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!

Choose Life?

I'm in a philosophical mood today, i was yesterday too. I have stopped smoking for two days, i have began to wonder how others look at life & i'm reading about how a woman is perceived through the eyes of God. Don't quite know why this mood has came over me possibly something to do with the Missing Curtain being all dark and mysterious or could be the lack of nicotine?

The weather doesn't know if it's coming or going with sunshine today for the Stamford Burghley Horse Trials, well that's stole my custom for today, possibly?

Emma has got me all excited for the Roller Derby, even though growing in success in the UK it's BIG in America, so couldn't resist putting up these 1960's American Cheer leader jumpers. Not like that has anything to do with Roller Derby but it's the closest thing i have!

Enjoy the sunshine today!

Do You Want To Go To The Seaside?

Already been, thanks.

Went to Brighton with the laddies last weekend, i very much enjoyed the bearded men in converse, the 8am beach walk & Seagulls attacking my face.

We stayed at Grapevine Hostel and had lovely full English at 24hr buddies underneath, how convenient! 

'I'm Fine'

'Do you know what Fine means?'

Freaked Out 

Insecure

Neurotic

Emotional

'Yeah unfortunately'

Oh the things i learn at work. But how could i forget that quote from The Italian Job!

I't be a sunny day in Stamford today, i'm wearing a dress, with tights of course as i am scarcely translucent. Many a wondering eye for the yellow polka dot dress draping from the mannequin, and the Egyptian bags hanging on there pegs. Today looks set for a good day however i have just wrote that so it won't happen then again i thought of it first, 'and nothing survives being thought of' does it Oscar Wilde!

Tomorrow i set for Blackpool, maybe Brighton or even Bournemouth, i will see if i can get any of those 'arty' pictures of the weekend on here.

Happy Birthday Hannah Ward

Super 7

1. 1970's sheer is oh so in, this is perfect as it covers up but still shows a little pink!

2. Golden tones, (well tell me when golden toned highlights aren't in) now you can show them off even more with that added st tropez tan (ugh). But don't worry pale people like me (albino) instead of all over we can accessorize and still be bang on!

 3. I like 3 it can be used in many ways a dress or a tunic, yes a tunic very in next season didn't you know. Wear over trousers though no jeans please we're doing chic not 90's.

4. Emerald. Well as you may have guessed i couldn't find an 'emerald' so i have used a tone of green. Looks great in either 60's or 40's looking dresses (another  hot trend).









5. Go full on 60's with polar neck knits and pale ghostly tights, a must next season.









 6. Polka dots. This 1970's maxi dress is spot on (ha)! Maxi is still on through the autumn so this ticks both boxes in the fashion world.









 7. Sequins shimmer, evening dress in the making, wear with killer court shoes and snakeskin clutch to get that guy in the office head over heels.

Thats why its my super 7 inspired from this years a/w collections, courtesy of That Indie Look!
