Lady in red....

.....Its my birthday soon!!!! Unfortunatley I will be in London away from all my besties and boyfriend :( Fortunatley I am going to celebrate early. Woohoo!!! Of course birthdays mean going out, drinking, dancing and possibly falling over, so what better to fall over in than a new outfit? Hooray!

Haha wonky or cheesy? I can't do photos.

But how awesome eh? Early birthday present from aforementioned boyfriend, bought for me while we were at Vintage Threads in Manchester. I was having a bad shopping day until someone handed us a flyer for a vintage fair.

And of course I needed new shoes.

I'll get proper non-blurry, akward posed pictures on Saturday I'm sure.

Last year I fell down the stairs and had to hang my shoes on a coat hanger in the cloakroom, so wish me luck this year. Seriously it was painful, I still can't lean on my elbow!

I was just doing some research from my books and I came across this picture in my book of Chanel by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I can't believe I had forgotten about it. So so beautiful that I had to share.

My crappy scanner hasn't quite captured the same glitz of the stars as the book but you get the idea? Divine.
