i have a new fan...not just any fan but Queen Marie and Queen Michelle of super blog Kingdon Of Style its so exciting and kind of them.

when you read the piece, i was only actually letting them know i was adding them to my 'lovely links' then next thing i know i am at the top of there list. and if im honest as usual i was  writing at 100 miles an hour and hit send before id read over it.

ellis

mental note to self should take more time writing and sending emails!!!

heading to toppyshoppy friday12th septmber...only my birthday init!

again limited numbers

what i love about my concession at Topshop is that i can work in small number so they usually come in batches of 10 or 20 all depending on what vintage and deadstock buttons i manage to pick up. So every ellisborough piece is practically  a 1, 10 and at most a 20 off....das is good yarrrrrrrr?

new designs in Toppshoppy right now....

but not for long. limited numbers as always.

lykke li.....dead good
