Plus Size

Hey dont get a bee in ya bonnet if someone calls you plus size. The world regards anything over a 12 as plus size so thats a lot of ladies in the club there!

Whilst surfing the net I came cross this lovely blog that tries to enhance the coverage plus size vintage vixens and pinup pretties get.

I have to say I am loving her work...

Local Visitation Rights

Having moved further outside London I am determined to find my niche even out here in the sticks. Ok not quite that remote but hey...its not Central London.

On a recent trip to Wycombe I happened to pop into a shop that even from the outside was very impressive. There was no door mat, simply a Yen-esque tray of stones to step through into this opulently decorated shop. From golden busts to over filling drawers, the eyes were attracted and distracted similtanously. Kitsch Me Kwik was wonderful.

The baby of Juliet Hamilton (BA Hons PGCE no less), this lady's personality is eveident in all that she creates. Having designed/created costumes for the 80s legend Cyndi Lauper I instantly fell in love. Whilst a lot of the clothes have that crazy 80s vibe there is a much more vintage from the 30s onward nestled amongst it all.

The compacts ranged from the late 30s to the early 60s.
Impressively low priced too. Even the Chanel one.

Even her website shows just some of the vintage items she shows. I really liked the compacts. http://kitschmekwik.com/jewellery-20636-c-20636-1.html

Music for the moochers

I am a huge fan of rockabilly music but find my tastes have varied overtime and now I am more a collective fan...

Today I have listened to the following (in no particular order or importance)














And yes I am sure you will think there are some dud tracks in there...but in the immortal words of my ma: do one pie face!

God's Jukebox - Eternally Ours: ...from Mark #20 - As up to date as I care to be: "I've not been keeping my ear on the ball lately regarding new music. When I say lately, I probably mean since around 1981. I don't consid..."

Another fab choice of music from the man of good music Mark Lamarr!

High Street Finds

I am a stereotype. I am really am. By this I mean I love shopping. So each time I pop out I find myself taking photos of vintage inspired or simply garments I like from high street stores. I love my original vintage garments but its not always practical.

Fashion Fix

Every now and then I like to post pictures of myself on my twitter: http://twitter.com/BlahFashion. As some people have asked me where I get my outfits from I thought from time to time I would post some here occasionally.

Having recently tweeted about how I never find playsuits that fit me due to my 2 inches longer than standard torso (Thanks Lynn for measuring) I always end up with camel toe! Not sexy! Or comfortable. So imagine my surprise when I found one that is both vintage inspired, cheap and doesnt cut my vagina in half! WHOOP!

Playsuit is from Primark,
belt is from Mango,
shoes are an Ebay purchase
 bag is from  Hobo International.

Hair flower is from Miss Sweets Boutique,
faux hair bun is from Annabelles Wigs
pout is all my own with lashing of MAC Russian Red!

Can I also give a huge shout out to the company behind my faux hair bun. Annabelle's Wigs are my go-to people for hair pieces. Perfection in follicles or should I say in faux-licles? Go check them out!
