Pure and Unadulterated....

...outfit posts!!

The top image totally influenced by Nurse Jenny Lee' outfit worn to a jazz club in the last episode of Call the Midwife. I curled my hair up into a faux bob and added a plastic dog brooch to match the pooch sat on the chair next to me!

"For pity sake Jenny stop pulling your sweater down, people will think you've had some sort of accident"

"Trixie I never go out for an evening in slacks!"

  I know at some point this programme would have been referenced to on any self respected Vintage Lifestyle/Fashion blog, but how can we help it? Mid century fans can get their fashion fix, from Jenny in her cardigan & full skirt combinations or Trixies black femme fatale ensembles. All from the comfort of a Sunday night sat in pincurls.   

Polka dot 'slacks': Affleck's Palace, Manchester.

Camel Turtleneck: American Apparel.

Black chiffon scarf: BooBoo Kitty Couture.

The second outfit is inspired by the birth of my new colour obsession. And I mean obsession. I've replaced my whole kit bag with pink tint bowls, brushes, hairdryers, combs, clips, gowns and even my Lucille's Locks mobile has been transformed with bubblegum pink vinyl graphics, but that is another blogpost.

But any item of clothing that matches my pink flashes makes me squeal inside and are instantly purchased.

Pink fluffy jumper: H&M

Grey Fan skirt: Bettie Page clothing

Shoes: Keds

Calendar Girls

New Year, new calendar. That's usually how it works. Although I haven't actually had a calendar for god knows how long, 

But this year I have a very good reason to buy one. I have never been more excited by one before.

My yearly planner wasn't coming from any old shop, it was coming directly from a bunch of people I had worked hard with over one Sunday afternoon back in September. It was all shot in Sainsburys and everyone was fantastic. So of course, when hanging it in between Marilyn & her framed friends I did feel proud. 

I've selected a handful of my favourite hairstyles I created that morning. 

Miss February with plenty of Victory rolls & a Boo Boo Kitty Headscarf.

The whole team.

Miss May with a bumper faux bang.

Miss July with a glamorous set & Miss November with a curly 1920s faux bob.

Backstage shot. I was definitely in the 'zone' at this moment. Inbetween hairsprays, I was able to find out a little more about the First Steps Charity. They offer support to people of all ages with any type of eating difficulty or disorder and most of the models were volunteers from the Charity!

Miss Santa.

Of course you have to wear a red Christmas dress when decorating your Christmas tree. It's a new tradition I thought up. Good eh??

Inka wore a white bow, she's saving her Santa hat for closer to the day. Which I'm quite glad as she would have taken the attention off of me and my new Red Heartbreaker dress. I was going to go all out and cuff the sleeves with the same white fur as my headband, Mrs.Santa Claus stylee. But I got told to wear a brooch with it instead. So I did. A fur one....I like fur ok!!

Inka's favourite toy is finally seasonal! She carries this around with her all year, even if it is sunny outside.

Let's get back to the task in hand. 

Hope y'all are enjoying decorating your selves, trees and pets!!

Love as always, Lucille xx

Who dropped the Flowerbomb?

I had spent the last few days on the East Coast visiting my boyfriend and partaking in the usual seaside fish & chip activities. On my return I found Inka sat at my dressing table next to a recent competition win from my new favourite company. A bottle of "Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf". She was eager I thanked the company and told you a little about them. (And photographed her, obviously) She had her mean face on her and can be quite forceful at times.

"Open it! Open it!"

'LittleBig' are the people I need to thank for my fragrance win. An online company offering what every anything your makeup bag desires, all at and I quote, "big brands, little prices". All competitions, new items and latest news conveniently pop up on your facebook newsfeed once you've given 'em a like.

 Your make up bag need never be empty ever again. 

I entered one of their Facebook competitions, came up trumps and days later Inka was barking at the postman and his LittleBig parcel.

 Competitions are posted pretty frequently, I plan on entering them all - in my opinion, a girl's dressing table can never be too full. And if I don't win any of them, I'm spending all my Christmas money there!

Oh and if what your looking for isn't on their facebook page, why not check their Amazon shop?

All links are at the bottom of the post.

Look how pretty the bottle looks on my dressing table. 

To me a good bottle = good contents. And as soon as I spray, my theory proves me right.

C'mon you, let's get dressed for walkies.

Dog Days.

Inka is the perfect posing prop. She can make ANY photo into something you stop and look at. But for her hard work shooting for Call Me Lucille, she needs rewarding with her favourite place. Elvaston Castle. 

Who knew our walk would turn into a photo shoot itself? 

Inka's decision, not mine.

She just cannot help herself, I'm sure she thinks she is the Queen.

You can't see as I have cleverly cropped it out, but in the above shot Inka had her head in my handbag. 

Outfit details;

Cardigan; Vintage Fair

Dungarees; Tara Starlet

Wellies; Hunter Laced Ankle Boots in Maroon.

I have to refrain daily from squeezing the life out of her due to her high levels of cuteness.
