Peaches and Pearls

Technically I’m on holiday. I’ve been off on a little mini break over the weekend, but I’ve still got a few days before Mr Chick returns to work and we’re making the most of them, especially considering the beautiful weather. We stayed at the Royal Wells Hotel in Tunbridge Wells for a few nights which

Retro Chick Style Icon – Drew Barrymore

This is when I fell in love with Drew Barrymore. It was the 90s. I was a teenager, she was 4 or 5 years older than me and the rock n roll Princess of grunge glamour. With visible roots, risque outfits, bright red lips and a hell of an attitude. I wanted to *be* her.

What Are You Wearing? A Little Bit Landgirls.

Believe it or not I’m not off to plough fields and plant potatoes. I’m merely popping out to the pub for a quick drink. I rarely wear trousers, but I found these gorgeous, high waisted, check wool Hobbs trousers and really felt the urge to build an outfit around them. I actually think they’ll probably

Retro Chick Presents: Vintage Style Hair Rolls

Those of you that follow me on Twitter will have seen that I’ve changed my avatar there, and in other places, to this photo from the Bo Nanafana Havana Ball Well, I thought you might like a tutorial as to how to achieve this look yourself. As I’ve mentioned before I’ve had short hair since

Friday Fair Trade Frock Love

Fair Trade Fortnight comes to an end on Sunday, so I thought I’d see it out with some Fair Trade Frock Love. Unlike previous Friday Frocks these dresses are all from different Fair Trade retailers. They are all utterly gorgeous, with the added bonus that you don’t have to worry that some poor child in

What Are You Wearing? When Retro Chick Didn't Match.

Yesterday I bought new shoes. From a Charity Shop. I don’t often find shoes that I like, are my size, or are a price I’m willing to pay for second hand shoes in Charity Shops, but these were just £3.75 and I loved the style. They’re New Look, nothing fancy, but I do like New

The screening took place in the swanky Soho Hotel screening rooms  and was to celebrate the launch of 2 new ranges of jewellery for Disney Couture inspired by the movie from designer Tom Binns.

London Fashion Week- Estethica – Tara Starlet

By FAR the highlight find of my otherwise not great Saturday was when I stumbled across Tara Starlet in the Estethica Exhibition. I’d found them online a few days earlier, looking at the Estethica exhibitors. It’s not often you come across a label that so completely meshes with your own likes and I was particularly
