Hello,

I'm back, don't know where I've been but I'm back and ready to get back on that blogwagon again!

Seeing as you all know (or if you didn't you will know now) we moved shops in Stamford (PE9 2BH) in October, however we also moved our office in aswell (I'm feeling very Lauren Conrad) therefore I have actually been working to earn my wage. The website is now being updated daily with us taking pictures and editing nearly everyday, it's called multi-tasking, I'm getting there.

Anywho got abit to excited yesterday as we changed the window of the shop into a glorious festive, eye catching landscape! Okay well not that far but it looks pretty good, take a peek for yourself...









Amazaballs!

Lil Red

Sunday is Roller Girl day, well for me anyway! My first session went reasonably well, I'm going to put that out there. I have sort of perfected the landing on your bum (which your not actually meant to do, but hey ho) You have to pick a cheek, mines the left one before you ask!

Here's me with a very excited face (#haveyoueverseenanyonemoreexcitedinyourlife? Didn't think so) Can't actually physically wait till Sunday, 4pm-6pm, Oakham Catmose Centre, check the Mean Valley Roller Derby Girls website for details.



ps: thanks Angela for my very excited face!

A little Bird told me...

A Robin to be precise, that winter was coming early this year, what a surprise there then (well not really as I do live in the glorious Great Britain where the weather has more mood swings than a person who has mood swings on a regular basis).

Not such bad news though as winter is my favourite time of year. Hot Lattes in rustic tea rooms, with my big Norwegian cardigan and fur lined boots!
This winter I'm loving the heritage, fetish, sequin textured look. It's a bit like that episode from 'Friends' when Joey dresses up in all of Chandlers clothes, who new that layering technique would catch on (obviously in a more sophisticated look, no offence Joey).

Sunflowers in Autumn

I know I'm a little early seeing as we have still got Halloween, Christmas, New Year, My Birthday but I thought I could totally talk about Rodarte's Spring/Summer 2012 collection... Well I have already seen selection boxes and even Easter eggs (Granted the Easter eggs were probably last years at 3 for 50p).

Even though I'm already getting that fresh red nose feeling when I wake up and look outside the window, with the leaves falling in the hundreds of burnt yellows, rust and dirt coloured parachutes, I can't help but have felt a little excitement when trying to find this winter new fur lined boots to long over and have the daydreams I have of snowy Wales.
However seeing in this months Vogue Rodartes collection of sunflower, embroidered, secret garden, floral smelling, whimsicalness, I again felt a little flurry of excitement!

Deja Vu when looking at the women dressed in meadow. From the 1920's embellishment to Tom Brigance 1952 Designed Halterneck, Emilio Pucci's psychedelic 1960's prints to Celia Birtwell's 1970's floral madness to Geoffrey Beene's 1980's evening wear!

Geniuses these designers all are and top marks for Rodarte! A collection that has brought the best out in almost every era of iconic fashion.

A/W @ That Indie Look

Orange the colour of my hair, i like orange, i like Autumn! I love the clothes we have to snuggle up into, heritage, colour, welsh wool.

It seems that this A/W has taken a very seasonal approach never have i seen before a collection of clothes that has has sleeves and fur hems attached to so quickly! Even though the 70's still rules the roost when coming into next season as it's basically the longer versions of what we wore in the summer, pussy bow blouses with sleeves and tasseled hems on capes. The 1960's also makes a comeback with mini dresses worn over turtle necks and fur coats over PVC fetish.

Here's a look at what That Indie Look can inspire to inspire you with your A/W outfits, from colour to 70's, 60's to tailoring! We have it sorted :)





 1..2..3..4

1. Red 1970s dress a must this winter, looks great with either tights and boots or with show stopping heels!
2. 1970's Black pleated dress a perfect outfit for the works Christmas do!
3. I love the 1950's Susan Drake tartan dress, i'm all up for the heritage this winter wear with contrasting tartan accessories.
4. Wear with cashmere turtle necks for that on the trend look!



1..2..3..4

1. Wonderful vintage Pringle tweed jacket either go all out with a tweed trousers or you could wear it with skinnies. 
2. I love this it's like a body warmer and cape all in one! What more could you want...
3. Polka dot's oh so in and oh so chic, this blouse is no exception.
4. 1970's Welsh wool skirt perfect with pussy bow blouses.
