welcome to my wardrobe salvatore ferragamo
Two pretty pairs of vintage Salvatore Ferragamo Vara pumps, there’s nothing that could make me happier or more in pain. The bone are size 8AA and the black 8AAA so my decision to wear the bone the day after I got them without wearing them in was catastrophic. I knew I shouldn’t have but I couldn’t resist! Now that my wounds have healed I have worn in the bone pair and am working on the black as they fit but just need to stretch a little bit. Now a little bit of pain is well worth it because I paid $150 for both pairs including shipping (from different sellers) on eBay. Considering the fact that if bought new they would be about $400 each I am happy to have them a little scuffed and with the vintage heel. I have to take them to a cobbler to get a makeover and then I shall be walking around, happy as can be, with the sound of expensive shoes in my ears.
Sparkle sparkle!

This is the only frame that I shot on my LomoKino at Place des Anges that came out, phooey!
the forgotten film
I got my Kodak ‘Brownie’ Cresta camera years ago from a guy with a beard in a singlet who wrapped it up in newspaper for me.
I eventually threw a roll of 120 black and white film in it and shot it over a span of many months, I think it was end of 2010 and beginning of 2011.
The limited amount of locations where you can get 120 black and white film developed meant that I only bothered to do it at the start of this month so I could finally see the results and know whether or not the camera even works!
The results are pleasant, but I have learnt that the old girl is susceptible to camera shake which is reasonable seeing as it is only a point and shoot camera.
Suffice to say I would use it again but I am so terribly slow at completing films and have too many cameras on the go at once that it may be a while before I use it again.
happiness in a little red dot
As promised here is a shot of the two photos I have in the Collective exhibition at PCP. It’s the first time I’ve had little red dots next to my work so it is a wonderful feeling knowing that someone will own it and possibly love it as much as I do.
