warm winter clothes at last!

It's a bit late, now that the snow has gone, but I have finally bought myself some winter clothes... well I bought 1 sweater/jumper but it's a start at least and it means I wont be as cold as I have been of late (my own doing entirely I know).

Firstly ignore the possessed look on my face... In this picture I'm wearing it with a top I bought from George at Asda for £6, it has a little black collar, as you can see, which lies quite nicely over the neck of the sweater.

 The Jumper its self was only £14.99 from H&M and (if my memory serves me right) it comes in blue, green and...Mustard??? I'm not too sure.

And here I am again modeling it with a neck scarf and Victory rolls. I tell you it took ages to get those blighters in! I used to be so good at them :s

Urgh, those roots will be getting sorted tonight, I'm sure Doris would never have let hers get that bad.

 

Till next time folks, 'stay classy'....

I'm just kidding,

Bringing Things Up To Date-ish

So I guess I'm still not dressing for the weather (which in Britain at the moment is heavy snow) if last nights outfit is anything to go by but it was pretty cute anyway.

Last Night my Boyfriend 'Ulman' took me for dinner (I swear he's trying to make me fat) at Martinos.
I tried muscles  for the first time and enjoyed them and also sat and witnessed one of the most awkward dates to have taken place in history I believe.
But anyway back to my outfit....
I went for a 'modern' preppy look. I say 'modern' but non of the clothes I own are actually that modern so it was just my take on that genre.

Although I went for a 'modern' outfit I obviously did a typical vintage makeup look, couldn't step out the house if I didn't at least have some vintage in my ensemble.

My dress I bought from New Look a very long time ago so I can't tell you the price but the jacket as only (if I recall correctly)... £14.99 from H&M so was my hat which I bought back in December in the sale for £2.

Till next time Folks,

See you there,

Untitled (due to the fact that I can't think of a title)

Just a quick post to show you a cute little hairstyle I did on Saturday :)

I used a quick and simple pin curling technique which I will be doing a tutorial on and uploading to my new blog (dedicated to vintage style hair and makeup) http://make-mevintage.blogspot.co.uk/ .

I put my outfit together using a fairly old pencil skirt which I got from George for (if I recall correctly) £8? and the top is also from George, it cost £12 and is still available online and in stores.


On a different and slightly less vintage note, Friday was fishbowl night with Jessie Grace and Sarah Lou.

I'd had a long week at work and could not muster the energy to do anything nice with my hair (don't judge me!) so to compensate I wore my old Lindy Bop Wiggle dress which hadn't actually seen daylight since January 2012, poor thing.

The crippling shoes I wore which prevented me from standing up all night. But it turned out to be a blessing as Jessie Grace and Sarah Lou had to go to the bar all night.

A slightly fuzzy picture of one of the fish bowls we had, I lost count after the first three.

A rather comical photo of me looking mortified after accidentally groping a man on the way back from the toilets.

Till next time folks,

Round Up

Well as I haven't blogged in about a week I'll tell you all what I've been up to.
I've mainly been making meatballs and pin curling my hair see...

 

Uncooked

 

Cooked... somehow I think they look better uncooked :s

My 'Secret sauce'

 I could eat these bad boys all day long.

Well that was the meatballs, now for the pin curls!

 

 Upon seeing this photo my little sister remarked 'urgh you look bald!' Why thank you Charlotte.

The night that these were taken it was Hannah Potter's Birthday Night out which of course meant us all gathering together to get sloshed.

Black Lindy Bop dress

We're so in love!

Till next time folks,
