I do love the costumes in Poirot, so gorgeous.
I'm inspired by illustrations in old magazines and the covers of old sheet music as well. I have one on my wall, "Till Stars Forget to Shine" and I absolutely want to look like that at a ball I'm going to at the end of the month!
I've recently...
I get down a lot, and can't be bothered to make the effort, but like some other ladies have said, forcing myself to make the effort at least to apply a bit of make up makes me feel so much better.
I don't have any sweat pants, so I wouldn't wear those and I don't find jeans very comfortable...
Miss Scarlet I feel exactly the same about vintage fur!
I wrote about it on the blog when someone bought me to task on a vintage fur coat. I think people seem to feel disproportionately strongly about ANY fur, when they'll happily wear a silk dress which involved boiling moths to death!
I...
Ah, my first kiss was when I was 14, I had braces and the next day all the back of my top lip was cut, so some work on technique was presumably required!
The first pair of shoes I bought with my own money were Converse All Stars, I think. Strange because I can't afford a pair now!
First...
I just bought a gorgeous hat from eBay. It came from the US and the shipping was actually reasonable, it arrived in under 4 working days AND she refunded me excess postage paid.
Terrible photo, but I used my hipstamatic iPhone! It's actually navy with an ivory flower. I struggle to find...
I'm a third for Bravissimo!
I always got the feeling most places were just trying to squish me into whatever sizes they sold. Bravissimo measured me as a 30FF and I now have a bra that fits for the first time in my life. However, I also can now only buy my bras in Bravissimo as I've not seen...
I actually made someone recoil in horror last week.
I was only wearing tweedy check high waist trousers, a black jumper and a snood with a rolled fringe. I walked out of a Charity Shop and one of the shop assistants was coming in through the door. She really recoiled with a sharp intake of...
This is the bag I generally carry every day, though I do switch around occasionally to match my outfit.
It's leather and I got it from a Charity Shop for £1.50! It just about fits everything in. I have a smaller navy leather bag and a black frame handbag that I regularly switch to.
I used to...
My hair is so fine and flat that I used to keep it fairly short and wash it every day.
I've grown it a little longer now and I've trained myself out of the habit. I probably wash it every 4 or 5 days now? I find it feels thicker and easier to manage. I don't rinse it either as I find that makes...
their website has a bit of an odd set up I think, but they don't sell directly through their website I don't think? I don't remember seeing a buy button.
There's loads of eBay sellers, and Office London stock them too.
