How To Make A Flock Phone Ring!

OOHhhh.. just love this cerise flocked phone!
Just keep away all sticky fingers & sweaty paws

Cerise Flock Phone £85 by Retro To Go

Stylish Summer Skirt

Grab the last of summer with this delicous 50's style skirt.

So clean & fresh, would look amazing with plimsoles

Add a striped tee shirt 3/4 length sleeves & you have a fab/on trend look

If you want to make it even more scrumptious, wear with a full net petticoat

Skirt £40 Warehouse

Very Nice "Nougat"

Had a peep at the new website http://www.very.co.uk/
Its actually a "Littlewoods" company but a good website
I found this lovely dress
On trend painted roses & fifties styling

Dress on Very website by Nougat £85
Great for Pears - as accentuates shoulders

Littlewoods Lovelies

Even Fearne Cotton likes the virtues of Littlewoods
Or maybe its just the pay packet!
But looks like they have some lovely goodies on their website

Just LOVE the over the knee socks!

Stripes Are Go

Trends for next Spring 2010
Think Paris, cinematic & 1960's
Black & white stripes with splashes of bright blue & red
Be ahead of the game and get this look for AW 2009!

Love the stripe & spot mix!!

The Clever Art to Packaging

How clever are these?
Yes, I was tempted to buy a pair of mens underpants because the packaging is so groovy!
Absolutely shocking I know... but very, very clever marketing


Mens pants Diesel £20

Roes are Red & Sometimes Pink

Get in the Pink with this special bag
Makes me go all rosy!

Bag from Boden £79
Look amazing with polka dots for a summer christening

Wedding Wishlist

I have a last minute evening wedding reception to go to

Wasn't quite sure what to wear!

But found this gorgeous dress & thought it was perfect

Needs a little cardi for my "auntie arms" maybe in a deep midnight

So if I had a wishlist for my evening wedding this would be it

The truth is I will have a rummage in the back of my wardrobe & see what wonders I can find

Another great shape for "Pear Girls" lacking in the bosom dept

Dress from Osogood £85

All Hitched Up & Ready To Go

The new skirt shape out is all hitched up & ready to go!

Found these 2 lovelies!

White skirt Dorothy perkins £28

Striped skirt Osoyou (website) £38

I love the striped one, fab with plimsoles for glam day at the seaside

If you haven't the cash to spend on a new skirt why not create your own.

I have done this with a maxi dress & just tucked the hem in my knickers.... looked fab!

But you could also do it with a longer skirt & just tack the hem up - will give the same effect

Cheap & Chic

Retro To Go

Keeping with the Retro feel

Found these amazing bags!

Bukta bag £28.99

Penguin holdall £65
Love the red one, great for an overnight bag.. just need somewhere to go!

Adidas goes All Stars

These amazing retro pumps are just gorgeous!
I love my All Stars & when they are so worn out they quickly get replaced with another colour.
But am tempted by these lovely ones to replace my current forlorn red All Stars
The bright blue is a really key colour & would look lovely with a fifties style floral skirt

I wonder if they come in any other colours?
Adidas pumps £50

RETRO EYES

Found this amazing photo of Elvis & Priscilla.
I love Elvis, especially his hair!
Had never noticed Priscilla before until yesterday when I found this pic
Her Retro Eye make up is just the loveliest
Think I might give it a go, just might wait til I've got back from the super market run.

Prominent eye make-up & nude lips nails very on-trend this summer

SHOP STYLE WEBSITE

Found a great new website http://www.shopstyle.co.uk/

You just type in what you are looking for - day dress!

Then up pops all the day dresses from the high street... amazing!

I found this lovely little black dress, great for pears with nice brown legs!!

Lipsy £55

MILITARY "MUST HAVES"

Have just returned from a lovely long relaxing holiday!

Still in holiday mode & not wanting to venture out into the commercial world I was convinced I would be able to nip into the bank with my new found "blinkers"

Who was I kidding?

I was pulled like a magnet into nearly every store I passed...

What I did discover is that in the past few weeks, the high street has turned into Military Madness

Was I tempted? You bet!

I treated myself to a Zara one £15 reduced from £50!

Primark had a fab one for £18 but the "Tulip" curved hem shape isn't very flattering for the 40 something bottom

Opt for a straight hem, fitted style

Like this one from French Connection £75

Great with jeans & boots & grey marl stripe tee.
