Lingerie Love: Gok Wan Shapewear

Now, we all know that “shapewear” is nothing new. Spanx are a weedy girdle, those things with hooks and eyes that come in a scary flesh colour are just modern waist cinchers and “bodyshapers” are just corselettes. All they’ve done is removed the suspenders because everyone seems to wear tights these days. I am a

What Are You Wearing? Deco Details

Todays outfit is once again bought to you from the bedroom of a Holiday Inn. I’ve worn this a few times now, but this is the first time I’ve got round to photographing it for an outfit post. I really like it with my new hair cut as I think it has a really 1930s

Local Love: Flint Hair and an exclusive Special Offer

Norwich really is a lovely place to live. I’ve considered moving before, but the thought makes me sad. It’s a vibrant and exciting city that has pretty much everything I need right on the doorstep. So, in the run up to *cough* Christmas. I thought it was high time to high light some of those

Seeing as it’s nearly Halloween it seemed the perfect time for some Fangy Fashion inspiration. Specifically the fangy fashion in True Blood. Series 2 is showing on UK TV at the moment, but being the impatient type I’ve already downloaded it on iTunes and watched the whole thing. I got through an entire series and

Friday Frock Love: Winter Warmers

Just because the weather is chilly doesn’t mean it’s time to move into trousers and stay there till Spring. Lengthen the sleeves, add some thick stockings, and, if it’s really cold, a vest and slip and dresses are still the one stop easy way to get dressed in the morning even when the weather is

Halloween Costumes: Your Inspiration

Suffice to say I still haven’t decided on Halloween costume. Now, however, I am overwhelmed instead of underwhelmed with ideas. This is classic me. I shall spend 2 weeks brainstorming wonderful elaborate ideas, do nothing about them, then get my witches hat with the feather trim out of the attic or stick on a pair
