Lipstick and florals

Posted in Uncategorized by

I thought i would share my latest lipstick purchase, and a nice little outfit too!

This is the outfit I wore this tuesday, consisting of a lovely late 50s boussac cotton floral skirt, gap top and clarks shoes. The highlight of my outfit though has to be my Tatty Devine pen nib earrings! I love these earrings. From a distance they look quite conventional until you get close up and see they are little pen nibs with ink drips!

 
 
 

On to the lipstick though! I have been wearing the same YSL red since I was 17. I like a red with a teeny hint of orange to it. I’ve tried other ones since, but I always go back to YSL 150.

My only reason for buying a different lipstick was Superdrug 3 for 2, but I’m pretty impressed with my choice! I purchased one of the new-ish Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks in shade 22. It’s a lot deeper red than my other one with a slight hint of pink to it. I have to say I absolutely LOVE the colour, although it doesn’t have particularly great staying power.

Winter may be closing in, but I still think it’s summer.

So, as we edge closer to December my clothes seem to think it’s still August. I do’t know what it is about me, I just can’t do winter.

Anyway, thought i would share two of my fave outfits of the last week, demonstrating that I still seem to think it’s summer.

This was my outfit for one of my best pals engagement parties last week. GAH! Everyone is growing up : (

Dress: Blanes (late 50s)
Shoes: Rayne (early 60s)
Earrings: These came from the V&A shop years ago!

I actually ended up wearing flat shoes in the end…but these gorgeous diamate encrusted numbers did look pretty swish with my outfit.

This was my outfit on tuesday.

Jumper: Jaeger (early 60s)
Skirt: Amezzzin Parisian print number. I actually had one of these in black too that I sold. This is a home made number from the 50s.
Shoes: Vans. I live in these blimmin things at the moment.
Brooch: Tatty Devine. Look it’s a bunny with a little fluffy tail!

In need of a party dress?

This week, again I have listed some FABULOUS vintage party dresses for your viewing pleasure (AND i have more to come!!!). Whether you want to go all out disney Princess in a Cinderella esque number or, if your taste is distinctly closer to 70s disco glam I have something for you this week!

View all of the listings here.

This is what I call the ultimate Cinderella dress. Dating to the 50s and made of layers upon layers of frothy blue net, it is accented with tiny sequins and beads.

This beautiful pink number is equally delightful. Great for a christmas time ball, but equally an all year round party dress!

This Frank Usher (unlabeled but I am assured it is) is absolutely show stopping. A real feat of construction. Dates to the mid 50s.

This black Susan Small number is PURE glamour

This gorgeous pinky red Horrockses number has a matching stole with it.

…or if your taste is a little later I also have a number of absolutely fab-u-lous 70s dresses on offer.

This Horrockses maxi dress will certainly draw attention. Made from bronze lurex with a daringly low front!

This Ossie Clark mini dress is really versatile. Great satin and moss crepe combo and can be worn by itself, or with trousers (it isn’t quite as short as it looks!)

Or, if a dress isn’t quite what you are after at the moment I also have the most wonderful selection of hats available right now. Dating through from the 20s to modern.

I’m also selling off most of my collection of Rayne shoes, a few of which come in their original boxes.
