Introducing Lady Luck….

Actually it’s sort of a reintroduction. I first introduced you to Lady Luck’s Boutique all the way back in 2010 when I went in and took some photos of her beautiful shop in Norwich. Over the last 4 years Lady Luck, like several other boutiques I know, has taken her shop online only, with the

Things I Bought and a Spot of Roller Derby

So, I’m still all laid up with a sprained ankle. It’s not fun, and despite my unshakeable belief in my own magical healing powers after a week and a half it has mysteriously failed to be completely healed, almost as if the Doctor actually knew better than me when he said 4-6 weeks minimum. Humph.

Vintage Inspired Sunglasses for Every Decade

So, yeah, it’s July already. But you might have just lost your sunglasses, or be thinking about replacing last years, or just fancy a new pair. I used to be a devotee of the huge 70s inspired shades. Then I found myself somehow becoming an addict of oversized cats eye shades, and I now own

Nautical but Nice

I hope you all had a lovely weekend? I had a busy one, and it’s continuing into a busy few weeks to come, but this particular busy weekend was all fun stuff! Sunday was my Dads 60th Birthday and we were taking him out for lunch to celebrate. I wanted something nice to wear, and

Wimbledon starts today, hurrah! Much like the football, tennis isn’t something I follow on a regular basis.

A Night at The Glamazon

This is not the outfit I had planned to wear on Saturday. I had planned to wear a glorious black satin corset from Corsets UK. I’ve had it for months and had no opportunity to wear it, but the birthday party of Indigo Tattoo Studio featuring burlesque, and an Amazonian theme seemed the perfect opportunity.

Summer Frocks and Pies

Is it hot enough for you? I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but here it’s meltingly hot. It didn’t look that warm, then I went outside for a minute and a half and immediately came back in where it’s cool and I can see things. As it cools down later I plan

Purple Hair and A New Compact

A few weeks ago I got the nicest email. All the way back in 2011 a company got in touch and offered to send me a vintage powder compact to review, which I did. Then while I was on holiday an email came through thanking me for my help back then in the beginning, and
