Its true I love autumn and winter, but spring and summer is my shoe time. I think I must have lived in warmer climes in a previous life, nearly all my shoes are spring/summer shoes to the point where...
Well this week has gone so fast already I have no idea where my blogging routine went, totally out of the window clearly! So to my blog title, what do I mean? Well Spring seems to have well and truly...

I dont know what its like where you are today but here its dull, raining and pretty goddamn miserable. I had no desire to go out and about today, and no real energy to do much but definitely wanted t...
Its been quite a week so far in this household, first I got the stomach bug from hell, now my OH is pretty sick. He rarely gets sick as hes on lifetime penicillin due to having had his spleen removed...
As you know Ive been blogging very regularly recently but yesterday I came down with the stomach bug from hell, I had the worst feverish night and today dont feel great so the blog will have to wait....
When I was clearing out my office at the beginning of the year I discovered lots of old mags that Id totally forgotten I owned. I love looking through old magazines, particularly American ones! One o...

Hollywood at Home A Family Album 1950-1965 is another book that Ive had forever and absolutely love. This is a gorgeous book of apparently candid shots, but we all know that this type of thing is usu...
I thought Id tackle the issue of matching in clothes, shoes, jewellery and handbags. As a vintage gal who loves the 40s and 50s era matching is just natural for me. Im not saying what is right or wro...
Whether we know why or not we always have certain styles we particularly are drawn too. I know I have a few vintage obsessions, and so I thought Id write about one of mine today. Linen dresses, usual...
This is a fabulous book that Ive had for years. Its called Life in Hollywood, 1936 - 1952 Peter Stackpole. Peter Stackpole was one of the four original Life photographers. I dont know much about him ...
