Recent Outfits - Part 2






I got this dress recently from the lovely Ashley of Milkteeths and I'm in love! The zip, the pockets, the embroidery, the fur, the coat/dress confusion, all wonderful! I feel very happy and elegant wearing it and it's so simple I don't need any jewellery or accessories, except for maybe this great 60s turban hat.. The second time I wore it to this amazing ice cream parlour in Eastbourne, it's not very well documented by this crappy photo, but a metal tiled ceiling, mirrors, lots of fake marble and black and pink chairs are what its all about!

Recent Outfits - Part 1












Some excellent quality photos from my phone of recent outfits and hair-dos. I've really enjoyed being able to wear my genie gold and fur slippers as it's actually been cold enough in the house to wear them and plus I don't have to worry about slipping down any stairs in them now! I got them from VeraVague on etsy two years ago, they were my very first purchase on etsy as a matter of fact and the shop is still full of wonderful goodies and they appear to be having a 25% off sale, huzzah!

Everything I'm wearing is vintage/charity shopped apart from the black lace up boots are Red or Dead (amazingly comfortable and cute mid length height), the orange fuzzy jumper was a gift and the red knitted pom pom scarf thing I made myself.

Hope you're all having a great weekend! X

Sea living










So I've moved to the seaside! With my motley crew of stuffed animals (and dolly), Tolstoy the ginger cat and  my favourite pesto chef, we've started to make ourselves a little home here. The weather is wild, but when the sun comes out it's just magical. Huge skies and dramatic sunsets ahoy! There are crocuses growing excitedly in the garden and I found a small patch of rhubarb near the apple trees. There are going to be a hell of a lot of photos from this house and environment I think, and I've been taken an inordinate amount of selfies with the lovely light in our bedroom in the mornings so there you go, enjoy what's coming!

Victorian bug



I finally got round to fixing this shirt which had really a very minor repair to do to it, but I somehow forgot and thought it would take ages to do. It must've been in my repairs bag for several years! It's really gorgeous with the short rounded collar and gridded detailing. I'm wearing it with a Victorian plaited hair mourning brooch, a glass bug brooch and a tiny charm of a silver robin sitting on a tree trunk with some holly which I got for Christmas and I love. I like that one of my eyes is red in this, it goes with my lipstick.

Mint clouds







When the storm clouds are gathering it's nice to wear a peppermint Malene Birger cardigan I've had since I was 15 with a huge fake rose and a quilted bed jacket.
