You're the glitter in the dark

So a few weeks ago I went and saw the eerily beautiful sounds of Bat for Lashes. Which gave me a perfect opportunity to dress like Miss Havisham on an LSD trip. Initially, I was going to wear the 1930s pale blue lace number but got rather worried that it might rip. Truth be told I rarely worry about my clothes, even my very old ones, but this one is so delicate I did not want to chance it.

So I wore the ice skater hooker dress from Topshop. 

The gig was amazing, it was at Manchester Cathedral, so it was a perfect venue for Natasha Khan. To my dismay hardly anyone seemed to be dolled up in the audience, and me my boyfriend seemed to be standing out like sore thumbs as we were towering over everyone, jeez don't say I am getting to old for gigs?! 











This is a first for my blog, me sitting down, I am such a fricking fidget, this rarely happens. 








Final thought, let's take a moment to appreciate Natasha's awesome style.

Red and Green Must Never Be Seen

Sometimes I like dressing like a Christmas tree, wearing mostly green with a splash of red (lipstick doesn't really count but with the diamanté detailing I felt like a tree). Whoever said that red and green don't go together pft?!

This was a purchase over a year ago from the Decorative fair, I barely wear it as its scratchy wool and I am a delicate sod. Today me and some lovely friends went to my favourite vintage fair, The Vintage Village in the gorgeous Historic Market in Stockport. I bought some beautiful things that I will post about soon. I need to quit buying impractical items, but all the practical stuff is too pricey, coat £70? no give me a chorus girls costume for a fiver thanks. Ooh and I have new shoes, if you follow me on instagram you will note I had drooled over these in a magazine, well I got them in the sale even better, so very autumnal don't you think? Oh and I lopped two inches off my hair whilst watching the new Bat for Lashes video, I have bob envy issues.



Sorry about the heater, it's getting cold like.


















Said video, going to see her next Monday  super excited, I am going to wear so much glitter you will see me from space.
