Ribbons left untied behind where strangers came in

Maxi patchwork dress:Heritage 1981(F21),swapped with Patty Ann
A.Wang Inspired jacket:online store,Modparade
Necklaces:Random
Accessories:All random/vintage
Christopher Kane for Topshop tote:limited edition
Sandals:Gojane.com
Shades:online store



Bohemian is something I love too.
Its something like 60's hippie style,but slight different.
More patchwork dresses and repetitive patterns.

This is actually the first maxi dress I own.
Don't have one at all in my closet.
Let's not count the one I wore a few days ago for Halloween.
That's too precious to wear out everyday.

The dress I'm wearing its actually one I got from my swap!
I swapped a package with Patty Ann of AlphaBetaChic.
And she sent me in all 3 different items.
A crop top and another maxi dress with I'm in love with.

Thanks so much girl and it fits really well too:)

Here are some blog awards i got,sorry I'm always slow on this.

Kisses to Maria,Lululetty for passing on to my the "Over the Top" award!
I pass this on to Stijlkind.Big hugs to Sher, Beneath the Crystals Stars for the "Lovely Blog" award!
I pass this on to Pretty in Leather.



And lastly,huge thanks and kisses to Starr of A Thought Is The Blossom
for giving me this kreative blogger award!
She has amazing vintage style and I would die to go
on a thrifting trip with her:)
And she's always such a sweet person!

I will tell seven things about myself and then I will pass it on to everyone!

1.I hate lizards!
I don't know why,but I think that their body is like kernel corn.
Not sure why I think this way,but yucky!
And weird thing,I'm not afraid of cockroaches.

2.I have a weakness of any kind of canvas tote bags!
Yeaaa,true! Be it handmade or not,I always want to get one.
Just seeing a canvas tote bag,makes my hand reach out and grab it.
This still continues and I think its a okay habit to keep.

3.I have to sleep in complete darkness.
Not a single light can be turned on. Or else I will take ages to fall asleep.
Or I'll get so irritated that I'll get up,shout for 2 secs and off the light.
Back to sleep.

4. Valencia is my real given name.
I know its a state in Spain,and I would love to visit one day.
Its given to me by my parents and when I asked why,
they actually had no reason why they chose it. Guessed it sounded nice. heee
Anyway,the meaning of my name means 'brave'.

5.I love chocolates but will only eat dark chocolates now.

To me,its healthier and I love that it has more cocoa in it than the rest.
I don't want to eat others which has been mixed with milk etc.
White chocolate is something that stays far away from me.

6.I treasure each thing/item so so dearly.

Even a mechanical pencil that has been with me since 12years old.
I can't bare to throw it away even if it spoils.
Even like a hair clip that is given years back.
The pencil though is still in perfect condition.

7.I have 10 ear piercings!
6 on my left,4 on my right.
I don't wear them all with ear studs though.
Haven't had the time to find for everyone of them.
Won't close any of it :)

Will get to the rest of other awards soon ~

clothes swap are most fun. i love that blue cropped top and maxi dress, i'd buy them if they're on sale! i just did a post on maxi dresses, incidentally. i was just reproducing much of granny's day out's photo contents, though. can you tell me how much you bought those teal shoes from etsy? they're pure love.

oh and thanks for leaving me dustbunny's contact details, girlie. much appreciated.

kurarin said...

I love canvas totes too, I must have at least ten i think :P

I have to sleep in complete darkness too. Even worse, I can only sleep an hour after I speak to another person.

My classmate in primary school was named Valencia and that was why I first got attracted to your blog haha.

Big Dadddy said...

Oh i am still loving that coat, and i love all your accessories! There is so many and they all look so right!

Big Dadddy said...

Oh ps i just saw you comment about swapping for the blazer, i am up for swapping. just email me what you want to swap for and such!

Cafe Fashionista said...

I can see Nicole Richie or Mary-Kate Olsen rocking this outfit - it's quintessentially bohemian; which I absolutely adore. You look heavenly! :)

Congratulations on the awards, darling! Well-deserved. I love the fact that you don't like lizards, but are fine with cockroaches. I am the complete opposite - cockroaches creep me out! :)

Sophie said...

love the sunglasses

Starr Crow said...

What a lovely maxi dress. I was just thinking it wasn't your only one because of the one you wore the other day, but you quickly nixed that thought. I would be scared to wear it all the time too!

I love hearing the meaning of your name, but I can't believe there was really no reason for picking it. Seems like they would have some little story of how it came about! Sometimes I don't believe the story my parents told me about Starr. I want to believe it was influenced by Ringo Starr from the Beatles, but they tell me that that's not it!

Dark chocolate is my favorite kind!!!

Keith said...

Great photos. You look fantastic. Have a wonderful week. Cheers!

Thrush Vintage said...

melly said...

You do maxi dresses so darn well, how tall are you!!

I had this period of time whereby I was crazy in love with Spain and browsed through tons of photos of the main cities. Valencia's so beautiful, you're lucky to have such a name. It rolls off the tongue nicely with your surname!

Tori said...
