Adorable Annette!

I'm glad you all liked my Lady K Jeans as much as I did. Y'all should all go out and grab a pair, kissing goodbye to your ill fitting trouser blues!!

Lady K is fast becoming my highest rated rockabilly on-line shops - many of their dresses feature on my Christmas wish list. But enough of their swing and wiggle numbers, I am here to talk knits. Big knits save me throughout the winter days. I still insist on donning a summer dress, refusing to reach for the sensible option of dressing for the weather. BUT a thick knit can just be casually thrown over a cotton dress and VOILA! I no longer will freeze in the big wide world.

I must admit finding a big knit suitable for Vintage wearers can be frustration. Like finding a nice pair of authentic 1940s sandals in sizes bigger than a 4....but that girls is another matter. Getting the balance right between not being too modern or being too granny (yes there can be such thing) can be tricky. Even the most experienced Vintage shoppers struggle. 

I could breath a sigh of relief when I heard news of Miss Lady K's new knitwear. Her Annette Cardigan slots straight into your Vintage wardrobe without a hitch. I don't know about you, but I like my cardigans to be versatile. I need one that can be worn with trousers, dresses and skirts- the lot. And I am pleased to tell you that I have found just the thing. Let me introduce you to the new Annette cardigan from Lady K Loves.....

I can slip the red version over a plain off the shoulder top with my pedal pushers and wear open for a casual night out dancing. 

And I can don the navy varient, pair up with my sailor hat (which goes perfectly with the gold anchor buttons on the cardigans) and wear buttoned up for a cosy day browsing antique stalls.

The knits have a wonderful stretch to them, so you don't have to worry about adding plenty of layers underneath. My favourite part is the oversized collar. Perfect for pulling up over cold ears!!

Now you've been told, you best go and check out Lady K Loves girls, I warn you, your wish lists will be brimming over. Make sure these Annette Cardigans are right at the top!!

The new girl.

Finally, I have found her. She came at a price, and she needs some love, but the search is over.

Lady L Loves Lady K.

The word 'jeans' brings memories flooding back of me stood in a changing room, blubbing my poor teenage eyes out into my Mama's jumper. I dreaded jeans shopping, hating every minute and eventually having to abort mission after a whole days labour. They just didn't fit me. Or agree with my body shape. 

I've come a long way since then, learning what types of clothes accentuate my rather 'Vintage' body shape. But the J word still sends shivers running down my spine. Ten denim-less years later I decided to confront my fears and see if I could purchase a pair of jeans to fit me. I did my research and landed on Lady K Loves. Instantly I loved their 3/4 length jeans in their trouser section. I bit the bullet, I clicked 'purchase' and nervously I waited until they arrived......and.......VICTORY!! No more nightmares, thank you for taking away my fear Lady K!!

The Ass. The main problem area. Not with Lady K jeans!

    Love as always, Lucille xx.

Sunday Swirls.

A few Sunday mornings ago I was enlisted to create curls on girls for a Bridal Shoot to launch Rei-Bennett's new Wedding Packages. I was working with Rei herself and MUA, Ms Moo.

I had a lovely morning, talking about pizza, whilst I set to work on Miriam and Holly's long, long beautiful hair. I've never had so much to work with, there were swirls galore!

My favourite photograph of the shoot. Well done girls!

   Love as always, Lucille xx.

The Cherry on Top.

Along with many other things, I am totally obsessed with EVERYthing matching an outfit. My cherry outfit is no exception......such a perfect themed outfit for my birthday cake parade. And yes, I have cakes to match my dress!

   Love as always, Lucille x.
