Retro Chick Gets Radar

From where I’m sitting it looks like we’re going to have a May full of all those April showers we should have had in, er, April. Bank Holiday Monday, however, was absolutely glorious for once and so we made the most of it and headed out to the country to the Radar Museum in Neatishead.

A Change is as Good as a Rest

January and February are always tough months! Cold, miserable, and skint after spending all your money at Christmas sometimes it feels like Spring is NEVER coming. So Friday was pay-day, and seeing as we don’t have the time or money for an ACTUAL holiday, we booked ourselves into a B&B about 2 miles away from

Well I’m certainly feeling Christmassy now! Yesterday was Mummy Chicks birthday, and for the first time in forever I actually got to spend it with her. Having a December birthday can be a real pain as it’s a busy month for everyone, but this year the opportunity came up and off to Kent I went!

Saturday Night (Not) At The Movies

Well, todays post was *supposed* to be about an amazing trip to Secret Cinema. However, in case you missed the memo, the first weeks screenings of Back to the Future were all cancelled, at very short notice. Leaving lots of disappointed, angry and out-of-pocket people. My trip was mostly being covered by the truly wonderful

My Top 10 So Vintage Finds

Or the alternative title for this would be “Awesome Weekend Pt.2” I’ve worked with Old Spitalfields Market before when they had me down to judge an awards and they were really lovely people, and an amazing market. So when I got another email from them asking me to come down again I was quite excited!

Vegas Baby! – The trip home

Ok, this is my last post on Vegas, I promise! Day Three wasn’t even a full day, but it felt like I needed a round up of my trip, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity. I woke up to sun streaming through my curtains as I’d forgotten to close them when I stumbled back
