Can I tempt you??

Take pity on me for I am a penniless gal with too many clothes......

Shop shop shop at my Etsy store where you will find beautiful clothes in need of a new home!

It pains me to do it, but things have gotten fairly desparate. I said I'd never sell this superb garden dress....

I'm trying to keep all my listed garments all fairly priced as possible. I have a list of big things to save up for this year, so it's time to bite the bullet and re-home some of the contents of my wardrobe.
Roll up!!
Rose Desire-Belle has already bagged herself a navy spotted wiggle dress, so get there before she snaps up more!!

The Village Bicycle.

Today I spent the morning cycling from house to house to offer my cutting services. Luckily enough I have my green Rayleigh, Marlene, to take me from place to place in style! Even though little Inka had her matching blue scarf on, I had to leave little Inka at home as it was straight to the pub afterwards to bake the pies that everyone in the village loves!! 

I've stayed snuggly all day with my blue embroided cardigan tightly tucked into a pair of VOH's new line of 1940's trousers. 

Nothing beats cycling an old bike and Marlene sure gets me noticed!!

   Love as always, Lucille xx.

Cardigan to the rescue!

Y'know when a dress just needs a certain somethin'?

This Vivien of Holloway summer dress has been hanging dormant in my wardrobe for too long. I just couldn't find anything to wear with the pink gingham. It wasn't until this beautiful blue lace cardigan arrived from Ebay to rescue her from a life stuck in my wardrobe. 

   Love as always Lucille xx

Heart wearin', heart lovin'.

Can you cats spot my new artwork?

Why yes, it's that old burlesque heart. The collaboration of two amazing artists. 

( Crisis Tattoo & Rogue Saint). 

I would show you more of it, but I wanna keep you cats guessin'....maybe soon I will show you a close up. I just love the way the little tassle pokes out of my shorts!

   Love as always, Lucille x

She couldn't help it...

 Always having been tempted by riki tiki prints, the sultary sweetness of hawaiian honeys, and of course cocktails by the pool, Lucille's heart skipped a beat when she saw this sarong dress. It was everything she'd ever dreamed of. And it was in sale.

Another repro by VOH. I'm trying to limit the number of repros I have, but who can blame a gal when it looks this good?! 

  Love as always, Lucille x

I'm sorry sarong.

I love my sarongs. They make me feel every bit a bombshell, and make me wiggle my bum.

When I came across this photograph of me on my birthday wearing my beloved golden dragon sarong from VOH I instantly felt very naughty. Sitting on a dirty dancefloor is not a way a girl should treat her dresses.

 From this day on, I will treat my sarongs with every bit of respect they deserve. You have my word fellow bloggers!

Last night a headscarf saved my life...

A floral summer.

Last summer we were taken over the river to a friends birthday party.

The party took place in a pretty boat house. Complete with it's own dancefloor, how handy!

I knew there would be dancing, so I went fully dressed in Vivien of Holloway. A yellow floral circle dress and pink petticoats.

Love as always, Lucille x.

At your service!

This is my outfit on this foggy friday. Today I am your local hairdresser/Vintage hair styler at your service ma'am! I'm off to cut husband & and wife Julie and Rob who I know from the pub I work at. I thougt I'd take Inka with me as she could play with their dog Gemma. Both of them escaped a haircut!

 I was asked a couple of months ago to style 18 or so people's hair for my darling friend Rachel's 1950's themed hen do and I throughly enjoyed it. I really can't wait for the days where I get to transform people's locks all day long!

1940's trousers: Vivien of Holloway.

Blue floral embroided cardigan: Nottingham Vintage fair.

Shoes: Office.

This is my hairdresser case. Everyone at college looks at it strangely but I adore it! I imagine a former hairdresser owned it before me in the late 50s.

You can't see, but inside my hair case is this photgraph. How top. A vintage version of Marge Simpson, no?

Anyway, I'm off to advertise my services!

Love as always, Lucille x.
