And Then The Giant Chandelier Caught Fire

I had a delicious nanna-nap today.
Can you tell?
It's amazing what (a four-hour) 40-winks will do for the soul.
This happened while my eyes were closed.
James Brown came to this AWESOME maze of a vintage shop and rubbed himself against me, apparently to teach me some dance steps, the randy bugger;).
I introduced him to The Phoenix as my husband who plays funk-slap bass (that's the true part) and they got on like a house ablaze!
I made the most of the distraction and tried on all the shop's craziest shit before a 10-metre chandelier burst into flames and we had to hitch a ride on a gypsy caravan passing by.
How was your day?











1960s nurse's cape, earrings, bangles, orange pendant - thrifted
Fringed tunic - gifted by Miss Danni-Long-Legs
Purple mesh top - ballet shop sale
1960s beauty case, shoes - markets
Leggings - Black Milk
It's way too funky in here.
Time to let off some steam - this is especially for Tralala, who offered to take me for a James Brown disco-ball spa treatment during my recent rough patch.

Happy hip-thrusting honeys!
Molti baci,
Desiree xoxo

  2. Ha ha, this is funny. Isn't it great when a dream is so vivid and clear. I frequently dream about giant vintage shops full of dresses and homewares and then panic because I haven't got enough hands to carry everything home!
    I love your leggings and those mosiac style bracelets. You look fab x

  7. I love your leggings! One day I will have my own - did see some cheapo copies of the galaxy ones in a wycombe shop - they were actually really good - let me know if you want them! (only £5)
    anyway - apart from JB being dead are you sure that was a dream? Sounds like your life to me! I said Helga is the queen of capes but I forgot that you are also the Queen of Capes, that one looks stunning!

  9. Naughty Nurse Desiree follows the good Doctor Brown's orders - take a long nap, then shake your booty!
    You look refreshed and shiny and twinkly, so the prescription was definitely a winner!
    Those Harlequin leggings are fab on you, and I LOVE your beaded bracelets. Gorgeous fringing on your lacey whatsit, perfect for hip-thrusting, booty-shaking, and general movin' and groovin'!

  15. I love dreams like that when you spend the rest of the day wondering if it all really did happen! My friend and her 76 year old husband are off clubbing it in Ibiza this weekend, I bet he'll be witnessing the same as you dreamt only in reality! Those leggings, fringe-y shawl and bangles are so lovely and full of eye-popping colour and fabulousness. xxx

  17. You are a vision, Ms. D. I love the leggings, the cape and well...everything! I remember seeing James Brown back in the 70s or was it just a dream???

  18. Better than my dream! I dreamt last night I had to take a jumper back to a store and when I stepped outside the street was full of demons with Christopher Eccleston being the head one!?! very strange.

  19. My day's been fine, but definitely not as interesting as yours! I'm all for a long nap whenever you can get them, and if James Brown comes to visit, then all the better. I bet he wanted to borrow those diamond patterned leggings!

  20. Those leggings are awesome Des!
    I am lol'ing about your dream. And I thought I was weird because of my wicker snake nightmare I had the other night!! lol "It just happened to come out of a pocket of a jean jacket I bought at a thrift...." Somehow when the snake was out of the pocket it was 100 times the size it was in the pocket... then it CAME ALIVE and was opening and closing it's wicker mouth and hissing... *shiver*
    When I woke up I googled wicker snakes.... *bahah*

  21. Haha! Fab. I usually remember dreams pretty vividly - sometimes not until halfway through the day when they make me either blush or laugh! I adore your leggings and shoes!

  22. Nurses were naughty back in The Day, weren't they! ;P

  23. Well my nap wasn't nearly as good as yours, only 30 minutes and every time I stared to fall asleep one of the kids would start fighting with the other. Oh well.

    Love your look and I do still read all your posts although I don't comment very often. The cape is fab!

  26. I need a nana nap after listening to a snoring husband last night then climbing into the bunkbeds with the boys when I couldn't stand it anymore. Your dream sounds much more fun than reality right now. And you look fabulous! Love all your bangles and baubles, your nana nap obviously did you good, you're perky as a pixie. xx

  29. Loving the fringe on the frock! I have to say though that while I admire Brown as a musician...as a man, he left a lot to be desired. (Abuser)

  31. I love those harlequin leggings so much! I'm a little devastated that I already can't wear my BM leggings - I even tried rolling them down underneath my baby bump, but that just makes me feel like I always need to pee. :/

    You are an absolute vision! Don't ever change!
