Retro Chick Reviews: Dirty Works Pore-fect Facial Hot Cloth Cleanser

Recently I’d been pretty impressed with the Boots No.7 Hot Cloth Cleanser But it doesn’t seem to be a product that is stocked in smaller Boots stores, so when I ran out while on holiday I found myself trying to source a replacement in a local Sainsburys. I picked up the Dirty Works Pore-fect Facial

Retro Chick Reads: 5 Books You've Probably Already Read

It’s that time of year that people read a lot of books. Or it is if  I believe the lifestyle sections of newspapers and magazines. It seems the whole world is booking in for 2 weeks in the sun, stacking up their suitcase with paperbacks or topping up their Kindle with new reads and heading

My Vintage Confession

I have a confession to make. I’m not really a vintage blogger. When I started this blog I ran a vintage and second-hand clothing eBay shop. I posted little collages of clothes I had for sale, jazzed up with a few modern accessories, and sometimes of modern clothes given a retro look. I had the

A Dress For All Seasons

Remember back in those dark and dreary days we call February? The days when all was grey and miserable, before we remembered that the sun WILL return? Well, back in those days I really pushed the boat out on a £12 dress because I was skint and hated my whole wardrobe. Well, now the sun

Race for Life 2014

Well, last time I ran Race for Life Twilight I said I might turn up late and skip the warm up, but I didn’t mean this late. Last weekend I ran Race for Life with the Norfolk Brawds at the Norfolk Showground, and the start was like every nightmare I ever had in the run
