1970's Jewel Gowns

From left to right: Jean Muir; Ban-Lon; Trina Lewis and Marjon Couture

Been getting into 70's clothing recently, the cut and drape of the clothes are really form-enhancing and some great unusual bold colours to be found. The Jean Muir feels killer on and I can't wait to go dancing in the Ban-Lon!

With my brother at my cousin's wedding last summer, wearing with sky-high 70's tapestry platforms!

One of my favourite things to do is to have a really good delve on Etsy - favouriting things left, right and centre and constructing cute outfits in my head. There's such a huge range of stuff there, it's like one big never-ending vintage wardrobe but also I've been getting more into the modern stuff, especially lingerie, there are some really well-designed, fun and affordable shops out there. So this is where these outfit illustrations have come from. In a magical, silly world I would have a never-ending wardrobe full of all this but now I feel I can settle for these neat book-sized representations which don't take up much space in my life. I'm going to aim to do one of these illustrations a day because they're quick and fun and satisfying. It also helps me visualize my inspirations more clearly. I find I use Etsy for inspiration mainly, it's great to be able to easily find high-quality photos of intricate details, unusual materials and rare designs in one place.

I'd love to get into creating outfits on certain themes or for people looking for inspiration/with a specific budget so please get in contact if you're interested! X

Outfit: Babydoll Days

This is a really nice style of dress to wear now it's starting to get warm again. I'm wearing it with tights and cycling shorts for modesty!  Roses are starting to come out now and my chilli plant is growing it's first chilli, I'm very excited! Hope you're all having a good weekend through the sunshine and showers! X
