New Shorts?-D-I-Y then!!

Thanks dear Pamcasso (squareoldsoul.blogspot.com) and Kate (makedostyle.blogspot.com). They have both drawn up lists of essential wardrobe basics and as I only have one other pair of short shorts, I have been inspired to accomplish number 21 on Pamcasso's list -denim shorts.

As I had in excess of ten pairs of jeans, I thought I would do a touch of D-I-Y (do it yourself) and make a pair of denim shorts from a pair of Levi's 501's that I didn't wear much.

New shorts made by moi!!

We are going to Eastbourne (a beach resort on the south coast of England) in August, so these will be ideal to wear on the beach-my days of wearing short shorts on the street are long gone-ha ha!! They will also do for wearing in the garden on hot days when we have the kids paddling pool out or when we have a barbeque. Thanks again for your style inspiration, Pamcasso!!

Boot Sale Sunday!!

Today I went to the boot sale at Noak Hill. The weather was verging on rain-again, so I dashed around rather quickly.

I found this super Topshop brown leather fringed bag for only £1-I know another bag again, but fringes are in this summer, plus its leather and a bargain!!

My outfit is an ecletic mix of old and new-I am wearing an original 60s cardigan-I love the style and colour-a perfect cover up for this unreliable weather we are having at the moment. My t shirt is vintage by Commes Des Garcons-it says Un, Deux Trois! My jeans are the newest item, rolled up with a rockabilly 50s vibe, I think!!

My Homage to the 80's- My Favourite Film, The Business

As a lot of you are paying homage to the 80s I thought I would join in and show you a clip from my one of my favourite films, The Business. It stars Georgina Chapman, who is now the other half of Marchesa-the designer duo currently dressing most of Hollywood in couture dresses.

The Business is based on sunshine and gangster dealings in Spain in the 80's and features some excellent music from this decade, too

The Business-Press Play Please!

Sex and the City Movie-Love, Love Love it!!!

I went and saw it this afternoon and I defy any true SATC fan to say they don't absolutely love it!! To say I loved it is an understatement! I'm not going to divulge any details, as I know some of you gals have yet to see it, but 2 things-it will not disappoint if you're a true fan and secondly, please take some tissues with you!!!!

A fabulous, fabulous film!!!!

Floral Top and Cut offs

Had a casual outlook regarding my outfit today-I wanted to pretty up my cut offs so I thought I would wear my favourite floral top with them. I love it because I can wear it partially open over vest tops or for a more risque look wear it buttoned up at the neck and then it has a keyhole opening at the front.
