Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer collection in Selfridges – not fast fashion, but trashy/clashy style!

Posted on March 20, 2012 by

Glitz and glam – most certainly more dash than cash!

Posted on November 25, 2011 by

Walking into the office about a month ago, my boss declared she was planning her birthday party and I was head of music. Hurrah! As I’m a “pretty much everyone else’s choice is just not good enough” variety of music … Continue reading →

113 – Jessie J, the Mail Online and the issue of warpaint

Posted on May 13, 2011 by

113/252 Seeing as though this month’s fash mags are full of outfits and styles I actually find rather cool, I am left with no alternative but to head elsewhere for my read and rant desires. This sick need, like that … Continue reading →

111 – The “You have been outbid” heartache

Posted on May 13, 2011 by

111/254 Freshly spoilt from the luxury of vintage market shopping on Sunday I began today to feel the pangs of vintage withdrawal. Having worn, for the third day running, my beautiful £10 vintage dress (hygiene is nothing, style is everything), … Continue reading →

109 – Vintage Village VE Day May Fair

Posted on May 10, 2011 by

109/256 Every second Sunday of the month Stockport’s Vintage Village sets up shop in the fantastically sun spilled old market hall. I have written about it before, and love it dearly, yet unfortunately, due to Campervan distractions, missed last month’s.  … Continue reading →

99 – A head for hats

Posted on April 21, 2011 by

Posted on April 18, 2011 by

97/268 I have always had a vintage bug, an addiction I feed happily with regular vintage market jaunts (heroin) and charity shop visits (methadone). However, due to unforeseen circumstances (serious words for serious times), I found myself out of new … Continue reading →

93 – A temporary venture into non vintage

Posted on April 13, 2011 by

93/272 The past fortnight has been a rushed one. Before we could finish the sentence “Maybe a holiday abroad would be nice this year”, we had Florence and Tuscany booked, paid for and pretty much all planned. I do tend … Continue reading →
