Friday Frock Love: Vintage Style Sale Bargains

Now we’re safely into January I feel able to talk about shopping again. The January sales are in full swing, and it’s a great time to bag things on the High Street that you’ve lusted after all year now they’re finally knocked down to something almost close to their actual worth. For today’s Friday Frock

Thrifty Vintage Winter Skin Care

Today I thought I’d tell you about my Skin Care routine. One of the things I love about learning about the past, and vintage glamour, is finding all those forgotten wonder products that our grandmothers and great grandmothers used for generations, and somehow we forgot. The thing I love about living right now is that

The Art of Thrifty Christmas Gifts

Oooh, we’re all feeling the squuuueeeze. It’s true because they talk about it on the TV all the time.  No one has any money, and lots of people don’t have any jobs.

40s Frocks and Parisian Fountains

Now, I COULD have put these photos in Mondays post. I COULD have done, but I like this dress, and I like the photos we took, so I decided to award them a blog post all of their own. This was Saturdays outfit for wandering the streets of Paris on really quite a warm autumnal

Winter Warmers

I wanted a cape for YEARS! You couldn’t find them anywhere, unless they were stupidly expensive. Now, all of a sudden, they’re everywhere! Of course, some of the things they call capes just appear to be coats with baggy sleeves. What I always wanted was something that’s essentially akin to a very smart blanket. Something

Retro Chick Reviews – Soap & Glory Super-Colour Fabulipstick

Well, this is SUPPOSED to be part of the red lipstick review series. You’ll notice however, that it doesn’t start with a chart. The reason for that is that this is most definitely not a red lipstick. Still, it’s a very good lipstick, so it’s worth reviewing anyway! I have a back log of red
