Sea of Love.

 We all need a trip to the sea. I go pretty often as that is where my Sailor boyfriend lives. ( He's not actually a Sailor). 

But this time it was different, as we had the keys to our very own Cottage by the Sea. We lived next to the fire, next to the sea and best of all, next to each other.

As it turned out, we did far more outdoor element braving activities than I had planned for. I had packed for posing next to the sea, not for hiking alongside it. Although I never dress like it, I love spending time outdoors in physical activities. I refused to give in to 'practical' and my Bettie Page dress & I conquered the 60mph Sheringham winds. My ass froze, my Keds gave me mega blisters but my faux bangs stayed in and I came out the otherside without resorting to the waterproof trousers and was rewarded Fish and Chips at the end of it all. 

Our Roles soon became established...

Man: Fire Starter & Photographer

Woman: Head Chef. Alas, no photo evidence!

Rock Climbing and Road Cycling.

Pulling the wool over my eyes.

Can you remember that top I have been waiting for to go with that skirt?

Well Christmas came and went in a flurry of wine guzzling during the day and Scrabble during the evenings, bringing me more than I was ever hoping for. 

Maybe Santa thought I had been working hard this year??!

Anyway I had to wait until lunchtime to unwrap my knitted gifts. Indeed my Grandma/Curator was more excited for me to unleash my magnificant mustard jumper than I was!

Take a look at what I have on my feet. I thought I could only dream of these boots. But much to my utter glee, my Mum bought me these for Christmas.

 A chunky 1940's heel in brown leather with a leopard fur trim?? I'm telling you, Miss L Fire has some sort of mind reading power. 

My little foxy fella from Tatty Devine got woken from his slumber deep inside my jewellery box. He's been in there pretty much since I got him last Christmas. 

Mustard on mustard, have you cottoned on I'm in love with the colour mustard?

Inka & I are glad to be welcoming in 2k13 with all you Call Me Lucille followers. We love hearing from y'all!!

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.

   Love as always, Lucille xx.
