Today I went into central London with my boyfriend and his mum to do a spot of shopping in Harrods, which was totally packed because of the sale. Then we went to Leon in Spitalfields for some lunch – if you live in London you should definitely try this place, they use organic/ fair trade/ seasonal ingredients in all their dishes, which are delicious! This is what I wore:
Obviously I had a coat on over the top, because it is freeezing here! My bedroom is an absolute tip at the moment, so I put myself in front of a lovely floral background instead :-)
Since I haven’t got any photos yet of the clothes I got for Christmas, I thought I would show you some pages out of some annuals that I picked up at the Angels sale (that I wasn’t allowed until Christmas!)
This first lot is from an annual of 1950’s Elle magazines:
These two are from Elle magazine 1954-55:
This lot is from Elle 1956:
And finally, this last lot is from a book titled ‘Les Modes’ from 1901, so I assume it is some sort of fashion publication that was out in 1901. Unfortunately I can’t read any of it because it is in French, but the pictures beautiful:

Les Modes was a fashion magazine :D The first says it is a ballgown, the second is a a sort of house coat (soooo prettty), and the third, I'm not sure on, but usually "de courses" means shopping, so maybe it is a dress for going shopping?
Does the Woman's Frienc say "FILE Cliche Dept"? Because that would be pretty funny.
AMAZING outfit! I love the fauxlero look, and it fits so well!

That dress is a beautiful fit and what a amazing figure you have!
I love finding vintage magazines, so much better to see the real thing then an inspired modern day shoot.

thanks on the input in regards to what to wear… will keep it in mind.
Oh my Penny! You look fantastic. Where do I start?! I love the dress. It fits you like a glove. It compliments your amazing silhouette. They way you belted it made for the perfect touch.
Tres Chic! I can just picture you strolling the streets of Paris in this look. A job well done!
