What Are You Wearing? Spring Flowers

Talk about Sunshine and Showers! It appears that it is currently barely possible to make it to the corner shop and back without being alternately baked by the sun, drenched in rain, hammered with hail and blasted with icy winds. I have a fondness for old 70s polyester frocks at this time of year. 70s

Lingerie Love – Triumph Doreen Bra

Todays Lingerie Love isn’t about pretty fillies with lace trims and pretty patterns. It’s about probably the most boring bra I own, but one of my favourites that deserves a mention. The Triumph Doreen. I quite often rant about modern underwear. Often just to myself when I’m alone in shops. Sometimes it feels like lingerie

Friday Frock Love – Love Ur Look

Todays Friday Frock Love is a new discovery. Last week, while in London for a blogger breakfast briefing, I also popped in to some press days I had been invited to. One of them was tucked away in a suite in a hotel in Soho. The invite came from a brand called Love Ur Look.

Retro Chick Reviews: MUA Lipstick Shade 13

MUA is a brand that several people mentioned when I asked for brands to review. It’s SUPER cheap, and I mean super cheap. It cost just one measly pound for a lipstick. If I am ever utterly destitute I know that a trip to Superdrug and I will be able to remain red lipped for

Night Time Glamour

Something I am finding a bit of a trauma at the moment is finding nice sleepwear. It is, of course, entirely possible that I am just fussy as hell. I can’t sleep in pyjamas, I want a nightdress. Satin looks nice and moves easily on sheets, but I don’t want it to cling to me

How To Find Vintage Style on the High Street

I love Vintage Clothing. It’s often better made, fits my shape better and, although duplicates are around, there’s much less chance of turning up at an event in the same frock as someone else.
