Testing Vintage: Spoolies

April 9, 2021April 6, 2021Leave a comment

I always feel a bit silly whenever I try out something like a new curler or setting lotion because although I am a pinup, my hair skills are very limited. But I still love sharing what I know, my tests and how I find things to work for me. Today, we are continuing on that … Continue reading Testing Vintage: Spoolies

Testing Vintage: White Shoulders Powder

January 15, 2021January 6, 2021Leave a comment

I dream of the day where I have my own home with a private boudoir room which I can spend some time primping and pampering myself. In my head, I am wearing a long and luscious pink gown, fluffy mule slippers and I am powdering my self with something beautiful and luxurious. I was indulging … Continue reading Testing Vintage: White Shoulders Powder

Miss Gypsy Rose Review

January 8, 2021January 6, 2021Leave a comment

I don't always subscribe to the "new year, new me" mindset as I don't like the idea of becoming something new when I just want to work on a bit of self improvement. It feels like throwing out the baby with the bath water in way. This year, I really want to focus more on … Continue reading Miss Gypsy Rose Review

That’s a Wrap – The Diamond Bombshell

January 1, 2021January 3, 2021Leave a comment

Today is the first day of 2021 and I thought I'd kick it off with a look back at one of my favourite photoshoots from (I'm actually embarrassed by how long ago this was) way back in 2019. Yes, it's now 2021 and I'm only JUST sharing these images but honestly, with so much going … Continue reading That’s a Wrap – The Diamond Bombshell

Sometimes it's scary how well Google knows you and what you like to buy. At the end of last year I kept getting recommended this Acorn Rattan bag from @olliella and you bet ya bottom I loved it. Google knew I would want a bag designed for children for myself. Ah, well played Google, well played.
This weekend was all about recovering from my recent operation but it gave me time to start planning my next vintage ghibli sewing project.
When dressing in the vintage style, many of us feel the pressure to style ourselves in a way to suit. Red lips and curled hair become iconic for vintage styling but for people like me, styling my hair can be a bit of a challenge.
When I was a kid, I went through a pretty strong Hello Kitty phase. My entire desk was covered in every piece of Hello Kitty stationery I could get my hands on, much of which I still have today. The new collection from @erstwilder with @hellokitty made my nine year old self squeal with joy! Oh and of course @miss.vintage.orchid is also Hello Kitty obsessed!

When you watch one too many 80s films right before an Easter shoot. Bette Midler would be proud 💚
Be honest, how often do you wash your foam/sponge curlers? I try to wash mine at least once a month as I use multiple times a week. They can start to look a bit gross and sad if you don't keep them clean.
Have you ever procrastinated so hard that years go by and you still haven't done the thing you set out to do? Well, that happened to me; for over two and a half years I have wanted to create a mini-series on my blog (and now YouTube) where I take my favourite Studio Ghibli films and characters and turn them into a vintage version of themselves.
Self care is the best kind of care 💙
