Zzzzz....

I am pretty sure nobody warned me about the sheer boredom I would encounter as a student. Seriously. Without a job to gurantee a monthly boost to my bank account I am living in fear of spending all my loan and being left penniless and unable to buy magazines and pick and mix. You know, the important things. Thank heavens for the £3 wine in Tesco, but a girl cannot live on wine alone. Well she can but all i will achieve is weight gain and bad skin, oh and alcoholism! All I can do is hope the job fairy comes along soon and believe me when it does I will be relieving my boredom the retail way! Maybe a sequin dress would be just the ticket to brighten the dreary Autumn days? Or maybe hit up Brick Lane and score me some vintage goodies before consulting the Vintage Guide to London for some fun times?



I am also considering filling my days with baking or cooking, top of my wishlist is parkin my favourite Yorkshire autumn treat. But buying ingredients and then tins etc always seems so expensive. As Kanye said “Having moneys not everything, not having it is”.

Eastenders....

Sorry for the lack of posts but I am now a student! Official. Enrolled and everything! Thats why I haven't been on the internet. No internet!!! I have it now though.
Due to my lack of internet I am super behind on looking at pictures of s/s11 but from what I am seeing so far its the same as last year so just keep hold of your leather/sheer/big knickers. Luckily I am living just off Brick Lane so I can get me plenty of vintage stuff until current designers decide to do something exciting.

I also have been told by uni that I am to pop alomg to the Grace Kelly exhibition at the V&A, no biggie was going to anyway. Its on til the 26th so if you wanna see how the old school did glamour check it out quick sharp.

I also quite fancy the Diagheliv and the Golden Age of the Ballet Russes exhibition, with costume collaboraters including Coco Chanel and Pablo Picasso it should be a nice little treat for the eyes.

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!

Washer Woman



Love your clothes? Really love em? Well then show them you do and look after them! I've just seen a brilliant guide to taking care of vintage clothing, at Mooky Chick but I apply these methods to delicate or extra special pieces too. And most importantly, underwear.
I was going to make my own guide to hand washing but why bother when this one is brilliant?
P.S. Its a pretty sweet site too, check it out.

Oh beehive...

2 posts in one day?!?!? Whatever next?

I can't believe no one ever told me how awesome Hairspray is! I watched it last night. New one, old one is now on my lovefilm list. And it reminded me about ho much I love wearing my hair in a mini beehive. I just need to work on getting it massive now so I can get kicked out of class for my huge hair. And just wait til I put all that cupcake pink dye I bought in it!!!

Pandoras Box...

I love it when I find a new site full of goodies just like the fantastic House of Pandora. Vintage clothing as well as new designers and none too expensive prices. Heaven.
