Goodbye USA Hello New Stock!!!

So we're back from our big American trip!

It was awesome, exhausting and hugely successful...we've only just about recovered.

The weather was amazing, the people interesting and the vintage curios...well curious!!!

A giant American eagle

Some gold painted tooth moulds anyone?

I thought this box of Cupee dolls was interesting and a little freaky!

My little boy Ruben, playing out side our house for the week...it was huge!

A cute little red and green wooden house nearby. We'd liked to have taken it home too!

Who doesn't love a touch a sparkle and shimmer?

Metallic fabrics, shimmering beads and bright crystals have been used in fashion since people started using fashion to indicate wealth and status.

Gold, silver and bronzes all ooze and instant elegance and richness which fashion designers have utilised to their full potential.

There's something about these colours that instantly make you feel more grown up and a little bit special!

Dirty Fabulous always carries a range of beautiful gowns and dresses in these shades and you know we're like Magpies that if we see a bit of sparkle we'll nab it for our boutique!

So come in and see our shimmering lovellies, make your appointment now!
