Emma, a lovely reader, sent me this especially customised vintage Xmas fairy and I absolutely adore her. Dripping in bling with her black hair piled into a top knot, lurex hot pants and go-go boots, who on earth could she have got her inspiration from?
The postman's been a busy boy today. I also got a fabulous parcel from the gorgeous Kitty.
I do love a Dollyrockers label and was beside myself with excitement when she sent me this fabulous velvet & taffeta halter-neck mini dress to add to my collection. Dollyrockers was a collaboration between Samuel Sherman and Dolcis shoes and modelled by Pattie Boyd, one-time girlfriend of George Harrison and active between 1963- 1975.
Along with the frock and a heavenly vintage waistcoat (to be seen shortly) Kitty also included an amazing Woodstock DVD and a fab maxi dress pattern.
Here's some of my other Dollyrockers numbers:
Mine. all mine!
I may be a hardy Northerner but even I'm not brave enough to show my bare back to the world today.
There's no excuse not to have a Xmas tree up now, looks like Jon'll be sent out into the garden with his chainsaw later!

ps - thanks for posting on the ethical fashion bloggers too!
Haha, the dolly is fabulous! An the frock is an excellent addition to your collection. (You should start charging admission, I'm sure there's fashion museums with fewer pieces than you)

Ooh, I do like a muff (fnar fnar). I'm dreading wearing my little frocks in this bitter cold too. Xx
the doll is really different & interesting!!

http://sushmita-smile.blogspot.com/
your hair looks really, really pretty today and I loooove the outfit!
Loving your muff, Vix! (I do apologise but I couldn't resist... I'm the Carry On generation, double entendres are obligatory!)
That doll is just brilliant! If she doesn't make you feel festive, Vix, nothing will - get her on that tree immediately!!
Your Dollyrockers collection is superb - I've only ever come across a couple in vintage shops with high price tags... One day, I'll find one for under a tenner in a chazza. Along with an Enid Collins bag for £2 and a Biba original for a fiver. It will happen!
Great little frock from Kitty, looks wonderful with your beautiful coat. Wrap up warm, love! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The doll is, well, a total doll! The minidress is adorable. Stay warm and have fun putting up the tree.
thats the best tree topper ive ever seen!!Its definetly gotten drastically colder hasnt it! But the muff (hee hee is it bad i cant even type that word without giggling like a school kid!) is perfect for this cold weather!! xx
It looks like you have generous friends, too! Nice gifts.
Oh god, she is brilliant! A properly fab fairy. Your frockage ain't s'bad either. Stay warm.
xxxx
Great outfit today, I especially like the coat! You amaze me with the projects you are taking on considering you haven't been sewing all that long. You are fearless!! Can't wait to see the tree!!
Hi my dear-what a gorgeous addition to the Dollyrockers collection, it really looks fabulous! Your Xmas tree dolly is great too, very cute! xxx

Gorgeous dress, you're the only person I've ever seen who can rock a drop-waist!
xoxo.
wow thats fabulous I would love a doll of myself xx
Holy Moly - that dolly must become a car mascot immediately - I can just see her leading the way on your festival adventures, sat on the campervan dash!
As to Dollyrockers - what an utterly FANTASTIC brand name - and what fab frocks - you should write a histoire and self-publish it on Blurb or Lulu.
And now I must go find fake fur goods to eviscerate and make me own muff ... Here's a Sid James laugh for you - oooh Matron.

The doll really like you in the banner picture. Personally i like you are free to express boho or gypsy style,if i am not wrong saying this.
You & Dollyrockers go together like peas in a pod. You look amazing in every single one of your Dollyrockers garments!
I absolutely adore your rocking Xmas fairy as well! I'd make one myself, but I don't even have a tree to put it on this year.
Oh oh I loved looking at the collection of "Dollyrocker" fab frocks, you are the perfect model for all of them. Time machine please move over Pattie, Vix is the lady for the job. Sending happy rays of sunshine to you, so you can wear that gorgeous dress with out thermals. Love V
Love that adorable fairy--you should make it the official blog mascot--lol.
And that coat you're wearing is fab.
Love that dress.very cute and the furry muff.Love it.That dolly is so cool.What a great present.Also love the choker Dora sent.She always has cool jewelry.I will try to send some warm weather to England from the dirty south.We get chilly mornings at the moment but by 11 or noon it's in the 60's I end up not needing my little sweaters.It's frustrating down here.xx
What an awesome present! :)
For some reason the doll looks TOO alive to me, like it might suddenly move!
I love that mini, especially the frill round the skirt.
Love your muff, and the Dollyrockers dress (how about wearing a fur coat on top?) - absolutely terrified by the doll. She might be a disco queen, but for me she belongs to the 'creepy children'. xxx
That doll is amazing - got a very creepy stare - love it! The dress is awesome too and what a great collection you have! Scarlett x
Your hair looks amazing. I think you should wear the dress with some thigh-high boots. I'm sure you have some in your closet. You're a lucky girl to get such nice gifts.
This doll is friggin killer, so sweet and creative, LOVE IT!!!!!! Dollyrocker, with a name like that it's bound to be killer! Such a sweet little dress on you and those legs Vix they just go on forever! I love your MUFF :) but you knew that :) Yeah for shopping down a real tree, can't wait to see. Stay warm love!!!!

Oh please show us some photos from inside the Woodstock annual! That Christmas fairy looks like she wouldn't stand any messing from Santa & his elves.
That neck piece<3
That doll is so glam and fabulous - it's so you! xx
oh i love your adorable maxicoat! hey the doll looks as sexy as you;) and how clever you are making the muff of fake fur hats love that idea!
kiss,mary
I had not heard of Dolly rockers until today, but thanks to this post I will be on the lookout for a fab frock of my own. I love it!
And the doll iadorablele; what a great excuse to put up a tree. I really must get around to that myself!
xo, Anita
That doll is totally a mini you! Although those eyes look slightly scary to me x
Oh jay-sus, life is incomplete without a muff. I am muff-less and pining for one, but never to be found (or probably needed) here. Kitty showed me the gorgeous Dollyrockers frock and said it was earmarked for you and I squealed in delight ... yes, it certainly is YOU!!! And you are the best model for all your beautiful, precious Dollyrockers frocks:)) xoxoxo
OMG, what a sweet gift!
what an awesome present! That fairy is so cute and so you. Very cool dress, I had never heard of dollyrocker before.
xx
love, love, love your dollyrocker's dresses! and that you snapped each of them for less then a tenner is amazing, too!
What a great collection of dresses! I love your coat and boots too.
I hadn't known about Dollyrockers before, thanks so much for mentioning it, I'm in love!x
I want a muffler so badly!! Great doll as well, what a lovely thought :)

It's a lovely dress! I really like it! I'm so envious of your muff- I looked longingly at one at Spitalfields market last week or so, really wanting one!

That jacket is so freaking good!! Love love loooove.
That frock is gorgeous - YOU are gorgeous and I love your muff too! I have never found a Dollyrocker in my size... I suspect they didn't make them!
That doll is KILLER - honestly, there is no better xmas decoration for you - a silver lurex jumpsuit and heaps of black eyeliner? PERFECTION!
Love! Sarah xxx
Brilliant Chrimbo fairy! And I adore your Dollyrockers collection xxx
I have not seen a muff since I was a little girl & had a white one that I wore to church! Fabulous idea to make your own....love your Dollyrockers collections too!
Hahaha you wouldn’t want to mess with that fairy! She sure does put the angelic ones to shame xxx
