Lately I've been looking at ideas to give our home a bit of a makeover. I've always taken my inspiration from the 50s, 60s and 70s and was delighted to discover <a href="http://harleyandlola.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>Harley & Lola</b></a>.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Monochrome has been huge in the fashion industry lately and it's become a bit of a craze in the home too! I've always loved a monochrome floor. It's a great choice for tiles or lino for the kitchen and bathroom. This handmade rug is perfect for making a statement in your living room though, and without breaking the bank. The pattern is <i>quite</i> interesting, seemingly changing (from peace signs to flowers) depending on what angle you're looking at it from. Harley & Lola are selling these in 2 different sizes. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've always dreamed of owning an original Eames chair but they don't come cheap. Luckily there are some wonderful replicas out there and Harley & Lola have a great selection. I especially love this version in bright yellow. Perfect for adding a pop of colour and cheering up any dining area or work space. If yellow isn't to your liking it's also available in black, red and grey. The mixed mediums of plastic, wood and wire are part of it's integral ingenious design. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This simple retro side table is made from Mindi wood and has a unique Scandinavian style. I love how cool the burnt timber drawers look, giving off a gradient luster. Each draw has a different style knob adding to it's quirky style. It's basic shape is perfect for adding a bit of retro style to your home whilst adding additional storage. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've got a bit of an obsession with coats. Storing them is always a big issue in our household. This industrial style coat rack would look perfect in our porch. Made from good quality Mango wood (a highly sustainable replacement for teak) and black metal, with 4 decent size hooks. The bottom shelf would be ideal for housing baskets to store hats, shoes and scarves.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, this
Hoxton desk lamp really caught my eye and is, for me, the jewel in the crown. I've been looking for an antique-style angle poise lamp for my work space for a while and I love how
unusual this one is. Cleverly made of old recycled bike parts, these junked components have been given a new lease of life. I love how it's not obvious at first but,
after closer inspection, you begin to notice head lamps, cassettes and
chainrings. This is a really unique and unusual piece. I've seen other, similar,
lamps on Pinterest and Etsy but I have to say that this is genuinely the most stylish
and affordable I've seen. Competitors are pricing them at £350 and this
one is just <b>£155.99</b>!</div>

As the Starks of Winterfell are want of saying, winter is coming! Which can only mean one thing... No, not time to prepare for war with the Lannisters, but time to take extra skin care precautions! This year I have treated myself to a couple of things from Lookfantastic.com. If you haven't discovered this online beauty shop, <a href="http://www.lookfantastic.com/home.dept" target="_blank"><b>CHECK IT OUT NOW!</b> </a><br />
<br />
Lookfantastic have a great spectrum of affordable beauty products. The range is just immense. There are great customer reviews of most of the products, which helped me decide if I was buying the right product for my particular skin. It's not the first time I have treated myself from their website and definitely won't be the last. Delivery was super speedy too. Brilliant!<br />

My skin has been causing me despair with regular breakouts of acne and dry and oily skin (<i>urgh... why can't it be one or the other!)</i>. With this in mind, I decided to get a Magnitone Lucid. Basically, its a deep cleansing and exfoliation brush you use daily to give you a softer, smoother complexion (<i>yes please!</i>). The brush normally retails at £69.99 but I got it for only £35 on Lookfantastic.com . . . Bargino!<br />

My skin care regime has always been a bit hap hazard. Being in my (<i>*ahem*; early</i>) 30s I wanted a face wash that wasn't going to dry my skin out. This one from Clinique is fantastic. It's extremely light on the skin but still really efficient at removing make-up. It's not a particularly foamy wash and I think because of this it doesn't dry out your skin. However, because it doesn't lather very well, I wouldn't recommend it for using with the Magnitone Lucid. I've never really considered buying Clinique before as I always thought it would be out of my price range but was very pleasantly surprised that it only cost £11. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been looking for a new moisturizer for a while and I think I've <b>FINALLY</b> found it! Sukin is a well known Australian brand with a mantra that reads 'Skincare that doesn't cost the Earth'. It's very affordable at £8.10 for 125ml bottle. It feels very light, yet extremely absorbing. A little bit goes a long way with this so just a small amount is enough for your face and neck. This paraben free, natural mix of shea butter and aloe vera with rosehip, sesame and jojoba oils is ideal for sensitive skin. </div>

Every month Lookfantastic release a new beauty box containing at least 6 surprise items (worth £55). Luckily I got mine for free as Lookfantastic were offering a free box on all purchases over £50. You can buy these separately (£15) or sign up to a monthly subscription (£11.25). <i>Needless to say, I was just a little bit excited to see what I would get! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my mystery box I received . . .</div>
<ul>
<li>Travel size Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash</li>
<li>60ml tube of Tanworx Tan Maintainer</li>
<li>50ml bottle of Professional Sebastian Shampoo</li>
<li>50ml bottle of Professional Sebastian Conditioner </li>
<li>30ml bottle Phytokeratine - an intense leave-in repair mask for your hair</li>
<li>Sample of Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet</li>
<li>Sample of Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum</li>
<li>25ml tube of Codage Scrubbing Cream</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I received 8 items in this box and I haven't had the chance to try all of them yet. So far I have loved the Bliss face wash and Sebastian shampoo and conditioner. I think these boxes are such a great idea as it allows you to try things that you wouldn't normally buy. The packaging gives a real sense of quality too and your hit with an amazing aroma from the goodies within when you open the box!</div>

<br />This past week my routine has consisted of using the Clinique liquid
facial soap to remove any dirt and makeup, and then I've been using the
Bliss foaming face wash with the Magnitone Lucid, finishing off with
the Sukin moisturizer. My skin seems to be coping well with this new regime, and is looking brighter and firmer in result. Keep an eye out for my next beauty post, <i>The 7 day Magnitone Challenge</i>, where I will be showing the results of my new gadget! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would love to hear if you have any tips on how you cope with the colder months. Have <i>you</i> tried any of these products yet? Let me know in the comments below. </div>

There is a cool colouring craze for adults at the moment. I seem to be the last to know. <b>Why am I the last to know!? </b><br />
<br />
It all kicked off in <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/katiecouric/inside-the-adult-coloring-book-craze-by-robin-128189184208.html" target="_blank">2013</a> and has been gaining momentum since. A number of clubs, gatherings and even colouring parties at bars are popping up the world over. <br />
<br />
The trend has proven to be extremely therapeutic for people with busy lives and gives folks a chance to take time out and get lost in the colours and marks that they lay down before them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was my friend's birthday recently and she requested one as a pressie. Looking online I was <b>amazed</b> by how many there were out there. And not just the kiddie colouring books we all know and love!<br />
<br />
After much pondering and debate I went for <a href="http://www.bellykids.co.uk/books/thrill-murray/" target="_blank">Thrill Murray</a>, because why wouldn't you? Its Bill Murray. Completely dedicated to the truly wonderful and amazing actor, it contains 25 awesome illustrations from artists around the world including <a href="http://www.nicholasstevenson.com/" target="_blank">Nicholas Stevenson</a> and <a href="http://annekalange.com/HOME" target="_blank">Anneka Lange</a>.<br />
<br />
I wish I got one for myself now.<br />
<br />

I do like the story of <a href="http://www.merrydown.co.uk/" target="_blank">Merrydown Cider.</a> In 1946, 3 friends from Rutherfield in East Sussex borrowed a 300 year old apple press from a local farmer and turned a hobbie into a full time brewery. From humble beginnings in a garage, the company went on to huge success and in just 9 years were producing hundreds of thousands of gallons of scrumptious cider. 60 years later they are still going strong.<br />
<br />
This month Merrydown sent me a challenge. They sent 4
bottles of their yummy cider in a beautiful wicker picnic hamper along
with a £20 voucher to spend at Sainsburys. The challenge was to make a
chutney, using one of their ciders, as a delicious accompaniment to a traditional
Ploughmans lunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When it comes to chutney I usually make a red onion version but for this challenge I decided to go for broke and experiment a little. I'm obsessed with beetroot at the moment and so I immediately thought it would make a good combo with some orange and a good glug or three of cider. And was I right! It tastes delicious. You can find the recipe below...</div>

For our ploughmans I baked a whole ham in a honey & mustard glaze and served it with 2 types of hard cheese. In the Ye Olde olden days, it was traditional to use hard cheese as it was easy to wrap up and put in your bag and you didn't have to worry about it getting squished. The lady at the cheese counter in Sainsburys was incredibly lovely and helped me pick my two cheeses: Belton Farm Shropshire Red and Barbers Premier Moo Mature Cheddar. They were both very <i>extremely</i> tasty and paired marvelously with the chutney. </div>

Of course, any cider we didn't use for chutney making Mr D and I quite happily drunk. We do like cider in the summer months and Merrydown is surprisingly light compared to other brands we've tried. It was incredibly easy to drink (<i>responsibly - Mr D</i>). The none-more-tasty Blackcurrent Cider was just the right side of fruity/sweet and the Medium Cider, at a whopping 6%, packed a very velvety punch without <i>actually</i> slapping you in the face, unlike other 'premium strength' ciders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What's your favourite type of chutney and what do you have it with? Don't forget, if you try out the recipe let me know your thoughts. I think it would make a great Christmas gift. Fortunately I made plenty and the whole family can't wait to try it with other things. I can imagine it being quite tasty with duck. NOM NOM QUACK!</div>

<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
<br />
1kg raw beetroot peeled and diced<br />
3 onions<br />
2 cooking apples<br />
Zest and juice of 3 oranges<br />
2 tbsp white mustard seeds<br />
1 tbsp ground coriander<br />
1 tbsp ground cloves<br />
1 tbsp ground cinnamon<br />
500g sugar<br />
250ml white vinegar<br />
250ml Merrydown medium cider<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all prep all of your ingredients. I used a <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lurch-Spirali-10203-Vegetable-Spiralizer/dp/B002E19IB0" target="_blank">spiralizer</a> to cut my beetroot as I wanted thin slices and not huge chunks, then used a knife to chop it down further. You don't have to do this and can simply cut chunks or use a grater to whatever your personal preference is. One thing though; wear gloves. When peeling and chopping raw beetroot the juices can, and likely will, stain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once all your veg is prepared, put into a preserving pan or saucepan. You want your mixture to be simmering so bring the mixture to a gentle boil before reducing the heat slowly to a simmer. Keep it like this for 1 and a half to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. It will reduce to a thick jammy consistency. Yum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst your waiting for your chutney to be at the right consistency, prepare your jars. Do this by washing with warm soapy water and then place in a preheated oven for 10-15min to sterilise. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once your mixture is at the right consistency allow it to rest for 10min. Carefully spoon into your sterilised jars and seal whilst still hot. I managed to fill <a href="http://www.lakeland.co.uk/16227/3-Kilner-Preserving-Jars-half-Litre" target="_blank">3 x kilner jars </a>with my mixture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>This chutney can be enjoyed straight away but will be even better after a month. It will keep for up to 6 months if stored in a cool dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and eat within 2 months.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just wanted to share a little crochet project I just finished the other week. I made little Mo a bright pink poncho as she had outgrown her last one. I was given an old 70s pattern a little while ago and this is what inspired me to make this little poncho for Molly. Unfortunately I have a tendency to start a project, get distracted and don't touch it for awhile. So, on returning to finish the poncho I had forgotten about the pattern and had to make the rest up (way to not setting a good example on how to do things, yeah?). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm quite pleased with the results and most importantly Molly <i>loves</i> it! She's been eagerly watching me make it and even helped me pick the colours. Of course, every poncho for a little girl has to have pink in it! I think she will get a lot of wear out of it over the Summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Over the next week, I will try to put together a pattern for anyone who would like to make it. Send me a message if you're interested!</div>
<br />
Big love,<br />

Now that the warmer months have come upon us it's a perfect opportunity to put those winter coats into storage and start to wear spring jackets and knits. I got this 1970s suede cardigan from Beyond Retro recently and think it's one of my best buys so far this year. The suede panels down the front is incredibly soft and I love the cheerful mustard yellow. Its a great addition to wear with flares or a suede skirt, just perfect for the 70s trend at the moment.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can tell, I'm quite obsessed with the 70s at the moment, so there will be quite a few boho outfits coming up soon. Watch this space! Will you be embracing the 70s trend this Summer and what has been your favourite buy so far this year?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clarks recently invited Molly and I to have a look at their children's range. We've always been a fan of the brand and this is our go-to place when it comes to buying <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/c/kids-school-shoes" target="_blank">school shoes.</a> You know you will always get good quality and peace of mind that your children's tootsies are in good hands when they're wearing a pair of Clarks'.<br />
<br />
We did plan to get a pair of school shoes but Molly fell in love with
these <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/p/26101539" target="_blank">pink patent leather pumps</a>. I don't think we would of left the
shop without them, either that or a full blown tantrum! This highlights
the various different styles on offer at Clarks, all of which are
designed to last. I know other parents that spend much less on <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/c/kids-school-shoes" target="_blank">school shoes</a> and they generally don't last anywhere near as long, so I think
spending that little bit extra actually saves you more in the long run.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clarks have taken care of growing feet for over 170 years. With children spending over 1000 hours in school shoes before they grow out of them, it makes sense they should be wearing the best! It's always been a bit of a tradition in our family to go there but school shoes have changed a lot since I was a little girl. There's heaps more options on offer, from flashing lights when they walk to hidden compartments in the heel, inspiring the kids at playtime. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With expert sales assistants to hand, making sure you have the right fit is easy-peasy, totally stress free. Shoe sizes are checked using an '<a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/measure-and-fit/store" target="_blank">ipad fitting experience</a>' where the kids get to choose a character (Jack or Daisy) to interact with to help them with their fitting. Very different from when I was a kid! Molly's feet measured 12 1/2 F but still had plenty of room to grow if need be. That's another great thing about Clarks, they provide 1/2 and whole shoe sizes to make sure your child has the perfect fit!<br />
<br />
Do you remember wearing Clarks' to school?<br />
<br />
Big love, </div>

I just wanted to share a really easy crochet tutorial I recently discovered from <a href="http://www.nimidesign.com/" target="_blank">Nimi Design.</a> I've been looking for storage solutions and came across this tutorial on <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/jennieowl/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. It's incredibly easy to make and within 2 hours or less you'll have a crochet basket to store jewellery or any other knick knacks. Plus, it hardly cost me anything to make as I simply used some thick charcoal wool I had in my stash. I'm definitely going to make more in different colours and sizes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can find the <a href="https://vimeo.com/56849771" target="_blank">tutorial here</a>. Happy crocheting! </div>

<i>BODY FROCKS' </i>creative director and designer, Melanie Davis,
wanted to design dresses that made women feel great. Holly Wiloughby, Kim Lomax, Emma Bunton and Kimberly Walsh are all massive fans of the brand and it's all because Body Frocks have an 'inner secret'. A body-control inner slip helps to sculpt and smooth out lumps and bumps, allowing women to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. The slips are detachable and individually contoured and designed to complement the shape and cut of the outer dress. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Body Frocks' Spring/Summer 2015 collection is full of beautiful dresses in
sherbet colours and lace and filigree textures<i>.</i> I opted for versatility and chose a <a href="http://bodyfrock.co.uk/shop/current-collection/viena/" target="_blank">black jersey skirt</a> with a real leather panel down the front. I adore it's high waist and the longer length give a flattering and classic shape. Remember, ladies; choosing high waisted garments is
a great way to hide that muffin top! The quality of the garment was of a very high standard, made from good quality materials, making it a reasonable spend with it's £170 price tag. I accessorised with a pair of artisan earrings I picked up in Morocco, my trusty black pork-pie hat and added layering with a black crop top, sheer duster and faux-fur gillet. Perfect for a girls night out or a date with Mr. D! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So ditch those Bridget Jones pants girls as date night has just got a lot more sexier! Would you wear a body control dress? </div>
<br />
<br />
Big love,<br />

It's been 20 years since the late Alexander McQueen first grabbed our attention. His contribution to the fashion world is one that will never be forgotten! Not only was he Chief Director for Givenchy for 5 years but McQueen also successfully founded his own label and had four <i>British Designer of the Year</i> awards under his belt. It's been 4 years since his untimely death, so it seems only right we come out of mourning and celebrate the designers life. And to help us celebrate we have two wonderful exhibitions launching this month completely dedicated to his beautiful work!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This extremely special exhibition at <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/nick-waplingtonalexander-mcqueen-working-process" target="_blank">Tate Britain</a> shows a rare collaboration between Alexander McQueen and photographer, Nick Waplington. In 2009, Waplington recorded unique behind the scenes footage of Alexander McQueen's last A/W collection, <i>Horn of Plenty</i>, which concentrated on reusing fabrics and silhouettes from previous collections. Even the catwalk set was made from discarded segments from sets of his past shows. Waplington used old analogue cameras which allowed up-to 8 shots per roll. The usage of film adds a rawness to his images showing a side to the fashion world that people don't normally see.<br />
<br />
This show is also ticketed at £16 per adult and you can buy them <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/nick-waplingtonalexander-mcqueen-working-process" target="_blank">here</a> </div>

So which exhibition will you be going to see? The V&A is definitely at the top of my list! <i>Savage Beauty</i> was extremely popular in New York when it was shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2011, so definitely one not to be missed! Just remember to buy your tickets in advance so you don't miss out! </div>

<br />
Earlier on this year I decided I wanted to improve my hand sewing skills by dabbling in a bit of embroidery. Being inspired by all the embroidery hoop art I've seen on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jennieowl/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, I decided to make a love token for Mr D. Using some of my favourite <a href="http://www.blur.co.uk/" target="_blank">Blur</a> lyrics and a series of chain stitches and French knots.... I made this! Whaddya think? </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr D loves it! Whoop Whoop! And it's now hanging up proudly on our family photo wall. Such a lovely and simple thing to make somebody. I definitely want to make more in different sizes! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you tried making some embroidery hoop art? </div>
<br />

When Wife told me we had been asked to review a pair of wooden
headphones, I was a tad skeptical. Seriously, bonkers I thought. But
yes, <a href="http://woodbuds.com/" target="_blank">Woodbuds</a> are indeed really rather spiffing in-ear headphones made
out of responsibly sourced walnut, which is, believe it or not, wood.
Not only have the manufacturers pledged to plant a new tree with the
Woodland Trust for every 100 pairs of headphones they sell, they've also
joined the 1% For The Planet alliance, which encourages businesses
around the world to commit at least 1% of their profits to approved
environmental organisations. Not even the Green Party's Green
credentials stretch that far.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Available in a simple range of 6 colours, these little beauts pack a
delightful sonic punch. They come with a selection of very comfortable
ear-tips so you can find the right fit for your sound holes. These help
to isolate noise so that you can have your music nice and loud without
scowls from the elderly gentleman sat across from you on the bus.<br />
The very high quality flat cable means that you don't get the usual
tangled mess when you pull your headphones out of your pocket which,
let's face it, is always a plus. The only thing missing is a volume
control and hands free microphone, although you can still take calls
using your phones own mic.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are basically a banging little set of headphones. I have a fairly
eclectic music collection and these things really do not miss a single
frequency. I honestly didn't think that the sound quality would be this
good, especially at a very affordable £25 a pop, but they're just as
good as Senheisers and easily better than the standard Whites that came
with my iPhone. I think these will especially appeal to the Conscientious Consumer who, like me, secretly feels guilty every time
they recharge their phone.<br />
<br />
So there you have it. Wooden earphones. Not nearly as bonkers as i originally thought. Get yours at <a href="http://www.woodbuds.com/" target="_blank">www.woodbuds.com</a><br />
<br />
Do it now!</div>

On Sunday, a new exhibition will be launching at <a href="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1501" target="_blank">The Museum of Modern Art in</a> New York. The exhibition will be presenting 20 years worth of work from Icelandic
musician, <a href="http://bjork.com/" target="_blank">Björk Guðmundsdóttir</a>. Fans and
visitors will be greeted by sound and video installations of new and
old work, custom-made instruments used on Biophilia and music
videos from albums <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/debut/id632057329" target="_blank">'Debut</a>' to <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/biophilia-deluxe-edition/id632523500" target="_blank">'Biophilia'</a> will be screened in a specially designed cinema room, so
this is definitely not something to miss!</div>

The museum has had to make some big adjustments in preparation for the
exhibition. A whole new floor has been built to make sure that the
building can take the dirty, bassy notes in the commissioned video for
'Black Lake'. It will also be the first time the museum has showcased an
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bjork-biophilia/id434122935?mt=8" target="_blank">app</a>. Björk released an app back in 2011 to co-inside with her album,
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/biophilia-deluxe-edition/id632523500" target="_blank">Biophilia</a>. It took users onto a journey of her songs by being able to
rework the material. A visual album with interactive graphics. We
currently have it on our iPad and it's very cleverly done. It even has
David Attenbourgh narrating. We introduced Molly to Björk using this app
and not only did she really enjoy playing with sound but she's now an
ardent Björk fan too. </div>

Björk has worn some pretty amazing outfits over the past years for Award ceremonies, tours and music videos. Each incorporating the avant garde art that she was creating. Some of these, including the famous swan dress designed by <a href="http://www.elle.com/marjan-pejoski-runway/" target="_blank">Marjon Perjoski</a>, will also be showcased at the MOMA exhibition and it would be just amazing to look at the skill and work that has been put into these garments in such close detail.<br />

<br />
I remember the first time I heard Björk. I was listening to 'Venus as a
Boy' on the radio and fell in love with her ever-changing, quirky and
surprising voice. She sounded bonkers but had a wild, childlike demeanor
that you'd instantly warm to. Her music was nothing that you'd heard
before but was a great mixture of electronic, trip hop and classical
influences which was perfect for what was happening in the music scene
at the time in London. I love how Björk's home country has always been a
huge influence on her and affects the way she sings. She seems to be ever
evolving, changing just like the natural world around us. I simply can't wait to see what else she has up her sleeve. I only wish that I could hop across the ocean to see and experience this very special exhibition. <b> </b><br />

It's always good to have a few staple, basic tees to complement your wardrobe and one of my favourite places to go for these is American Apparel. Their basic range of jerseys and tees are great. They have very flattering cuts but I do find their prices can be a bit steep. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, here's a little secret I'm going to share with you all. But shhhhhh . . . you mustn't tell a <i>soul</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, I discovered an online shop that have started to stock American Apparel basics. Not only that but their prices are phenomenal. They're called <a href="http://buytshirtsonline.co.uk/">buytshirtsonline.co.uk</a> and also provide a printing service. So not only can you get cheap and good quality basics but also have a dabble in t-shirt printing too. Their delivery service was extremely quick and, once I had ordered, the top arrived promptly the very next day. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheZgFzisu5eFXgdDrGa_iYsjKJ3G5S-Ce4RRAfPgOFWF0HKWwEVdjHYxmTiAarv6Niw37zwTnX8D6KZoZ8n0DYWiy-24ZYCgPLSIAU2xDxB2hXsDIhuswRyzqaKhyphenhyphenYy-WKKXI-qlFZVeme/s1600/1top+3outfits+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheZgFzisu5eFXgdDrGa_iYsjKJ3G5S-Ce4RRAfPgOFWF0HKWwEVdjHYxmTiAarv6Niw37zwTnX8D6KZoZ8n0DYWiy-24ZYCgPLSIAU2xDxB2hXsDIhuswRyzqaKhyphenhyphenYy-WKKXI-qlFZVeme/s1600/1top+3outfits+Collage.jpg" height="296" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This crop top is £26 in the American Apparel stores but on <a href="http://buytshirtsonline.co.uk/">buytshirtsonline.co.uk</a> they're only £14.71 (incl p&p). That's saving you a whopping £11.29! That gets a big thumbs up from me! Plus, look at how many wonderful outfits I will get from just one top! <br />
<br />
Happy shopping!<br />

If you follow me on I<a href="https://instagram.com/hootingmissowl/" target="_blank">nstagram</a> you'll noticed I've been working on altering a dress for Brighton blogger, <a href="http://englishrosebud.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sarah Harris</a> (aka English Rose). Whilst Sarah was thrift shopping in Hove, she bought a dress for £4. She fell in love with the fun geometric print but wasn't too keen on the sleeves and the length of the dress. Knowing that I'm pretty handy with a sewing machine, she asked me if I could work some magic and turn it into her dream dress. Liking a challenge, I couldn't refuse! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Here's a pic of the dress beforehand. As you can see it's quite long and
by taking the hem up I was left with a lot of excess fabric. It
involved a lot of unpicking but it was worth it, as it gave me an extra
2" to play with. Then with a bit of rouching, sewing and hemming, I had
bell sleeves! It completely transformed the style from
being quite 90s into a beautiful swinging 60s dress. This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't be put off buying vintage
just because the shape or cut of the dress isn't for you. If you find a
pattern you love, the dress can always be altered.<br />

<br />
I'm so pleased with the results. It's very rewarding knowing I have given this dress a new lease of life and that Sarah is going to get <i>so</i> much pleasure from wearing it. The only problem is that it's given me the bell sleeves bug. I want to add bell sleeves to everything!<br />
<br />
So, when you're out shopping and you see something you like and it's not quite right, don't be too hasty putting it back. Have a closer look. It could be transformed into something wonderful! I do this a lot with my thrifty finds (you might remember me transforming a dress I found in Beyond Retro in this <a href="http://www.hootingmissowl.com/2014/01/what-i-wore-finding-perfect-dress.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>) and it's definitely worth asking yourself the following questions...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Can it be taken up? </b><i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Changing the length of a dress or trousers can give amazing results. Plus you might be able to use the excess fabric for something else</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. How much seam allowance is there?</b> <i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Be careful with thrift items as they don't always have the standard seam allowance that new garments have. Also if something is 2 sizes too small there won't be enough fabric to make it to the desired size.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. How much will it cost to alter? </b><i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Certain alterations can be quite expensive (especially if there's a lining). Taking up a hem or changing a zip can cost between £10-12. Whilst taking in sides or tapering trouser legs can cost between £15-£20 (these costs are for items without a lining)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4. Are there any holes that aren't on the seam? </b><i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Holes not on the seam are very difficult to cover up, unless you plan to use a patch or applique motif. This might not necessary suit the style of the garment though</i></div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope this post has inspired you to have a bit more fun with your thrift hunting. If you have any questions or anything you'd like to alter I would love to help. I charge cheap rates :) Simply send me your enquiry to <a href="mailto:vintageowl@me.com" target="_blank">vintageowl@me.com</a> for more info.</div>

I hope that you all had a wonderful half-term and, like
me, are now basking in the wonderful silence of a child free house! I had
a fun, busy week with Molly but was ready and eager to get back to
blogging this morning. I have some very exciting blog posts coming up...
I met up with Brighton blogger, <a href="http://englishrosebud.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sarah Harris</a>,
last week and got some great shots of her wearing THE dress I altered
for her. So be sure to return later in the week for my post on that!<br />
<br />
Have you heard of MatchNails? Let me introduce you . . . <br />

Just before half-term I was invited to visit new nail bar, <a href="http://www.matchnails.co.uk/" target="_blank">MatchNails</a>, situated in the heart of the Laines. I jumped at the chance to have a little me time and this little haven was the perfect place for pampering. On the way to my appointment I almost couldn't find the salon as it's tucked away from the hustle and bustle above the handbag and shoe boutique, <a href="http://www.match-bags.com/" target="_blank">MatchBags</a>. On arrival I was met by beautician, <a href="http://www.matchnails.co.uk/our-beauticians/" target="_blank">Verity</a>, who led me up to the nail salon. I was notably distracted on the way up by beautiful Italian leather handbags, on sale on the first and second floor (see pics below on a few of my fave). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On entering the treatment room I was instantly met by the tranquil,
light and airy atmosphere. There were two luxury massage chairs in front
of an inviting fireplace and a small nail bar for those wanting a
quick manicure. I decided to have a <a href="http://www.matchnails.co.uk/our-prices/" target="_blank">Basic OPI gel manicure</a>
which entailed nail shaping, cuticle care, hand massage and polish of
my choice. This was my first gel manicure so I was excited to find out if
it would really last 2-3 weeks with no chips. <br />
<br />
The colour I went for was 'OPI on Collins Ave'. I love the red-orange tones! My current favourite lipstick is <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl" target="_blank">Mac's Morang</a>e and I thought it would compliment my new nails nicely. The service was really good as well, Verity made me feel instantly relaxed and expertly shaped and buffed my nails in prep for my first coat of nail varnish. Once painted, they were cured under a UV lamp. This causes them to dry and harden within seconds. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's now been 2 weeks since I had my nails done and they've done pretty well considering the bashing they've been through. Baking, making, day trips and nights out - nothing has chipped away at this polish! Only one of the nails has a chip and you can see how much my nails have grown since the treatment too. I love the fact they still have their shine as well. Being a busy mother means I don't always find the time to paint my nails, especially when they only last
a day or two, so I don't do it as much as I would like. So, this is the perfect lazy girl manicure for me! I'm just hoping this isn't going to be very damaging to my nails especially as the only way to remove the polish is by having a nail soak.<br />
<br />
Have you had a gel manicure before?<br />
<br />
Big love,</div>

<br />
It's been 60 years since <a href="http://www.maryquant.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mary Quant</a> opened her first boutique, Bazaar, on Kings Road so I thought she would be the perfect choice for this weeks Idol Friday. She brought fun to fashion by bringing us the mini skirt and hot pants in the 1960s and her use of bold and colourful fabrics has been a big inspiration to me personally. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quant, 81 last week, started making clothes as a little girl, cutting up bedspreads or any other bits of fabric she could find at home. Eventually she managed to persuade her parents, probably bored of late night raids on the linen cupboard, to send her to <a href="http://www.gold.ac.uk/art/" target="_blank">Goldsmith's College of Art</a> in London. This is where she met and fell in love with her husband, Alexander Plunket Greene.<br />
<br />
When Greene inherited £5000 on his 21st birthday, they teamed up with fellow student and photographer, Archie McNair, and went into business together. In 1955 they rented Markham House - a three storey building with a restaurant, Alexanders, in the basement and a boutique on the first floor. And so the first Bazaar was born.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quant started out by purchasing stock for the shop but soon had the frustrating realization that she couldn't find the youthful styles that she was craving for. Never one to be defeated, she started making her own designs and hired a dressmaker to work through the day whilst Quant worked through the night, making sure she had made enough stock to sell in the shop the next day. From the late 1950's she had been experimenting with shorter hemlines, leading to the creation of the miniskirt in 1964. Quant herself would go on to admit that she didn't think it was solely her creation, more a reaction to the demand of the Kings Rd. girls that would visit the shop. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quant was one of the first designers to bring affordable fashion to the high-street. Before, to keep up with fashion trends, you would either have to visit a couture house or rip a page out of a magazine and take it to a dressmaker. It's easy to see why her simple and clean cut dresses were popular with the London girls of the 60's! The shorter hemlines allowed it's wearer to have more freedom to move and were designed with running for a bus in mind. Just two years after opening her first shop, she had a team of machinists working for her and was busy opening a second branch in swanky Knightsbridge, with a layout designed by Terence Conran. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1962, she entered the American market with J.C Penny and soon enough she was selling her clothes worldwide in over 150 shops. Quant's popular designs gave girls a chance to embrace a fun, affordable and youth defining look. Her bold colours and usage of fun materials was a breath of fresh air from the drab and boring fabrics left by years of war rationing.<br />
<br />
When discovering PVC, Quant put together a whole range called the 'Wet Collection', first shown in Paris, 1963. Working with this new fabric was a steep learning curve, taking her 2 years to work out how to effectively use the material and perfecting issues like bonding the sleeves successfully. It was fabulous for making raincoats and she would sew white PVC peter pan collars onto mini dresses giving them a futurist look.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
By the Seventies and Eighties, Quant was using her design skills to make other creations. She was the first designer to commercialise tights, as well as an early pioneer
for designer cosmetics. Her line of make-up boomed in Japan and was eventually
bought by a Japanese company in 2000. She had wonderful opportunities to put her unique style into a number of things such as the chic air hostess uniforms for Court Line Aviation in 1972. I wish uniforms looked like this today. I used to work as cabin crew years ago for Excel Airlines and my uniform was SO boring compared to this!<br />
<br />
She also collaborated with Mini Cooper, designing the interior of the Mini Quant in 1988. The car featured black and white striped seats with red trimming, along with red seat belts. The steering wheel also had her signature daisy logo in the center. Just 2000 of this very limited edition were released in total in the UK. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quant's determination and creativeness has been an enormous influence on me. I've always admired her ability to put her hand to new things and always make something singular, unique. She went to art college to study illustration, but became one of the biggest names in the fashion industry. Her eye for trends, persistence and dedication over the last 60 years has had a massive role in shaping the fashion world as it is today. From short hemlines to tiny cars, the girls done it all. <br />
<br />
Thank you Mary Quant :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Welcome to the first of a new weekly series; Idol Friday! This week we are looking at French fashion photographer, Guy Bourdin. Since his death in 1991, Bourdin has been hailed as one of the greatest fashion photographers of all time. He was never a natural self-promoter or preserver of his work and wanted it destroyed after his death. Fortunately for us, his art had many admirers and much was saved by private collectors. You can currently go and see the largest UK exhibition of his works at <a href="http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/visual-arts/guy-bourdin" target="_blank">Somerset House</a>. The exhibition features over 100 pieces, including unseen material found at his estate.<br />
<br />

He was an aspiring artist and his main medium at the time was to draw and paint. It wasn't until he saw Edward Weston's 'Pepper' image that something stirred in him, pushing him towards photography. Influenced by Surrealism, Bourdin became a great admirer of <a href="https://www.artsy.net/artist/man-ray" target="_blank">Man Ray</a> who was a huge inspiration. After several attempts to visit Ray at his home and each time being turned away by his wife, Bourdin finally managed to introduce himself to his idol and they soon became firm friends, helping each other with various exhibitions and projects.<br />
<br />
At the age of 27, Bourdin landed himself a job with Vogue Paris. Whilst there, he worked alongside <a href="http://www.helmutnewton.com/" target="_blank">Helmut Newton</a> and they'd often get competitive with how much sexuality they could push into their work and to the limits of what could be published in the magazine. Although there was rivalry, their work complimented each other beautifully. So much so, in fact, that if they hadn't been working on the same magazine it's likely their audience probably wouldn't have received them as well. One of Bourdin's major clients whilst at Vogue was shoe designer, <a href="http://www.charles-jourdan.com/en/" target="_blank">Charles Jourdan</a>. He worked on Jourdan's ad campaigns between 1967-1981. He had full creative control, which frightened the company a little but his narrative power exceeded the bounds of conventional photography advertising. Because of this his work was greatly anticipated by the media. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see from his images, Boudin liked to use hard acid colours and play on reflections. This was a contrast to Newton's work who was the complete opposite and loved working in black & white with S&M influences. Inspired by the memory of his Parisian mother, Bourdin would pick models with a deathly palour & their make-up had to have a doll-like quality. He was definitely a perfectionist and would often work for days on one piece until he felt he had created his vision. But once a piece was created to his liking it would very often get disposed of once published in a magazine. It was as if he preferred the process of perfecting a shot rather than the end result.<br />
<br />
Even today, at first glance, it's hard to tell that some of his photos are 40 - 50 years old.<br />
<br />
On the other side of the lens, Bourdin was often described as troubled and impish. It was observed that his wife, Sybil, who sadly committed suicide, was not allowed to leave their home and the many glamorous models who would work with him were often dismayed at the remoteness and squalid conditions that Bourdin lived and worked in. Many blame this on the abandonment he faced from his parents as a child. As with many revered artists, it seems that his talent stemmed from trauma. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It would be intriguing to know what Bourdin thought of his work now, being exhibited in such a large exhibition and hailed as one of the top fashion photographers of all time. He was definitely a pioneer and was the first to show the product as a secondary subject in an image and also the first to truly connect with the lower and middle classes. His images brought them a brighter future, parallel to a darker side, images with a cinematic quality, containing suspense and anxiety.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What do you think of Guy Bourdin's work? Have you been to see the exhibition yet?<br />
<br />
Big love,</div>

Had enough of leftover turkey and mince pies? Take a break of the Christmas festivities and go and see Big Eyes, which is being released in cinemas today. Not only is the film directed by Tim Burton but it also retells the story of American artist, Margaret Keane. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keane's artwork became incredibly popular in the 1960s when her large, sad eyed children were in big demand. Unfortunately at the time all the credit and money was going to Margaret's husband, Walter, who was portraying himself as the artist, when in fact all he was doing was signing his name at the bottom of the completed pieces. It wasn't until 1970 when Margaret announced that she was the true artist on a radio broadcast. Walter took Margaret to court and after a long trial it was finally proved that Margaret wasn't lying. </div>

This is an incredible story of a truly talented lady. I've always wanted to own a couple of Keane's pieces. Those large sad eyes bring back alot of memory for me. When I was growing up there was a stage when every doctors and dentist surgery had copies hanging in their waiting rooms. </div>

I can't wait to see if Burton has put his usual twist on it. Plus it will be very strange to watch a film of his that doesn't star Johnny Depp or his wife, Helena Bonham Carter. </div>

Merry Christmas everyone!! Hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday and managed to spend it with loved ones whilst noshing down some yummy festive food. I'm spending the Christmas period with Mr. Ds family in Dunstable and its just been wonderful. There were 11 of us in total sitting round the Christmas table and even though it was a squash and a squeeze the Christmas cheer was immense. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We're now recovering from yesterday's activities by having a well deserved pajama day and catching up on any Christmas specials we missed and I thought I would take the opportunity to quickly show you my Christmas outfit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decided not to wear a Christmas jumper this year and opted for some silly Christmas Tree glasses instead. Paired with a pretty velvet shift dress from <a href="http://www.laredoute.co.uk/loose-fit-dress-with-back-button-fastening/prod-324485014-758714.aspx" target="_blank">La Redoute</a> and some gold polka dot tights I found at H&M. Just perfect for party season! </div>

Mr. D's mum has a talent for decorating Christmas trees. Every year she changes the theme and the results are just dazzling. It always ends up looking like something you would see on display in a shop and this years theme was pastels. I love the delicate roses and ornaments she has chosen to complement the soft pink and silver hues. Isn't it pretty?</div>

So happy and grateful with all my pressies. Mr. D was very sneaky and bought me a beautiful 70s maxi dress and an amazing 70s duster. I had my eye on them for a while so was very pleased when I unwrapped them.</div>

Last week, I was invited to a Blogger's evening at <a href="http://www.homesense.com/" target="_blank" title="">HomeSense</a> in Brighton. We were treated to lots of yummy Christmassy nibbles & festive drinks whilst we purused their wonderful wares and did a spot of networking. We were then set loose in the store with a £10 gift voucher and some tags to mark which items we would want on our Christmas Wishlist. It was extremely fun and I spent a long time choosing as there was SO much to see with 3 floors of goodies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I eventually whittled my wishlist down to two items and chose this beautiful decorative Tagine, as I've always wanted to recreate yummy dishes I'd discovered whilst travelling around Morocco. And because you can never have too many cushions, I picked this extremely fluffy aubergine cushion! </div>

This was the first time I'd ever visited <a href="http://www.homesense.com/" target="_blank" title="">HomeSense</a> and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of branded quality homewares and gifts that were on offer. HomeSense is part of <a href="http://www.tkmaxx.com/" target="_blank" title="">TK Maxx</a> so has the same deals, offering up to 60% off the original retail price. Just too good to be ignored! I could've spent my £10 gift voucher on lots of things but instead I decided to be practical and resolve a storage problem that's been niggling me for some time. I walked away with 3 items: 2 beautiful hand-weaved baskets and a 2015 pink planner. Im so pleased with the baskets and were a bargain at £5.99 each! Just perfect as storage solutions in my workarea & bathroom! </div>

A big thank you to HomeSense for helping me resolve my storage problems (and for a fantastic evening at your new store). These baskets have helped lessen some of the chaos around me so I should hopefully be more productive and organised! Perfect way to start 2015! </div>

I recently discovered an awesome swimwear range based in the UK and
Molly has gone dotty for them. The founder, Maureen Dolan, saw that
there was a gap in the market to design and make stylish UV swimwear for little ones, and in 2013, <a href="http://sanddollarswim.com/" target="_blank">Sand Dollar Swim</a> was
born! I'm quite in love with the label and wish I could get a matching
swimsuit in my own size! Not only would I be wearing it to the beach, but how perfect would it be for festivals!?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was pleasantly surprised when Molly picked this <a href="http://sanddollarswim.com/product/girls-sparkling-swim-set-2/" target="_blank">swimsuit</a>. She is loopy for pink at the moment and usually the only reason why she picks something, but this swimsuit is a magnificent aqua green (HOORAH!) with a small touch of pink. The suit is a little large (age 5-6) on her, but come Summer I think it
will be perfect. Molly likes to spend a lot of time in
and out of the water when we spend days at the beach, so making sure sun lotion is topped up can be
difficult (especially when she's so engrossed in playing). It's peace of
mind knowing that she will be getting extra UV protection from her
swimsuit and the fabric is also breathable and fast drying, ensuring minimal discomfort. </div>

It was too much of a cold, wet day to go to the beach, so instead Molly wanted to dress up as a mermaid. It's one of the reasons she loves her new swimsuit. The aqua green sparkly fabric is just perfect for an aspiring mermaid and luckily I had some shimmery lime green fabric in my stash to use for a tail. Add lots of glitter and we had ourselves a little mermaid!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So not only is this a fabulous swimsuit for days at the pool or beach, it also provides plenty of inspiration and creativeness for our little ones during playtime :) That gets a big thumbs up from me! </div>

I've been lusting over <a href="http://www.orlakiely.com/uk/" target="_blank">Orla Kiely's</a> SS15 collection of late. Obviously trying to escape Winter by dreaming of Spring/Summer! The colours, textures and 1960s influences remind me of Wes Anderson's beautiful film, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1748122/" target="_blank">Moonrise Kingdom</a>. I love how Kiely's iconic flowers can be found somewhere in the prints or shoes. Not only that, the shoes shown are a peek into Kiely's third collaboration with <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/c/womens-orla-kiely?awc=2515_1416844120_36d32418a3ed454875650db203c1c337&cm_mmc=affiliatewindow-_-136348-_-deeplink-_-na" target="_blank">Clarks</a> (which will also be released in the Spring) and it's just wonderful! I've got my eye on several pairs ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On a recent visit to <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Lingerie/315,default,sc.html" target="_blank">House of Fraser</a> I was pleasantly surprised with their lingerie department. They have a great choice of designers to choose from including all time favourites: Agent Provocateur, Elle Macpherson, Calvin Klein and even Mary Portas & Kinky Knickers. Amongst these are also collections from lesser known designers like Japanese brand, Wacoal, and this is where I found this beautiful set.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

I've grown to love simplicity the older I've got and this basic design from Wacoal's <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/null+Lace+kiss+range+in+nude/Lacekissnuderange_Nude,default,pd.html" target="_blank">'B'temp'd Lace Kiss'</a> range falls into that category perfectly. The bralette and bikini style knickers are incredibly comfortable and tasteful. I also love the dreamy lace in it's pretty pastel hues, making it perfect for bridal underwear. The lace gives just enough stretch and is SO soft to the skin (mega points!!). The waistband on the knickers are just the right height to cover my caesarian scar, which has become another priority since I had Molly. The price was pretty light on the pocket too, costing <i>less</i> than £25!!!</div>

I highly recommend you try this style of bra. I used to wear padded and under wired bras all the time and now find they can be incredibly uncomfortable after long periods. The bralette feels surprisingly supportive and looks exquisite styled underneath sheer blouses. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What kind of underwear do you prefer: are you a bralette or padded kind of gal or do you prefer thongs to big pants? Love to hear your thoughts!</div>

Howdy peeps, and welcome to my first attempt at vlogging! Having made videos in the past, I was in two minds about dabbling in 'talkies' and the experience has definitely been a learning curve, with lots of cussing and tears when editing wasn't going my way. But I did it! WHOOP WHOOP!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this little tutorial I show you a quick and easy way to style retro bangs and also how to tie a headscarf in true Rosie the Riveter style. It's a perfect up-do when your having a bad hair day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

If you have any questions please comment below. </div>
