Navajo Fur Clutch D.I.Y.


Meet the latest addition to the D.I.Y family. 
Initial intentions to make an oversized fur clutch improved a million percent when I landed on this stunning navajo inspired silk remnant. 
The outcome = A reversible Clutch bag.
All sewn by hand, so no sewing machine required. Make time approx 3 hours.
For the complete look stop by tomorrow morning.
Hope you are having a fun weekend. Katie.x

laid back luxury.


The first outing for my new lipstick, and also the first time for sharing a treasured item with you. 
The alligator clutch bag was brought back from Africa by my dad's dad, a squadron leader in the 2nd world war, who collected unusual pieces from places he visited. A rare piece which always attracts a lot of attention. It is something I would have never bought and don't believe in, but it holds a lot of history, and is therefore very special.

2010 in outfits.


Wishing you all a Happy New Year.
Thankyou for spending 2010 with me here on Fashionclocked.

Goodbye to one of my toughest years ever- fighting illness and never quite knowing what each month would bring. Im almost better- just continuing a battle with what has become ME and the insane tiredness, and frustration it brings.
Creating this post really brought home to me how far I have come, from such a fragile state to almost back to feeling like myself. Its unbelievable how writing a blog has given me focus, a sense of achievement and something to work towards each week. I cant thank you enough.
Sending good health, wealth, fortune and amazing purchases to all of you in 2011.
love Katie.x
