BIG 80S HAIR AND SHOULDER PADS WITH HOT PANTS!

Well, I wore this for a relaxing day of shopping round Manchester, I was dressed far too summery for the high winds that day and so I was freezing! I wore a cheap, market bargain poloneck top, which matched my jacket perfectly! ( I love it when that happens!) with some hot pants which were a present for christmas, teamed with some olive tights from Primark and some over the knee black boots. The jacket is a car boot vintage find for just £3.50! I accessorised with a yellow 80s vintage belt and a vintage YSL bag which I got from a dress agency for £50! ;) Ta da!...

WHITE BLOUSE & COW BOOTS WITH A TOUCH OF FLORAL!

I'm ahead of myself as I'm wearing this today and don't usually get to post what I'm wearing on the actual day itself! It's also a first for something else new, as I've sadly made myself my own birthday album today! (For my looming Birthday on Friday) How sad is that. Very, I can tell you! Especially as it full of Happy Birthday songs. Cheesy Happy Birthday Songs. Not the behaviour of a 31 year old to be really....but who cares! 
The outfit consists of this lovely white satin blouse which is original 80s- a much appreciated Christmas present from my mum! with this floral print skirt which was 50p on a car boot sale! I teamed it with some high shine navy leggings from New Look and my vintage white cowboy which were £8 from COW vintage shop in Manchester. Lovely.

A RUBY RED DRESS WORN AS A SKIRT FOR 50S STYLE!

I hope you all had a mucho fabulous weekend? Mine was fun filled as usual! It all started with a day in the office, a meeting with Selfridges, Manchester, shopping in the sales, drinks at The Radisson hotel cocktail bar, followed by a meal at Gauchos...and that was just Friday! 
I wore this little ensemble which consists on my much loved and muchly worn black vintage poloneck top, teamed with a grey mohair jumper from Oasis with a diamante brooch.  I wore my over the knee boots for warmth and accessorised with my usual rings as well as a spiral black one bought from Malta on holiday and my Vivienne Westwood red heart bag, which I do indeed, heart!

JACKIE KENNEDY STYLE OR JUST A BIT GRANNY?

Okay, so I've been heavily influenced on my love for 50's fashion after getting quite an obsession with watching Mad Men over Christmas. I mean, who does'nt want to look like Joan with her sexy curves and perfect make up?! Anywho, I realised how Jackie Kennedy style this pink shift dress was, which I bought for £5 from Retro Rehab, and having never worn it I thought a family Party over the holidays was just the occassion. I teamed it with some big silver stud earrings which were a gift, with some cream fishnet tights from Next and these pretty patent shoes which were from a cheap shoe shop in Manchester for just £10! ....They did however make my toes bleed but I felt like a glam granny all the same! ;)

HORSE RIDING, HOT PANTS AND BLACK!

I hope your all having a tres lovely weekend eve? I am really enjoying working late on my business and getting organised after my delightful rest at Christmas! 
Anywho, I wore this t'other day for a day lounging around the house and to go out lunching at The Earth Cafe in Manchester with college friends to exchange Christmas gifts. The outfit consists of a classic black vintage poloneck top (which I love and can't bear to get rid of despite its musty smell and laddering at the neckline!) I teamed it with this sexy lil hot pants which were a Christmas gift and my much loved crushed velvet leggings which were £15 from New Look. I wore brown point knee points and acessorised with a classic black studded belt and my new Vivienne Westwood Necklace, which again, was a mucho loved Christmas present. I did indeed get spoilt this year!!! 
Okay, Is it just me or do I look like Im going horse- riding??....

A BIG GREEN CREPE VINTAGE DRESS & A TOUCH OF SNOW FOR £2!

Maybe on New years day I was sad that our Christmas tree died and was looking a lot like a "Pheobe" tree from friends so I decided to dress up as a Christmas tree to make up for it. This dress was just £2 from Retro Rehab in Manchester, which I bought in the sale. I've had it years and never got round to wearing it. As if I was'nt bright enough wearing head to toe bright green, I teamed it with touches of snow white in the form of white beads, a chunky leather white belt and some white flat leather shoes from New Look. O well, Its nice to dress up... and it is a festive ensemble after all ;)
