Must get out.


I took a morning jaunt over to Value Village with some friends today and our timing was Mary Poppins-perfect. I didn't manage to find any worthwhile clothing, but we bought loads of old records that we can make funky bowls out of. I really need to get out like this more often, but exams are next week so that probably won't be happening.

But if you ever have a spare afternoon and some records that you wouldn't mind destroying, then heat up the oven and let the records melt over a bowl - you shape it once its out of the oven.

One of my friends pots all of her plants in 9" vinyls; I'm a big fan of vinyls as housewares.

I love the record bowl. Your outfit is cool--basic with a huge twist.

do NAY like the cut of those jeans. you are adorable but the jeans do nothing for you. as for the wash/DIY factor, to each their own, they're pretty cool if that's your thing!

joana said...

thank you so much for your comment :D you're really nice

I've seen a ton of those record bowls at the markets. I'm not sure if you should eat anything off of them.

I also like the way you pulled off acid washed/bleached jeans. Very casually.

Jazzy Stardust said...

ah, I love vinyls. AND you can make bowls out of them. And what better to put in that than lemons
but Value Village bothers me sometimes- their old clothing is often overpriced .

Amélie said...

Oh just love your bleach jean, and the destroy vinyl

diane said...
