Well Hello

To be honest I almost forgot that I had a blog, I haven't exactly wrote anything since March, so I have a feeling this will be a very random post.

The last few days we've had a mini heat wave, it actually feels like the Mediterranean- it's been beautiful. It has convinced me on my 'colour' choice for summer I'm not going for deathly pale or extremely tanned I'm going to go for healthy glow so I don't look like a vampire, I am however re dying my hair to almost black I think, I like it and it stands out more.

I'm still on my quest for a vintage life and wardrobe and have



been bidding on beautiful things on eBay however they've all been a little too much and tonight I'm hoping and praying for an eBay miracle on a wonderful blue and white floral dress (I'm still searching for a Shaheen). I finally found the Vintage Fashion Guild, God knows why I didn't find it sooner, it has information on vintage designers and labels and trends and the forum is brilliant for any and almost every vintage fashion question.

Anyway I bought some cute shoes off eBay (I think they're 1940's- maybe i should try asking the VFG forum) and I love them to pieces and they fit like a glove, I can't believe my luck there!



I've also started to collect something else *eeek* I found these 2 photos in a little antiques shop and thought about how cute it would be to collect 'fashion' pictures of best friends or sisters, mothers and daughters. They only cost me 90p each so it's somewhat of a cheap, left over change thing but I think they're cute and in a way I feel sad for them sitting in a box never to be seen again and separated from their owners (or relatives).

I don'y have much to say

that is all

Warehouse

I can honestly say I've never really looked in Warehouse and I'm glad I did, I spotted this amazing maxi dress on one of the store assistants and she looked AMAZING so I just had to try it (I did go back after she wasn't there) and I fell in love with it, the one I picked out didn't have a belt which is fine because I didn't like the belt anyway plus I got discount!



I'm also having, a somewhat odd, debate on skin tone/ colour- I don't know whether to go for tanned or pale white this summer, if its a tan it will be from a bottle otherwise if I just sunbathed I'd look like a lobster but pale is always more interesting although I may just look odd instead and ill.

Also I got my dresses back from the dressmaker and they are brilliant, they now fit perfectly.

I believe I'm up to 4 turnoffs and 3 turn ons in this little challenge thingy but I can write more than that so here it goes

OFF

- hairy/ hobbit toes- please shave them, please
- actually lots of hair in general I find off putting
- pretentious idiots- funnily enough not everything is about you
- lies
- rudeness
- lateness- I will never forget if you're late
- when you won't teach me how to play xbox
- man makeup!


ON

- intelligence and good grammar
- mystery- although I love men to be mysterious it will eventually drive me insane
- nice eyes
- a cheeky smile, especially those slightly crooked ones
- a 'British' accent- odd thing to say as I am British but I mean either a London lad accent such as Ed Westwick or the slightly posh English accent
- guys who play the piano and/ or can sing

The Mount

Since I was little there's been 2 houses I've always adored and wanted to sneak in and explore, one is Perry Hill Farm House which I think I may have mentioned before, the other is The Mount (although sometimes it's called The Lodge as well). Well they been the sort of houses that I promised myself that if I ever won the lottery I'd go knock on their door and ask if they were selling, I found out a few months ago that Perry Hill farmhouse was for sale and to my absolute delight I found out that The Mount is also for sale now. Although I could never afford either (unless I do win the lottery) at least I can have a look in via the estate agents websites (I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let a 21 year have a viewing of a £800,000 house). Perry Hill Farmhouse didn;t live up to my expectations, The Mount on the other hand has gone way beyond my expectations, it's all victorian and adorable and I cannot say how much I love it and how I secretly hope they'll put the contents up for auction so I can own at least one tiny bit of this beautiful house. The photos are from the Rightmove website and all I can ask is that if someone reading this has enough money to buy it please let me tag along for the viewing pleeeease.

Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor died in her sleep last night aged 79, in her prime she was such a beauty and such a brilliant actress, rest in peace.

Topshop

A







And just when I was about to give up on them being able to produce beautiful things, I've been staring at these shoes for weeks.

£5 notes

They're putting more in cash machines- I can see myself having an epic collection of cripsy £5 notes!

And I give in, I;m back on facebook although it is boring!
