5 Vintage Myths

I’ve been into “vintage style” for quite some time now. From back in the days when I liked a prom dress and a pair of lady like shoes and to dream that I could *really* dress like I was in an old movie. To the days when I discovered that there WERE people who always

The Future's so Bright….

I *should* have worn shades! On Friday afternoon I was going out for lunch and as the weather was so beautifully bright and sunny I decided it was the perfect opportunity to wear that fabulous Boden dress I bought in TK Maxx over the Easter weekend. I also decided it was the perfect opportunity to

Retro Chick Reviews: Style Me Vintage 1940s

I was very excited last week when the latest in the Style Me Vintage series dropped through my door. This is the 6th book I’ve now reviewed in the series and I can safely say they just keep getting better. What I really love about them is their accessibility. They’re all a blend of information

Trowse 10k 2015

Well. what a weekend filled with sporting activities I’ve had! There was no partying after Eastern Sur5al for me, because I had to get up stupidly early to get down and pick up my number for the Trowse 10k which starts at 9am. Last year I called the Trowse 10k “My Slowest Yet“, but this

I hope you’re all enjoying your Easter Weekend? I’ve had my Mum & Dad up to visit for part of it, and on Good Friday my Mum decided we ought to eat fish, because, you know, tradition. I REALLY hate cooking fish normally, and I’m not a huge fish eater as I hate the bones,

Mad March Me

So it’s April Fools Day and I have spent all morning disbelieving everything I read. But as it’s midday now I hope I am safe from being convinced by clear marmite, Nutella candles (I would totally buy these) or instagram filters for car windscreens. It’s Easter this weekend, but I don’t exactly have a relaxing

Play Purses for Grown Ups

I spent Friday night exploring glamorous Ealing. On Saturday we were heading to Wembley to watch the Rugby (and more importantly, my Mum and Dad singing with Rock Choir on the pitch) so we treated ourselves to a hotel the night before instead of trekking down from Norwich on the day. Don’t worry, today isn’t
