The weather was absolutely gorgeous today, so my boyfriend and I decided to have a picnic at Hainault Forest near where we live. I made some home-made fried chicken, which was amazingly delicious even if I do say so myself! I also wore my new dress that I got from work, you can see it in a picture my boyf took with his old polaroid camera:

Hello hello! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas; mine was spent mainly drinking too many cosmopolitans and eating too many strawberry Quality Street chocolates, tea cakes and Cadbury’s chocolate fingers! I was lucky enough to get lots of lovely things, and I will put up some outfit posts soon of the vintage pieces that I got.
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:

I did get some people asking for an outfit post of the things I got from eBay recently so I thought I would give it a go. At the moment I'm just using the mirror inside my wardrobe door but I remembered that we had a couple of tripods in the loft so I'll get those down and hopefully get some better shots the next time an outfit post comes along!!
I had quite a lot of trouble with this coat! Firstly, it took forever to arrive because the seller said they had to suddenly move house. I was getting worried that I had been scammed but it arrived in the end, but the bottom half was badly wrinkled and my dry-cleaner guy said that it had been dry cleaned on a temperature that was too high and it was stuck that way. But my mum, being very handy with a needle and thread, unpicked all the panels, stretched them and sewed them back together and now it's perfect! Oh and don't worry the fur is fake :-)
This second outfit is a bit strange for me because I usually wear brighter colours, but I am keeping an open mind and I do quite like it. The knitted jumper has a really cute pearl detail around the neck, and I teamed it with a hounds-tooth skirt that I have had forever, some spectator shoes and a brown purse.
This outfit is from the 80's but the peplum on the top reminded me more of the 30's, although the print is probably too loud for that era. However, I think with the right styling I could get away with a look earlier than the 80's. This time I wore it with a pair of lipstick red shoes that I got from my friends vintage store called Mary Rose Vintage (that's where the black and white spectator pumps are from too!)

Today whilst doing a spot of shopping in Brick Lane, I got asked to have my photo taken for Vogue Girl (Korea)!
The girl was really sweet and told me to email her for the photo, so when she sends it I will show you, but this is what I was wearing:
It really put a smile on my face for the rest of the day :)

I don’t have a lot of time to do a proper post because I am off to see The Raconteurs tonight with my boyf and some friends, so I thought I would just do a quickie outfit post.
Black and white check shirt – my boyfriend bought this when we went to Stockholm, Red belt vintage – The East End Thrift Store, High-waist red shorts – TopShop, White shoes – Office, Black wayfarers - Lady Luck Rules Ok
Again, I do apologise for the mess in the picture, my bedroom is simply too small for a hoarder like me! In future I will just shift everything out of the way to take the photo; I was just being lazy with this shot.
....I have only just noticed that I have worn black, white and red two days running. I do wear other colours, I swear!

After some sound advice from Selina over at Flying Saucer, I have decided to make outfit posts a common occurrence on my blog. I have a feeling that this is going to be like pulling teeth, because I know how fussy I can be!
As you can see the mirror in my bedroom is less than perfect, plus there is so much stuff I can barely move. I think it is definitely about time I moved out and got my own place! But this is basically my view in the mirror of today’s outfit.
Dress vintage – Absolute Vintage, Belt vintage – The East End Thrift Store, Shoes vintage – Lovecat Vintage.
Then, I tried again out in my back garden, only to find more mess! Don’t ask me why there is a ladder out there. I think it’s just too large to be anywhere else! I’m not sure I’m a big fan of this picture as I seem a lot wider than I actually am!! So maybe I shall use my bedroom mirror for now, and just move the fan out of the way next time, (btw: how much are you loving the weather right now?!?! I’m still preparing it to rain every morning!) because I think it gives the most accurate rendition of the real me!
