Northern Soul Outfit..

      

Whilst I'm home I have to make the most of Northern Soul and Rockabilly events...

 

So when I had the chance to attend my local northern soul night on Wednesday in Birmingham I ceased the opportunity to wear my new high waisted check trousers...

  

River Island Check Trousers £15.00

As mentioned in my previous post I a totally in love with anything high waisted, but not only are these trousers flattering but so unbelievably comfy to dance in!

As ever I wore one of my polo necks with trousers, accompanied with some pearls...

Ask any girl pearls add sophistication and ooze class!

Kelly Noelle Check Trousers...

January means one thing apart from new years resolution, SALES...

 

Browsing through quite a few vintage websites online I came across these gorgeous tartan high waisted trousers from Collectif!

Kelly Noelle Check Trousers were a bargain at £20.00...

 

The trousers are tighter fitting than most vintage trousers that provides a modern take on the 1950s, I adore all things high waisted as they minimize the waist and accentuate womanly curves...

I accompanied the trousers with a red turtle neck jumper, which in my opinion is an essential winter piece that can be worn any where!

A Cheeky Selfie!

 

In my previous Christmas post I mentioned that I have always used heated rollers when curling my hair, but as I received some curling tongs for Christmas then I had to give them a go!

 

After learning the knack for pin curling (with plenty of arm ache!) I'm totally in love with this technique! I will be doing a post on it soon to share the hair love...

January Sales...

Its that time of year again! Sales...

 

Having your Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket, the January sales are the number on thing too hit; I browsed through a number of online retail companies but only managed to find some little numbers on Asos and River Island...

 

Grey Check High Waisted Wide Leg Trousers...

I've been after some more high waisted trousers for ages, I already have a couple of pairs of swing trousers but wanted some for everyday; whilst browsing on the River Island website I noticed these beauties...

 

Since being at university I've lost a terrific amount of weight, all I did was drink a ton of alcohol; best diet yet! I purchased these trousers in a size 10 with a regular leg for only £15.00!

Peplum Double Layered Bardot Dress...

What a little bargain this dress was!  From Asos at £12 reduced from £28

 

Its hard to tell but its a very pale duck egg blue dress, with double layered peplums to exaggerate the hips and minimize the waist; being very broad shouldered, this style of dress is perfect for my body shape...

White Leather Heeled Sandals...

You might have noticed in my other posts that I wear my white wedges quite frequently, unfortunately my beloved wedges have died an honest death... we can all appreciate that one pair of shoes that fit and look perfect and are impossible to replace!

 

However whilst shopping on Asos I also spotted this pair of heeled sandals, not identical to my wedges they are very similar in material and height. As im not a catwalk model and never will be! Heels aren't my best friend, a small to medium heel height is perfect too me and these fit the bracket perfectly...

 

From Asos at £17 reduced from £30!

                 

Brushing your troubles away...

I've always used a Mason Pearson medium sized B7 Boar bristled brush but recently splashed out on a Denman natural bristle brush with a nylon quill hair brush...

So far I'm absolutely loving it! It's not too sharp and doesn't pull out the shape of the curls but adds that volume and glossy texture and appearance, we vintage girls crave! 

T-Bar Delight...

     

I'm a massive lover of T-Bars so when I saw some for hardly nothing, I could only do one thing...

buy some!

These Molly T-Bars should have been £22 and I got them for £8!
