A Night Out 1960s Style

On Saturday night Myself, Hannah and Bethan went out to celebrate the end of GKR (Goblin Kings revenge).
I searched for days for an outfit to wear but to no avail, I went through dress after dress, shoe after shoe and nothing seamed right but then I found my black Audrey Hepburn dress hiding in the back of my wardrobe.
"Yes! You beauty!" I was heard shouting, I had completely forgot that I even owned the thing.
And just like that I had my whole look planned including hair and makeup.
I decided to mix things up a little and do a bit of a 1960s, Ronette look and I think I achieved it very well even if I do say so myself.

 

I kept my accessories to a bare minimum wearing only a watch and topped of the look with a cute pair of tan heels.

 I don't know whats going on with my facial expression here but hey ho.

 

Excuse the washing line and the wendy house in the background.

 Look at the length of Bethan's legs!

I will be the first to admit... I look quite tipsy in this photo but I still like it.

The night ended with a McDonalds and a late night/early morning showing of 'Allo 'Allo, all in all a good time was had by all.

Till next time, folks,

Obsessed with...

The Ronettes!

I have always loved music from the 1960s ever since I was around 9 years old. My first CD was a compilation call 'Super Sixties' and I listened to it non stop for about six months... I'm sure I drove my mother crazy with it.
Amongst some of my favourite groups from the sixties are The Small Faces, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Searchers, The Hollies and my most favourite... The Monkees! I also loved people like Dusty Springfield, Bobby Vee and Marty Wilde but I had never heard of the Ronettes... until now.
The are probably remembered as the "girl group" of the early '60s. They achieved their biggest success under producer Phil Spector. In towering black beehive hairdos and dark eye makeup, the Ronettes were a classic mid-sixties girl group with a sultry twist; vulnerable but tough, sexy but. sweet.
And I can't get enough of them! For the last few weeks all I listened to is The Ronettes, I just love their sound. It's like bubble gum pop but at the same time still pretty mature and adult.
Their biggest hit, as everyone will know, is Be My Baby but they had so many other great songs like This Is What I Get For Loving You and Paradise but my all time favourite song by The Ronettes is... I Want A Boy.
It is such a cute catchy little song and I want to share it with you all. So here it is... The Ronettes singing I Want A Boy.

Hope you all Enjoyed it as much as I did,
