Happy Christmas!

Hello there lovely friends, hope you are having a wonderful holiday, whatever you may be doing. I am cosy on the sofa watching Casablanca, what more could a girl want.

Here's to a fabulous new year, thank you so much for all your lovely comments and letting me share with you in this little creative community of blogland.

Date night & good hair

Past two weekends me and Ben have been decorating the front room, jeez are high Victorian ceilings hard to make over. We are nearly getting there, just need to get rid of the seriously heinous brown stained carpet. I want to hire an industrial sander and renovate the floorboards, just hoping they are in good enough condition to do so! Anyway, being in your scruffs all day isn't much fun so we went out for a lovely Italian meal last night and I was rather chuffed that my hair managed to look nice after having my pincurls under a scarf all day. Inca was also eager to share this joy of a good hair evening!

I wore a little Zara polka dot number, it reminded me of the look Jane Russell had when she and Marilyn got their paws imprinted at Grauman's Chinese Theater. 

What have you been up to this weekend? If anyone has any tips on prettifying floorboards do share!

Kiss me hard before you go

This was my ensemble for Lana Del Rey on Thursday at Manchester Apollo, me and my sis and friend had been waiting for this gig for what seemed like forever! I decided I wanted to wear a play suit of some sort and won this ASOS number via eBay a few weeks ago. I was going to pair it with a gorgeous pink crop top which I think could be 50's or possibly 60's but it just wouldn't sit right! I am so obsessed with play suits right now, I just wish the weather would co-operate. *Side note check out Johanna's post on summer ensembles of this ilk. The headdress I made with some 99p cherries and floristry tape and wire I ended up swapping the shoes for my Golden Ponies Mary Janes as they are lot lower!

Lana was positively dreamy, her voice was heavenly and she was very smiley and sweet. She held my sister's hand (she is never going to wash again). The set was way too short for my liking, as she spent ten minutes signing and hugging fans at the front, I would of preferred three more songs but you can tell she adores her fans. I must admit that unfortunately the audience was one of the bitchiest, aggressive I've ever witnessed, and I have been in circle pits watching the likes of Slipknot, so I am no pussy. But whatever it was still very special. 

Also I think I am sartorially psychic as I always try and predict what my favourite musicians are going to wear and I was bang on with Lana's white babydoll 1960's number. Excuse the blurry shot I am not a fan of watching gigs through my phone.

My beautiful friend Claire, who is currently in the midst of renovating a gorgeous Victorian house! We like Victorian homes. 

Inca was not impressed we weren't taking her.

My gorgeous sister Amy, rocking her floaty black number and leopard heels, which she has had repaired so many times as she walks like John Wayne.

Note the line of lipstick on my chin, never fail to do that when I eat.

We headed to Luck Lust Liqor and Burn for a pre Lana gorge, the burittos are fricking heavenly I actually wana live in one. If you live in Manchester you must go.

Hope you have a beautiful weekend 

O' Sailor Why'd You Do It ?

I have always had a fascination with the sea and anything related i.e. sailors, mermaids, wooden ships, hidden treasure. So why not dress like a sailor? The jumper is from topshop and the dress worn as a skirt is h&m. This ensemble was a hit with the elderly a few weekends ago when I wore it, one lady went to stroke my arm when I was wearing this...
