I'm A-List baby, You Just Made It On 'A' List......

A Very Vintage Affair....im on a roll now!!

Fresh off the mark now i think there will be no stopping me and this blogging malarky! After my visit to the LBD exhibition i went onto a vintage fair in Carlisle.

The excitement i have over a vintage fair, stall or shop is stupidly huge amounts and i cant tally the amount of hours i spend dreaming of finding unique shops with amazing finds to add to my collection. On this occasion i went with a list of things i was desperately seeking;

1. a chocker style/ collar necklace huge and blingy

2. a pretty little tea dress

3. maybe a nice vintage across the body satchel

4. sample some delicious cakes from the stalls there!!

ok,so from these i manage to tick off two items, the necklace and it goes without saying where i'm concerned...the cake!!

Surprisingly though, and surprising in a delighted sense, i also picked up a little fur coat, beautiful and burgundy, and a little bow brooch to wear on it...just divine!!

Me in my beautiful fur coat, out for dinner at Lyzzick Hall Cumbria, and the short statement necklace and bow brooch i found, Coat -£20, Necklace -£10, Brooch -£2

Very Vintage Affair, Carlisle

i have a few shopping trips coming up with work soon, London, Barcelona and Copenhagen, as well as York this weekend with the boy,  i hope to add to my vintage finds then, 

i'll keep you posted.

"I Didn't Want Anything To Detract From Her Bones"

Wow my first post....finally!

My severe lack of oomph to get this thing up and running can only be credited to my hectic work schedule and quite frankly my desire to sleep more than my desire to look at a computer screen for any longer then i already do on a daily basis!

So the topic holding the honour of being my first official post?? Well, nothing less than the LBD would do of course.......

With my terrible shooting from the hip action i managed to sneak a cheeky few snaps past the burley security guards eye.............

As you may or may not know i moved to Manchester from Cumbria a little over eight months ago now, and recently i went home after quite a few months.

My mum had been dying to go to an exhibition on the ever faithful LBD at the Tullie House Museum at Carlisle, so i came home to indulge in some home comforts as well as the beautiful creations myself!

The collection of dresses spanned over a timeline of history up until the present day documenting the changes in the LBD from era to era.

The LBD a powerful statment of colour.

Black is worn to denote many a feeling, many beleive it symbolises power

and control, many beleive it displays a hidden ‘darker side’ of which craft and wizardry,

 black can be a dominating and overpowering shade...funnily enough black isn't a colour that i myself never seem to wear much of......

My wardrobe is full of colour, its not that i chose not to wear black but for me black is a sexy and sultry colour, and to put it boldly im far to clumsy and silly to ever be sultry or sexy thats for sure :-)
