Mitsouko, old style Shalimar, L'heure bleu are all nice Guerlain ones. Chergui by Serge Lutens. Ligea by Carthusia, parfums di Capri. Fracas by Robert Piquet is pretty good. I also like Chanel no. 5 and 19.
Yes, welcome Mai. I'm drooling over the purple flower shoes. So pretty. I have the rocket originals sandals in the green and they are brilliant. Surprisingly versatile. Their customer service is great too. I'm lucky as i run into them at a few weekenders i go to, so i get to try before i buy. I...
DPD - gorgeous dress! It looks so great on you. I adore the colours.
Miss G - Lovely buys as ever, i particularly like the cranberry dress, (cranberry and a bow, does it get any better?). The Paul Sachs dress is lovely too, i adore the sash belt and the neckline, so flattering.
I am currently...
I think any colour, apart from what shade the bride is wearing is fair game really. I have worn black to a few weddings. I think upstaging the bride by wearing her colour is the major faux pas. These days i think the majority of people are fairly relaxed about wedding attire, perhaps even a...
Tishkaminx - Love your new avatar by the way, you look very pretty. I have very sensitive skin, combination. I tried the DW and i loved it. But it broke me out like nobody's business. I do still use it for special occasions as i love the finish and obviously the staying power. I didn't find it...
I feel like a complete slattern now i've seen your lovely photos! You have given me the impetus to go and tidy up! Your dressing table is amazing and so organised.
I agree with all the comments posted so far. It's up to you which frock you choose to dress for the ocassion. Your co-worker obviously needs a saucer of milk...
Lina - I agree totally with Lily Powers. I refuse to pay the extortionate prices a lot of the dealers charge, just based on the fact an item is Bakelite, let alone a rare or unusual piece. I have been lucky in that i have managed to find a few bargain pieces, just by trawling boot fairs and...
You look gorgeous. I love your red accessories, so glam with the fur. Btw, i have been hacking pairs of tights this evening, as per your blog. I'm going to be working outside on my friends vintage stall tomorrow. So here's hoping!!
GI Jane - I haven't forgotten about asking the teddy lady about...
For the record, my great uncle Frank, was 6' 3" in his stockings. He was born in 1918. My brother who is also rather tall inherited his wardrobe. Lucky boy.
I do sympathise with you chaps on the clothing front tho'.
I meant stackers, not spacers, apologies. Actually your bracelet is the same as mine aside from the colour. In my book there is a picture of a lady wearing an armful of them, lo and behold your chocolate brown one is there too!
Thanks for the fakelite link. Very informative. I try to just buy...
Kamikat - Don't you love it when that happens!
I think this has been said before, but small children, babes in arms really, seem to find red lipstick fascinating. I have also had nice compliments from little girls. I tend to look reasonably colourful, plus what girl, big or small, doesn't like...
Same here. I wear glasses and contacts and i don't really think much about my makeup when wearing either. To be honest i don't really have time to give it much consideration. Just slap on that slap and go!
Investing in some great 50's specs with loads of business and rhinestones was one of my...
