a lovely present & more nz label love

has spring sprung?

it certainly feels like it today!

Victory Square

i arrived home from a walk with 'the rugrat prince'

to discover a parcel on the doorstep...

ooh exciting!

inside was something most fabulous indeed!

retro hot rollers from one funky mumma!

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge 

thank you to you Op Shop Mama! 

i have been searching for a retro set of hot rollers for a wee while now :)

i have a few things i may have to send your way!

to finish off i have a few more made in nz labels to share .

i am thinking of doing a round up page of label love as there really 

isn't much info out there at all about retro/vintage nz clothing .

watch this space...

(excuse the bad photo's from my phone) 

this  skirt looks horrible on a hanger! but it's fantastic on . 

it has 2 pockets and flares out at the bottom

ok - so i have a "thing" for ugly cardies! 

i can't help it - i have quite a few.

this 'reno' one i scored for $1 

i also have a cropped , burnt orange coloured cardie by the same label!

ooh it looks hideous in this pic! 

i'll have to do some pics where i'm wearing my ugly cardies! 

label love

a neat thing i saw over at the velvettes blog 

is that she takes photos of labels of her ah-maaaz-zing dresses

so i thought i'd take some too.

there doesn't seem to be alot of info out there on retro/vintage 

made in nz clothing 

(or maybe there is and i'm looking in the wrong places?!)

so please if you know anything about any of these labels, or you have some of your own 

lets talk about it!!

(excuse the actual garment pics - after taking pics of the labels my camera was running out of battery!)

The colour of this cape - is amazing! scored at opshop for $3!

Another opshop score for $5
This dress doesn't look like much on the hanger - but i add a waist belt and it looks great!
i love the sleeves!

This raincoat is awesome! i nips in at the waist and looks like a princess coat!
perfect for wearing over dresses with petticoats!
and yes another opshop of $2 i think - i have it for yeeeeears!

very sweet dress , has a pocket on one side!!
scored this baby for $4 and it fits like a dream!

this jacket is MY LOVE
it is so snuggly and warm and makes me feel like a glam starlet!
found on a retro rack for $15 - took it to the counter and the cute little old lady
made my day by giving it to me for half price!

last - a very cute label!
this dress is amazing! it has full skirt so i usually wear a petticoat under it.
it has a beautiful black and orange flower on the bottom right hand side.
my camera though was so out of battery by the time i got to this dress!
