She's Bad!!!

As I went to see Indiana Jones-a typical 'guys blockbuster', the only photo I'm showing of the film is of Cate Blanchett, playing a baddie and looking very 'haute' (couture) in this seasons trend of a jumpsuit-he he!!

I wonder why she chose Edna Mode as a style icon for her hairstyle?

"Isn't it obvious dahlings?"

.....................

Anyway the film is an absolute blast and I highly recommend any of you with husbands, boyfriends, brothers or sons to take them! I really enjoyed it-it was action packed and had excellent special effects-plus for all younger ladies out there, a bit of totty in the form of Shia LaBeouf-he has certainly blossomed into a fine looking young man, certainly from that geeky boy in Even Stevens (a programme which me and the boys still enjoy watching!).

When the film finished I could of just snuck out of one door into the next, where Sex and the City was showing-but I had my Robert with me-so off I trot tomorrow or Saturday again-

I really cannot wait to see this!!

Doing SJP the vintage way!

I was at my mums today having dinner and she said to me "You know Sarah Jessica Parker-I saw her wearing a dress on TV and I've got one nearly the same as that!!" I immediately demanded to see the said dress and out of the suitcase it came, with two others. My mum comes from Cape Town in South Africa and emigrated to England in 1961. In the late fifties her sister worked in a clothes factory and could have first pick of outfits so she was always coming home with things for her and my mum. Well, these are two of the dresses. As you can see, although mine is sleeveless, the style is near on identical-plus it fitted me!! Oh joy!!

Me in my mum's original 50's version-now mine-ha ha!!

A black wool jersey original 50's fitted dress-it fits like a glove-yippeee!!

Another dress needs a new zip and is a green floral sleeveless number with matching coat! I really had a result today, so I told my mum she doesn't need to buy me anything for my birthday now ha ha!!

Feet First!!

Today I went shopping for some sandals. I wore my new Adidas Superstars, as it was pouring with rain and I didn't want to ruin my other shoes or sandals or wear boots (reminds of winter!)

Adidas Superstar Trainers, J D Sports £55

I got these first-black leather sandals from Primark £15

And then these, from Matalan-Dark brown leather sandals, £18

I think these will both be ideal with summer and vintage dresses

My Favourite High Street Shops

Obviously I love thrifting the boot sales and charity shops, but I also like the high street too. My favourite high street shops are Zara, Mango, Topshop and River Island. Whilst browsing the internet, I was pleased to see that Mango have an online shop!! They deliver to a lot of places worldwide-definitely Europe (check their website for more details). Here are a pick of my favourite dresses. Also they have an outlet online, which offers items from previous seasons-the last dress is from the outlet and is reduced to only 15.95 euros-I'm seriously tempted-it's soo cute, isn't it!!
