WHEN FRIENDS COME TO PLAY: GYPSY FINGERS



We very much like inviting characters we happen to meet over to play. 
And if you are a character who happens to be in a band called 'GYPSYFINGERS', 
we're probably going to want to be your friend, in addition to making you play dress- up with us.

This is Victoria, singer in the aforementioned band.
in addition to her gypsy fingers,
she has locks like spun gold,
and she was totally throwing us this Annie Hall meets Stevie Nicks vibe.


She's about to go on tour, and she needed some bohemian togs to get her through life on the road. We say, welcome darling, you've come to the right place. Let's start:
Victoria wears
Alix of Bohemia Jade Raggedy jacket
and a custom jumpsuit in Minted India.
And then we try the whole thing in Red,
just to see how we feel about the extremes of the colour wheel.

in between costume changes, and drank mugs of ginger tea, and we talked about very important matters, 
like flower crowns, tambourines and French men.
And finally,
Victoria wears the Alix of Bohemia 
Margherita Dress, in daisy chain,
fully fulfilling her flowerchild destiny.
now you've seen our work, let us share hers:


in other news,
we're sort of half hippie, half machine
 as we've been sewing like banshees preparing for our little opening this evening at 
a little peak at what we've been preparing, because we really like you:



Come along! its going to be fun:
