I'm getting tempted into buying this compact after spotting this modern one designed by Marks and Spencer to celebrate their 125th birthday of being a store upon the British high street. Normally I'm not tempted by contemporary compacts, they seem a bit too shiny and unused. They feel a bit unloved because they don't yet have the affection and the history which amount in the rest of my collection. Plus this on, although "only" £9.50 is more then my normal limit towards a compact.
This 125 year compact mirror is credited as being inspired by the M&S archives with a vintage and retro feel - one continued across a full range of celebratory gifts. On its face sits a young woman peering and puckering up into her own compact in her 1950s polka dot dress, a pattern matching the background of the compacts face.
Maybe it should be a Christmas treat for myself, but knowing my luck it won't be in the store when I get forced to go Christmas shopping at the weekend. The joys of fighting the Yorkshire masses to have a look-see before being even able to buy anything is never a delight I look forward too.

I really like that actually, it has a nice retro feel to it - you could buy it and throw it around a little so it ages? :-)
ReplyDeleteBut keep in mind that one day it will be vintage, collectable and lovely x
Oh I do hope you get this sweet delightful treat for yourself! It's great to pamper yourself sometimes:)
ReplyDeleteOhhh you should treat yourself if they have it; as a reward for braving the crowds!
ReplyDeleteBonjour! You should definitely treat yourself - the retro photo is fabulous! Hope you are having a good week!
ReplyDeleteHey honey! I have a little something for you over at my blog. Congrats! Kori xoxo
ReplyDeleteCheers for the award Blondie - i'll get around to blogging it at some point!
ReplyDeleteShame my local M&S doesn't seem to want to have this compact or few of the others! Gah
Go for it, honey, you definitely deserve a gorgeous treat at this most festive time of the year! (If only we had M&S here too, I'd queue up for one of these delightful compacts, too :D)
ReplyDeleteOodles of hugs,
