Apologies for the lack of posts, it's been a bit busy at the moment. I will have something up in a couple of days when I have some spare time!!

Oasis has two very nice dresses that I really want, but unfortunately both are quite expensive!

Black halter-neck dress £120

Coral strapless dress £90

The pink one doesn’t look like much in that picture, but it looks fantastic in the photograph on the homepage:



Time to start saving!

Purple is a key colour for autumn/winter, from soft lilac to regal purple and in everything from luxurious velvets through to glossy silks.



Primark are selling a really cute chiffon tea dress and a lovely misty mauve; and for only £10!
Edit: I was cooking dinner and splashed oil on it and it's now ruined :( sob

I found THE cutest dress on eBay, but it’s a bit more than I would like to pay.


So feel free to snap it up!

I truly love people who opt for vintage clothing instead of modern high street attire; I myself am a massive fan of it also and have many many items in my wardrobe from various vintage stores all over London.




I would love to dress in head-to-toe vintage every day, but it does take a lot of time trawling through racks and heaps of clothing to find a single gem; let alone enough to put a whole outfit together. Plus, on top of that there are little details like shoes (I am a size 7 and find it incredibly frustrating that all the shoes I fall in love with end up being a size 3!) and hairstyle. I know nothing about hair styling, but would love to learn more. I have finally managed to get the hang of curls thanks to my curling iron (and a bit of help from my mum to do the back!) but the girl who works in Beyond Retro had an amazing 50s hairstyle when I went last, and I wish I had taken a photograph for reference, it was like one big pompadour roll coming from the crown to the front like a fringe. It was very impressive, and I imagine took a lot of hairspray!
So I have made a vow to myself to take more time getting ready and put more thought into an entire ‘look’. Although I’m not sure how long this pledge will last!

The LBD at Lanvin:

One shouldered



Sheer neckline



The little black dress is definitely a wardrobe ‘staple’ (I use that word loosely because I don’t really like it, as obviously everyone has different needs and styles!) and can get a little boring, but there were some interesting styles happening on the Lanvin runway.

I’m a bit behind at the moment due to an awful throat infection, however I am now on the mend and thought today would be a good day to do some catch-up on some of my favourite vintage eBay stores, to see what I can spend my very first pay-check on!
