Presents

Boys and Girls did you get everything you wished for? Well I did apart from another ring on my finger. The flowers are a gift to my self as was the Soap and Glory products.

I got a random present from my Aunt the Barbie, unfortuntly its not a welcomed item as I have had problems with previous and current tenants who are from that country, mainly forgetting that I dont need to be kept uptil the early hours by music and telephone calls back home. So I tempted to burn it and really the costume is quite dull considering the richness of their culture.

Boots Home Diary is quite good for the lady who wishes to be more organised and hopefully richer.

A peak inside the out of print book I wanted from Waterstones.

The silver star Earrings are from Silver Scene, a gift from my Aunt who's in business with the owner. The silver hooped are from my Honey.

I also got Hollywood Costume using my Amazon vouchers which is a nice book to have but not essential if you already have the first.

Christmas Comes Twice

I know its New Year but I havn't finished catching up in 2012! I did something I never did before I had a christmas with no family. In Novemeber me and my Partner celebrated our christmas, anticapting that work would get in the way of our celebrations. My other half lost his job so we celebrated christmas regardless. No turkey this year, lovely chicken and I worked my first Boxing Day in 12 years of working (time to change jobs).

Inspiration from Barbie the Ultimate Girl

I have two vintage barbie dolls, a Swirl and a Fashion Queen, before I transferred to real clothing I collected dolls clothes. So who better to be inspired by but a gal named Barbie.

Have a a fabulous and stylish Merry ChristmasU

Pretty for Christmas

Every christmas I buy something Vintage, but this year my budget is really £0, too much expenses and not enough coming in. Yes I have a few things I can use, instead but they need something else to improve the look. The allure of vintage is still strong but with my £25 budget Primark is the only viable option. I must admit I cant wait for the days when Primark and a discount store are the only places I can clothes shop.

I like the modern take on the blue dress and the black dress looks fine for £25, so I will be awaiting their arrival in store. Primark has previous done the 50s dress but they are always wrong, waist too long, skirt not full enough, waist too big, just hope they get these right, a good christmas is counting on it.
