Rarely you see any of them even though there is plenty of other 70's stuff available. That is too bad because they would work nicely with 40's style aswell. <br />Thankfully you were able to find those gorgeous red platforms! And that green turban is awesome and rare find too :D<br />PS. Congrats on finishing your exams, I wish I could take some holiday aswell :DRhiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697062711387494162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052667328095232732.post-52993907034532353742012-06-22T16:27:49.133+12:002012-06-22T16:27:49.133+12:00Thanks Peta!
