Perfect Pompadour...

So I'm back with another hair tutorial...       

        

This time around I thought I'd show you how to achieve a very easy day to day vintage inspired look that only takes minutes to do!

The pompadour refers to a hairstyle named after Madame de Pompadour who was a mistress to King Louis XV, the basic idea of the style is that the hair is swept back upwards away from the face and worn high above the forehead...

It was famously worn by the king of rock 'n' roll Elvis Presley but also modelled by vintage glamour girls such as Betty Grable, Deborah Kerr and Bette Davis...

Nan's Vintage Handbag and Purse...

If your anything like me then your grandmother is the ultimate woman...

 She has millions of stories of her youth, keeps little vintage treasures in her wardrobe and lets you borrow them!, teaches you all the do's and don'ts of vintage styling and generally just feeds you up! 

So when my grandmother showed me this little beauty I couldn't help but have an impromptu photo-shoot and share it!

Its a brown crocodile skin handbag with matching purse that my grandfather bought her in 1959...

The purse is the same crocodile skin as the bag, still in perfect condition and just the right size for a night out on the town...

Being the horded that my grandmother is she even still has the labels and price tag!

Rowing in Oxford...

What glorious weather we've been having these past few days! It being so beautiful me and my flat mates decided to go into the centre of Oxford and have a bash at rowing, it's situated on the River Cherwell at the Magdalen boat house...

The scenes on the river are even more beautiful in the sun, so I decided to catch it all on film for you and uploaded it onto my YouTube channel...

After so many months of thick winter clothes, it was only right to get out some shorts! 

I wore my Hell Bunny high waisted sailor shorts, with my wide collared pink and white striped shirt from Matalan...

The picture below is the result of my attempt to row... I was awful!
