You simply must see my hairdresser, I detest whoever does yours.




Hello petals, I would like to introduce you to my new hat Rosalind (I like to name my favourite items, for instance my bike is called Bogey, my laptop Betty, I am crazed), which I snapped up on eBay, I believe it is from the 1940s. I feel it is vital for me to acquire as many leopard print items as possible as otherwise I may have to change the title of my blog. I am wearing it with a recent-ish dress from Pin Up Parade, which was only £10 as the neckline does not sit right, but I loved the colour and length. 



















I love Rosalind







Vintage earrings used as dress clips, as I am very resourceful

This is the look I will be sporting this Autumn, including rug.











The title of the post is a quote from Sylvia Fowler in The Women 1939.
