In the changing room with Rebekah Murphy and Rusty Vintage

Its Tuesday morning, its a new week and we have new designers in the shop. And whats even better is that they are local from Leeds and York.

Rebekah Murphy is a Leeds clothing designer who started out with a market stall in the corn exchange. her clothes are on the edge, you either love them or you can at least appreciate them, becasue they are so beautifully made and so unique. At first look i thought that they would be better fitted for slimmer girls. I thought if i was going to try on something new why not go for it. So i tried on a strapless ruched dress, with a brown and white pin-striped pattern.

Putting on this dress on my own it was difficult to zip it up, but when i did manage to contort my arms in the right way it fitted!!! it was a size 3, which is a 12, and that made me smile. I did try it on with out a bra, which is, if you know me a rare thing! This dress wasn't made to be worn with a bra, maybe a strapless one, and if i had one i would have tried the dress on with it. This dress would not have worked if it wasn't strapless, as soon as i put it on there was a feeling of glamor and confidence.

With the dress on i also decided to try on one of Rusty Vintages necklaces. Rusty Vintage is a a range of recycled vintage jewelry beautifully handcrafted and made into necklaces, by a Yorkhsire designer called Vicky. They all have a long chain which is great becasue they dont hang in that annoying 'cleavage area' getting stuck between the boobs. Instead they are long and floating.

I feel that these two designers matched each others style well and they made me feel comfortable in my skin. I felt like i had the edginess of bricklane London and the comfort of Yorkshire pride on a sunny Tuesday morning. I think if Rebekah Murphy and Rusty Vintage were in Sasparilla this morning i think they would be pleasently surprised how well their designes suited each other  so well.
