Winter Bliss

To start off, I need to acknowledge how extremely slack I am for neglecting both Lady Crumington’s fan page as well as my blog for nearly a week now... There is no excuse for procrastinating although I have been acquiring huge inspiration over the past week and did not realise until this morning... So many things around me have inspired me to start my new collection... The main reason behind my procrastination I can say would definitely be the sudden temperature drop; dressing up in pretty vintage clothes for eBay shots in my freezing apartment seems to be the last thing I feel like doing right now.

However, a certain special someone has made me realise if I want something to happen in life you can’t let negative things hold you back... so I’m trying my best to turn a usually negative thing (cold weather) into a positive.
So... to get me inspired; a cup of tea and Yen magazine, which then led to creating a mood/inspiration board of Lady Crumington’s next collection. YAY!

With winter coming in less than a week, it’s time to start brightening up your cold days with anything that makes you happy & cosy... I’ll try my best to make as many winter warmers for you all.

In the past week, Lady Crumington has also been collaborating with Who Art Thou to create a ‘vlog’ (Video Blog), which entails a ‘behind the scenes’ of how each garment is created and the thoughts I have before each photo shoot. I will post the video when all has been edited and made pretty.
A sneak peak of my ‘Winter Bliss’ collection will be coming up in the next couple of weeks.
YAY for winter!

Finders Keepers Markets

Today I ventured down to Carriageworks to explore the Finders Keepers markets; let me tell you it was definately worth being squished by the many excited people. It was filled with the most inspiring, creative & all round lovely people! I think the huge amount of inspiration I experienced today will definately resort in spending my night sewing my little hands away :)

I've also found a few new items today to add to the store later this week, so get excited!

Im feeling very loving & generous today so... Lady Crumington is having her very first GIVEAWAY tonight from 6.30pm; a gold T-Rex drop necklace by Limedrop worth $40, to go in the draw you must suggest Lady Crumington to your friends on facebook, (the more friends the more entries) and post a comment on the wall to let me know. Entries will close next Sunday night (16th @ 6.30pm)!

Ill leave you with a few photos from my lovely day!

Being silly at the train station :)

In the crowded hall (ok, maybe it wasnt so crowded at that point)

Hope you all had an amazing day!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

OK, so Ive been contemplating on starting this blog for the past few months but everyday I seem to make a better excuse than yesterday why I shouldn't, today I ran out of excuses. So here we go.

Over the past 3 or so years I have been an avid op shopper, I find it thrilling trying to find rare beautiful things in the overwhelming amount of racks of clothes (that smell like moth balls). Every single thing in those stores have a story to tell, and I love continuing that journey with them. The happiest you will see me is when I'm looking for these lovely things; So I've decided to share them with you. In the next few days I will be opening a store on eBay where you will be able to purchase Lady Crumington stock, I hope they make you as happy as they do me. I will keep you posted.

Lady Crumington
