SPORTY WONDER WOMAN!

Well, this is what I wore in Saturday as I popped down to the gym for a much needed workout. Terribly, it's the first bit of exercise I've attempted this year! It seemed therefore appropriate to wear a wonder woman top in irony, seeing as I'm tres unfit!

So... I wore this ironic "Wonder woman" vest which is actually nightwear from Peacocks for £8! I teamed it with some classic reebok leggings, white plimsoles and to disguise the sporty outfit- this cropped jacket with matching belt and Pretty Disturbia satin gather skirt £49.99. I stripped the skirt, jacket and belt for a very comfortable gyming outfit and I'm even wearing a swimming costume underneath for the relaxing swim I had after that. In my aim to keep up the healthy kick, I'm eating a slim a soup whilst I type and intend to go back to ballet classes tomorrow! Wonder woman eat your heart out.......

FLARES, PURPLE LEATHER & A GRUMPY FACE!

I hope you all had a fine and dandy weekend? After spending most of last week dashing round London for the Drapers Etail awards and meeting lots of fabulous press (who loved Pretty Disturbia's SS10 collection!!- Vogue included!), I had a nice relaxing weekend to recover.

I realised just how little I wear trousers these days so Yesterday, I donned these old faithful flares from C&A, which I bought in Spain, many moons ago. I teamed it with a Purple vest from H&M, vintage shirt and neck bow, as well as my fabulous purple leather with fur trim coat which I picked up for a bargainous £35 from a vintage shop in Oxford....

Apologies for the tres moody face, not sure why I look such a grump! Anywho, back to designing the Pretty Disturbia ss10 Look Book for Wednesdays looming deadline!

Have a fab evening peeps!

Anyway, Its time to take down the birthday banners, pop my balloons and get back to some hard work and less partying... Happy Monday morning all!

VINTAGE CANDY STRIPES & STRESS!

Well, to say I'm stressed at the moment is an understatement! Not only am I busy preparing for my 30th Black & White Vintage Ball tomorrow evening, and relatives staying, I'm having a vintage tea party on Saturday too including homemade bunting and party games, planning a PR trip to London early next week, I've also done the fashion shoot for Pretty Disturbia SS10 this week and am planning outfits for the drapers Etail awards catwalk show... phew.

O well, I'm taking 5 little minutes out to update my blog with this fine and dandy striped vintage dress which was just £5 from Retro Rehab on Oldham Street, Manchester. I teamed it with simple black leggings, a H&M Orange polo neck and punky black leather belt from Principles, bought back in the day.

I wore, patent knee boots, a big kitsch black ring from London and bright orange eyeshadow to match.

Right, Now back to that list..... I do actually work better under pressure so lets hope I get everything done with some time spare to actually enjoy myself too! Wish me luck peeps....

VINTAGE BARGAINS & PURPLE!

Well, I wore this little ensemble yesterday for an evening meal at The Modern at Urbis! I had a lovely evening and the food in there is truly fabulous! This blog post may be a tad rushed today as I'm dashing off to the photography studio in a minute for a our Pretty Disturbia AW Fashion shoot...

So I'll keep it brief!... This outfit consists of a simple Purple Polo neck from Shout, Grey marl leggings from Topshop and a vintage 80s dress from Retro Rehab for just £5!! I accessorised with patent boots which I bought in Hungary, my Tiffany's silver bracelet & Necklace as well as my absolute favourite vintage silk coat which was just £3 on a carboot sale and came with a matching dress!...

TIGER PRINT, RED LIPS & BIG SHOULDERS!

Well, I hope you all had a fine and dandy weekend? I did indeed, still celebrating the fact I'm 29 +1!... any excuse to celebrate!

This is what I wore on my Birthday evening last Thursday for a Family meal in Room on King street and then onto Restaurant, Bar & Grill for cocktails. My outfit consists of a body con animal print dress from Karen Millen, which was £75 in the sale, with a suit jacket from Primark, £20, Studded, leather Carvella Birthday boots, which were £280 and I accessorised with a stunning Tiffany's Bracelet and Necklace as well as some heavy vintage style Make-up from Mac.

I felt very glam until my red lippy wore off and smudged and the hem on my dress came down.... It seems my attempt to be more glamorous in my 30's is failing somewhat! You just can't take the clumsy, Manchester Lass out of me no matter how old I am!

VINTAGE, DOLL FACED AND 30!

Well do I look older? this is me in my 30's... with lots of make up on to make it all better! I had such a fabulous birthday and was spoilt rotten with amazing presents from Tiffanys, Karen Millen and D&G! How lucky am I.... It truly makes being 30 all worthwhile.

Well, I'm wearing a fabulous vintage dress which was a much loved birthday present, teamed with a black polo neck and leggings for warmth, and my non sexy, chunky boots for non slip action!

I accessorised with a stunning Tiffany's silver beaded necklace and braclet (and other much loved present from the best sister ever) as well as my marvelous present, D&G watch and a headband from H&M which cost just £2 in the sale. My vintage style Make up is all MAC and professionally done by the tres glamorous, Wai Sim at Selfridges Manchester! I loved my pin- up make up if just for one day!

This is just part one of my birthday day outfits, so I look forward to posting my very fabulous Karen Millen dress outfit on Monday... but until then, there's still some champagne to be had... Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you soon!
