New Beginning — Violinkit

Hello!

Welcome to my website! I'm Kathryn and I blog about fusing Vintage and modern Fashion together to create a unique style. I am also passionate about slowing down the fast fashion industry and hope to encourage others to do likewise through my posts showcasing my personal style through the vintage and upcycled items that I have sourced. I have now added a SHOP section to my website where you can purchase lots of sustainable goodies from clothing to china and everything in between! Through my upcycling posts and crafted items I hope to encourage all of you to be mindful about what you throw away and to see that almost everything can be reused and made fresh and unique again through a little imagination. I also blog about maintaining a healthy mental attitude through positivity and being mindful of how unique we are as individuals.

Fashion Vintage Modern

Today I'm starting a new chapter in my life, i.e. that of vintage and modern fashion and all things re-purposed and up-cycled style blogger. I'm another one of the thousands of bloggers out there hoping to make an impact. I'm nervous mostly because of my free-spirited habit of rambling passionately along and never knowing where my thoughts will take me. Hopefully you'll be interested in taking this journey with me. I hope you enjoy it and perhaps we'll have a few laughs along the way!

One of my many up-cycled projects is this snap- shut fifties vintage bag that was looking a little the worse for wear. I purchased it in Se Si in Temple Bar for a few euro. When I got its sorry ass home I wondered at the folly of my judgement. However inspired by the most amazing colourful vintage woollen shawl I was wearing to my daughters confirmation, together with an accordion pleated black fifties vintage dress I decided to paint it! (As you do!!Ha ha!) Here is the resulting photos and the others of my outfit on the day.

We decided to have the after party in the house so I planned a vintage themed table setting. My never-ending collection of mis-matched antique china got a well deserved airing. The table setting theme was vintage fashion with an "Edge!" hence the bubble gum pink candles and monochrome themed napkins all purchased from Tiger. This is my" go to " shop for colour themed table dressings as the variety of colour is amazing. Hope you enjoy the pics!
