VINTAGE DRESSES WITH A TOUCH OF ARMANI!

Happy Friday all! I don't know about you but I'm tres hot today, as the office is like an oven! But we can't complain about the glorious sunshine, so its all good! ;)

I wore this little ensemble yesterday for a busy day in the office and to go out for dinner to Pizza Express in Manchester, where I had a lovely spicy pasta dish which almost blew my head off! Anywho, I'm wearing navy leggings from H&M with a vintage crinoline dress from Retro Rehab in Manchester which was £5, with a satin Pretty Disturbia neck tie and Giorgio Armani belt. I popped on some silver Jewellery, DKNY watch and my leather peep toe shoes, which I'm still determined to wear in!

Anywho, Have a lovely sunshine filled weekend, its supposed to be glorious!....

50p VELVET VINTAGE!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I indeed did, mixing restful, with an 80's night and a clothes clearout for fun and positivity at its best! I find it so hard to part with clothes but am always so glad when I do and re-discover some great finds hiding in the back of the wardobe!

So, on Saturday I wore this outfit which consists of an 80's velvet vintage dress I got from a Car boot Sale for 50p, My New Look Tan leather jacket with matching high heel boots, brown leggings and again my belt which I love to wear as a necklace. The fact I wear this a lot lately is also spurring me on to have an accessories clearout so I can access some of my fabulous vinatge Jewellery which looks so pretty in Vintage boxes above my wardrobe but is'nt easily accessible on a daily basis- or any basis for that matter!

I know I will have really made it in life when I get that big, gorgeous walk in wardrobe I've always dreamed of....

RETRO BRIGHTS!

Good afternoon peeps! I'm being tres naughty today and missing my ballet class. My poor ballet buddy has Swine flu and my left knee has only just recovered from last weeks intense dance class. O well, there's always next week...

This retro and tres bright ensemble is what I wore yesterday which includes an ultra bold orange polo neck from H and M, a timeless Navy Bolero-shrug from a car boot sale, Navy leggings from Ebay and this kitsch little H and M, mini skirt which I bought from a car boot sale for £2 years ago. I think it looks unbelievably vintage, I love it.

Unusually, I did'nt accessorize, but then there is so much going on with all the colour, less is more as they say...

O dear, I've just realised how much my tan leather cowboy boots are in need of a polish... dreadful!...

FISHNETS, TAN LEATHER AND STRIPES!

Well it was a serious shopping day on Sunday at the Car Boot Sale, Where I picked up a stunning, long John Richmond black cardigan for £3. It truly made my weekend.

So for the shopping trip, I wore this leather jacket which I picked up previously at car boot sale for £4 (a bargain) as its real leather from New Look. It astounds me what people get rid of. This jacket is timeless?

Im wearing fish net tights and a classic 70s style shift dress which I've had years and never worn. I did my eyemake up to match with orange and turqouise, because I do love things to colour match, even though my uni design tutor told me it was cliche and contrived.... to me it's just good sense and a lovely challenge to get the colours to match just so. Don't you think?
