Dreams can come true!

All my life, yes even when I was a little squirt, I have dreamt of owning a pair of fruit shoes. I'm a huge fan of fruit and a huge fan of shoes- it makes total sense to me!

Girls, I cannot tell you the speed my finger navigated to the 'add to basket' button on Miss L Fire's website, these shoes appear in my dreams along with bakelite bangles, gold swimsuits, strawberry tarts and hanging with the 'Drapes' outta Crybaby!!

I just can't believe my luck, ohhh I'm getting shivers.

To show off my fruit feet I chose a plain(ish) dress which lets just the right amount of bullet bra to show through. I mean, if you can't be cheeky when wearing these shoes, when can you be?!

Shoes or dog, shoes or dog. Damn, I can't pick who is the cutest.

Sneaky Freaky Peeky.

On the walls, on shelves, in frames and trapped in glass. I love surrounding myself with pretty things!

A sneak peek into my little bubble.

A rick-rack late 50s shelf, still got some gaps for kitsch cats and original daschund ceramics!

Paintings on the left painted by my sweetheart, original pin up artwork and my favourite photograph of a couple dated 1941 on the right.

 Beautiful butterflies in their own glass domes.

Stealin' her 'Do.

I've been working on this hairstyle for a while, getting curls and volume in the right places. I've been recreating it from a photograph I lust over nearly daily. As I work with hair as my profession, I need my barnet looking the best she can and I ain't happy until it's damn perfect! But I never put my bristle brush and Elnette down until it was finished.....and it's all down to this marvellous lady with the killer 'do....

   Love as always, Lucille xx.

In her yellow bow....

...she's cuter than the Easter Bunny......and more stylish.
Hope y'all have had a super break!

   Love as always, Lucille xx.

Hair, a day in the life of.

1. A pretty simple style hair wise, all hair is smoothed in a bobble (you will need long hair to do this) and secured pretty much on the hairline. Tuck the ponytail underneath, smooth and pin. I was attending a Vintage evening so I adorned my bun with flowers, birds and butterflies!

2. Faux bob with Jedward style fringe (so my mum says). Inspired by Call the Midwife. An easy style, can hide your curls if they have started to drop, a perfect casual style to wear with my Freddies of Pinewood shirt!

3. Big faux bangs, the sides smoothed into two victory rolls at the side. Taken from this book. I have clipped the back bit with a barrette, but it can be left down also.

4.  A lovely rolled style taken from one of my favourite blogs; Bright Young Twins. 

So that's what my hair has been upto these past few days, what has yours been upto?

     Love as always, Lucille xx.
