Vintage Vixen

Hi Dolly Girls


Me again, catching up on some much needed style updates! i've not shared for so long before tonight i was practically spilling over with glamour!

Today i decided to bring out the plaid trousers and go all vintage on the South East...

My outfit was made up entirely with vintage finds, i usually mix and match but the Regal embroidery on the silk blouse and huntsman plaid trouser combo was too moorish to seperate...

My bag is THE statement piece of the outfit, and is even more beautiful due to the history within it.
It has been through the world wars as my Great Grandad's gas mask case and still has his initials drawn on the front, it may have made it through the war but no doubt with my luck it will disintegrate under my supervision.

Because of the classic styling of my outfit i kept my makeup young and fresh with a dewy skin thanks to Bobby Brown, MAC's Dolly Girl blush - which usually is too dark for my complexion but the berry lips balance it out, the Lipstick is MAC Rebel lipstick over Magenta lip liner and blotted for a 'bitten' look.

Ps, Yes the fringe is new too! i cut it in as my hairs been growing so long and slightly shaggy the roughness makes it not tooo Jessie J (I Hope!) Im not one for pinching someones trademark barnet!



Let me know your thoughts & And keep dressing up

Tame Your Kinky Bits :)

Hi Dolly Girls,


Just a little update of a rediscovered hair find, I bought this brush ages ago and never used as i cut all my beautiful hair off but now i have my luscious long (fake Shhh!) locks i have decided to give it another go.

Its a Charles Worthington hair styling brush, shaped like a set of straightening irons it straightens out those annoying kinky bits as you blow!

This is the results it had on my hair which is naturally quite full and straight whilst my extensions contrast by having a natural wave and are a little bit less full when quickly blow dried...

 Not a bad result really and hopefully this new not too time consuming method will keep my hair much healthier. And below is my cross-season outfit i worked as in-store its AW12 and outside its been very much summer!

Top: Urban Outfitters
Skirt: Band of Gypsies but bought in TK MAXX

Cafe Photoshoot

Hi Dolly Girls


Im so excited to post about my recent photo shoot, its been the first time i've had creative freedom (more or less) in quite some time. And i am really pleased with the results. The shoot was a collaboration with photographer Tom Keanan using Sarah Beevers Jewellery and our beautiful model Fillipa from Sapphire Models.

I did the styling and makeup for the shoot, i kept both very classic to keep the look timeless and in-keeping with the settings, i didn't want the images to be throw away within any of our portfolios and had to bear in mind all of our needs.

So here are the pics! 

I used a classic front wrap silk shirt from Mango, houndstooth pencil skirt from River Island. Jewellery all by Sarah Beevers and shoes are the models own.

Let me know your thoughts, and hopefully soon ill get a crazy brief to let loose on! 

Until next time,

Love Dolly x
