Yves Saint Laurent Music Note Suit

OK. Bit of a murky weathered Monday, but finally here we are with some of the donations from the AMAZING designer bag mentioned loooong ago.
Another funky YSL 2 piece suit for your viewing pleasure. (Yes Yes I know that it has been at least 3 months since the other spotty YSL suit was posted and sold, but we needed things looked at, to the get the best money for you and for Trinity!)



This one is rather 80's and the frills and pattern take it from simple suit and fun and funky.
Musical black and white print rayon and while the jacket is lined the skirt is not.


Our price £150

Size 10 (eur 38)
This skirt suit has no defects, but the zip on the skirt is stiff. It does work though. Just needs some 'oiling' with a pencil. (handy trick that)

Ruffled peplum and shawl collar. Jacket has shiny black plastic button closures.
Saint Laurent Rive Gauche label

Monochrome is always in fashion, so why not invest in some vintage YSL black and white?

Marvellous Marni M(shoes)

Everybody should own a pair of purple shoes. Men included. (But this is for ladies. Sorry fellas) 

So if you want some high fashion purple shoes at high street prices, look no further. We have some. (Of course we have some in or we wouldn't do this blog. Silly)

Marni is an Italian brand founded in 1994. Funky, quirky and yet feminine style, Marni uses bright colour within a neutral colour palette and these shoes are certainly bright.




They have been resoled and so the soles are now new and ready to be trampled down the road.

Size 4 (eur 37)
Yours for £70.

The Wonderful World of Prince Charles....

....or The Vatican Sex Manual (Or The Rutland Dirty Weekend Book) has been donated and oh it gave us all a laugh.

Eric Idle, best known from Monty Python, produced this book in 1976 and it is very funny.
(Plus it has picture on Eric NAKED(!!) in it. But it is not graphic and no, you don't get the see the pictures. I took photos of other pages....We are not a sex shop you know! haha)




Parodies a plenty and lots of funny pictures and cartoons, it was a spin off of the Rutland Weekend Television series. There are screen grabs and jokes as well as tv listings, which I would guess are not entirely factual!



No pages missing or torn and it is in rather good condition, but the spine is not perfect.
This funny, interesting book could be yours for £12.

Bye for now
