Vintage skirts are normally very noticeably well, vintage. It's either always floral print or stripey or checked, right? NOT! Look at this hottie! The colour's daring, the waistline's perfect and the drapes, oh the drapes! So perfect! If I weren't so broke I'd be emailing Vintage Vendors right NOW.

English rose

We've been seeing loads of gorgeous English roses-inspired floral prints around in the brand new stock blogshops, but what bums us out is the possibility of bumping into someone else with the same clothes! Silly, I know. But hey, that's why vintage goodies are so alluring!

Here's a gorgeous rose skirt that's not only in the right colour palette, it's got beautiful blossoms. If the length is too long for you, just take it for a quick hem ;-)

The skirt as a tube thing that we all love

We'd like to thank the genius who first brought on the trend of wearing skirts as tube dresses and vice versa, because here is a pretty example! Pleated purple skirt that has lace on the hem... looks very nice when worn as a tube dress because the waistband area isn't too thick, and it gives the chance for the lace hem to be admired ;-) Don't forget your long necklace!
