Top of the Retro Chick Pops 2010

Well, there’s just 3 days left of 2010…. How was it for you? It’s been an interesting one for me.

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas? The Retro Chick household has unfortunately been hit by the dreaded lurgy which we’re now trying to shake off in time for New Years Eve. On Christmas Day we still felt rather spoilt in the present department and had a lovely lunch at Cafe Rouge (no washing

Local Love: Lady Lucks Boutique

I planned to visit Lady Lucks Boutique a few weeks ago, but Jade asked me to wait until she’d made the shop all pretty for Christmas So I did. One of the things I love about independent shops is that they have the freedom to make their shops as pretty as they like. No corporate
