The best ever 'family BBQ' I've ever encountered happened yesterday. We roll up expecting a few family and friends, a cut off oil drum and lots of men in novelty aprons (as happens in my family) only to be faced with caterers... a huge marquee, crates of champagne, and enough prettily decorated tables to seat near on 100. However the most exciting part was my boyfriend's uncle's E Type. Check this beauty out. The acceleration was amazing - far more smooth and beautiful than any other car I've been in and the interior was immaculate. As are all his classic cars apparently, oh and there is the yacht too... another world I'm telling you, another world.
Vintage at Goodwood last year featured as many beautiful old cars as it did clothes and it will this year be held on the Southbank, London. This car has been invite as has Tilley's Vintage.

Vintage Family Pics
Home in Shropshire with my family I have been laughing over some old pictures ...
Pops being very much in the 70's
Mum modelling a friend's hair braiding .
I've really got into different hair up do's recently and this picture of mum has really inspired me. I have a beautiful nose chain being made for me at the moment that will be linked to a chain head piece... watch this space - I'll be working on the hair do that will go with it!

The Christmas Outfit!
A new purchase from Armstrong's Vintage is for me for a change rather than to sell on, and I'm stupidly excited about it.
With inspiration from the December 2010 issue of Vogue and their Star obsession together with the beautiful headpieces at www.niconi.co.uk (I am in love)

The hair colour is perfect and will be added into my own over the next 12 months!
Bare legs and winter warmth seem to have been a massive trend.. not sure this winter (and my purple plaster cast) will allow for this!

I am also getting loads of inspiration from The Sartorialist (as always!) http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com

This classic 50's shape dress is always flattering with gorgeous heels and statement jewellery to bring it all some excitement. Time to get that frock out again I think.
Now. How to make the crutches work with the gold outfit. Suggestions on a postcard please!
