Looking through my recent catalogue I espied a number of woolly head scarves that got my attention. Three of which I’ve selected here for your perusal, from ‘Snuggles’ neck warmer, which promises that ‘the freezing cold won’t upset you anymore’ & instructs ‘just slip over your head & fasten the lovely fashionable buttons’ well you Read More
It’s that time of year, chocolates, roses & hearts ‘everywhere’, a time of ‘joy’ & anxiety…from one extreme to another, your’re either for it or against it, up or down, happy or very disappointed, it’s hard to totally ignore…(though I believe you can, by of course taking my ‘no nonsense’ approach that it doesn’t mean Read More
So back at the charity shop this weekend Stephanie’s new look nearly blasted me away with that in ‘your face owl hat!’ I was like whoa…this is a strong look & yet again bang on trend! I mean not anyone can wear this look its just ‘so runway’ to me…(the hat is also very ‘weather Read More
A recent exhibition I visited was Guy Bourdin Image Maker at Somerset House it was my birthday so I thought why not? A favourite fashion photographer of mine for a long time he was relatively ‘unheard of’ just ‘known’ by those ‘in the know’ but when you look at his work you can clearly see Read More
I may have found a new ‘friend’ for Stephanie…. on a recent excursion to some further a field Charity Shops I captured this mannequin featured in one of the shop windows. Her pink wig & fascinator drew me in…her black & white polka dot dress complimented the look nicely too, though where are the shoes? This detail Read More
This weekend there was a ‘special’ on Fashion One channel with (thank goodness) more up to date shows & features, so I had to tune in & catch up on all the latest trends….so instead of continuously showing A/W 14 shows, Belarus, Poland, ‘Blonds’ or Fashion Philosophy etc etc again & again, we were treated with Read More
A customisation of my ‘pin’ cushion gave me 2 options. Whether to ‘Stick a Pin on it’ (as usual) or ‘Pin it’? In my efforts to catch up with all the latest ‘online lingo’ I was curious about ‘Pin it’ & the site Pinterest (a brilliant wording I have to admit) so I mean ‘pin Read More
2015 – I mean to start as ‘I go on‘ with a fashion accessory ‘system’ spelling out not only my ‘fashion philosophy’ but also my general stance on the world at large & I’m ‘not messing about now‘! In the run up to Christmas I raided my local Primark when I saw these ‘Style Your Read More
Thought I’d give one of this season’s latest fashion trends ‘a go’, ripped jeans are back! (Oh no! I hear you wail – thought that was well over in the 80’s…remember Kylie & Sam Fox in them? – no, we don’t need to go there..) Well I suppose the current generation needs to ‘experience’ this Read More
Captured this fun image on a ‘street near me’, it caught my eye & certainly adds more visual interest than a blank shop face…which unfortunately has been a familiar sight up & down the country of recent times. No details of who did it – maybe a local artist? So why, these ‘gentile ladies’? Is Read More
So now it’s ‘back to basics’ found these 2 Like/Dislike stamps on a visit to a charity shop last weekend. I couldn’t resist at 50p for both! I’m not really of the ‘Facebook generation’ (surprise surprise..!?) So I thought I’d bring a whole new level to ‘likes & dislikes’ with my manual stamps. I have Read More
This is a shot of my current make-up bag…(I know you’re jealous already..) a bargain from recent times at the princely sum of 50p. It features a Cosmo cover of Charlie’s Angel’s legend Farah Fawcett with her trademark bright white smile and thick blonde luscious locks. No wonder she became a worldwide name back in Read More
Had an errand to run in Grays last Saturday, captured these ‘beauties’ in the indoor shopping centre. Not quite ready for a ‘long haired’ option yet (but you never know the occasion may arise..) they look a bit aloof though, rather ‘snooty’ some how and a bit glum, there is ‘an elegance yet sadness’ in Read More
Since Pitsea market has been reduced and I believe ‘destroyed’ from it’s former glory to its now ‘mini’ size, the cheap magazine & book stall that used to be there on a Saturday has gone….the market was reduced to make space for a Morrison’s car park, so Basildon council kindly obliged & also knock-downed the swimming pool Read More
