SEWN UP SKIRTS & A BIG GOLD BROOCH!

Well, I wore this the other day as I was feeling quite Summery. That feeling has now certainly passed and I'm raring and ready for Autumn/ Winter! (I much prefer it to Summer, with Christmas, dark nights, candles by the fire and generally wrapping up with boots, leather, velvets and furs!..)
Anywho, The outfit consists of this lovely net skirt, which was too long and shapeless, so I sewed it up in gathers to make it much more sexy and glam. I wore a topshop brown vest top with this classic Topshop cropped jacket and donned my fave, Carvella studded leather boots. To accessorise, I popped on this vintage gold brooch and some cheap beads from Primark for a touch of coral to lift it colour wise! 

BRIGHT BLUE, RELIGION & A BAG FROM THE POUNDSHOP!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend? Mine was great, if not a tad quirky too! I discovered a hidden face in a Bullitt poster of Steve McQueens hair which freaked me out...had motion sickness from going on a boat and yesterday I smashed some nail varnishes in my new corner bath which has ruined it! doh....
Other than that it was mucho fun!
I wore this on Saturday evening for my friends birthday do in Common, in Manchester. It consists of this great Religion dress which was £20 in a Manchester Fashion Network sample Sale, teamed with this vintage belt, a bag from the pound shop- (which is amazing!!) and my much loved Carvella boots which were £350...but I got them as a 30th birthday present! I opted for 80s style make up with rouge lips and bright blue eyeshadow to match my dress! ;) 

BUSTLE JACKETS, A CORSET & MANY WEDDING SHOES!

Happy Friday all! I hope you all have a fine and dandy weekend planned? I'm looking forward to an evening at the Lakes tonight and out for a friends birthday tomorrow. Its been a tres busy week this week, so I can't wait!!
I'm trying to dress much more smart these days, so I popped this lil ensemble on the other night for a meal out at The Modern restaurant in Manchester.
It consists of this vintage 80's pencil skirt, teamed with this lovely lace cream corset from Warehouse and this stunning, silk Jacket which was just £12.99 in the sale at TOFU. Its just beautiful and even has a bustle at the back with a inset lace panel. I would love to wear more bustle jackets- they are just so glamorous and 50's pin up style! I accessorised with this unusual vintage silver necklace and matching brooch, with my peep top, lace wedding shoes, which I bought from a Charity shop for £15- and they've never been worn! I love dressing up, it really is the highlight of my day!.... ( and just for the record, I own 4 pairs of wedding shoes!...I think my obsession started when I got hooked on wearing my Holy Communion shoes as a child. After that, normal shoes just didn't make me feel as special!..)

BROWN, LACE, TUTUS & A TOUCH OF VINTAGE!

Happy Weekend eve all! I hope your enjoy this fine, bright Thursday afternoon! 
I wore this lil outfit yesterday for a day of meetings, a night out at The Olive Press in Manchester and a quick drink in the Vine Pub to finish it off, then drinks back at mine until 1am!... And on a School night too! tut-tut. 
The outfit consists of this gorgeous lace polo top from Ebay, over a simple M&S brown strappy vest. I wore some soft brown leggings with this little designer tutu over the top, which was just £4 on a car boot sale. I wore my beige flat boots for comfort and popped on a vintage red belt, which was £1 in a charity shop to match my red lippy and break up the all in one brown look!....

OPEN VINTAGE SHIRTS WITH HIGH SHINE & UP COLLARS!

Happy Hump day folks! I hope your all having a fine and dandy week? I'm working late again tonight, after a summer of fun and mucho moving about! I really need to get my head down now and catch up quick.
So, I wore this the other day which consists of the amazing vintage, nylon shirt from Retro Rehab for just £5 reduced in the sale, teamed with a strappy purple vest top from H and M and this simple Navy Primark skirt. I also wore my high shine navy leggings with some black wedge heel boots and accessorised simply with my much loved,Versace belt...
This is my favourite way to wear shirts with my collar up and buttons open, as on the rare occasion I do wear a button up shirt and no vest under it, I always tend to worry the buttons will pop right open and I will be baring all and not know about it. Is it just me who thinks like that? I've even been prone to safety pinning shirts in between buttons before now too... Just to be sure!
Anywho, its time to get back to work so I well deserve my meal out tonight at The Olive Press restaurant in Manchester... Have a lovely evening all :) 

VINTAGE CARDYS, PIGTAILS AND A BADLY LIT HALLWAY!

So.....What do you think of my new, badly lit hallway? Not great is it! The fact we don't even have carpet yet does'nt help, and the fact that when we do get it carpeted- its going to be black is even worse! 
I actually think it will work okay for taking the photos when we have good lighting and maybe a white rug to show of the footwear- I know how many of you hated the black rug I used to use! 
Anywho, The outfit consists of this amazing vintage cardigan, which I picked up from a Charity shop in Harrogate for just £4.05- (Why the 5p more- I'll never know!)


Anywho, I teamed it with some classic navy topshop leggings, some vintage denim hotpants and a classic low neck white tee. I popped on some comfy flat pumps to finish it off nicely! I actually wen't to a meeting dressed like this and was asked if had met them on my day off??! Mental note- dont wear denim shorts when meeting important accountancy people. ;)

TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW!

Well, its a new start in many ways for me this month. Not only have I moved house, but I have also moved office too! Which therefore means I have decided to freshen the look of the blog accordingly- as I have a new hallway to take pictures in, and a new office in which to write about them! The only problem is I'm a big fan of black walls and dim lighting which does'nt work too well for photographing outfits! doh...

O well, I will try a few variations of locations and see what you guys think! Be honest ;) 

Bye-Bye old Hallway and... Hello new fresh blog style! xx
