Shoots, Skiing, Sunshine and Shopping…
You know how this one goes. It's been a while, I haven't been around much, sorry it's been weeks since my last blog, etc etc. I'll spare you the usual empty apologies. The truth is I don't see the point in blogging for the sake of it, which is one reason why you don't see dozens of new posts here each month. But on top of that I've been away a bit recently, and also I'm trying desperately not to get home from work every day and instantly jump on my laptop - not only is it killing my eyes (wrinkles! I have wrinkles at 28!) but it's doing nothing for my social life either! However, a few things have happened that deserve a little catch-up, so read on for holiday gossip and the first time I've worn a white shirt since I left school...
In My Wardrobe: Lady V London bird print green sundress
I've written about a lot of beautiful dresses in my time, but I don't think any has received such a huge (and fast) response as the Lady V London dress that I put in my 50s sundresses feature earlier this week. My twitter feed and blog comments were full of people telling me they were either buying it or thinking of buying it, and by Friday I even had twitpics of happy customers thanking me for introducing them to the label. In the end, I couldn't resist ordering one myself, if only to report back on whether it really could be as good as it looks when it retails at only £30!
Ten Fab 40s / 50s inspired sundresses for Summer!
Watching the new Mad Men tonight, I felt a little bit let down at the lack of lovely frocks. Don't get me wrong, I love the 60s looks - Jane's amazing maxi and Trudy's killer swirly Pucci-esque number - but I miss the earlier episodes, with the wiggle dresses, fifties full skirts and Betty's amazing sundresses and shades. For me, it doesn't get better than the 40s and 50s when it comes to clothing, so I've put together a list of ten fab fifties-inspires Summer dresses for my fellow retro fans. So what if Sterling Cooper has moved on, it doesn't mean I have to. I'll be snapping up at least one of these dresses in the next few months...
