Lovely Frocktasia

I won this wonderful Saree Queen top from Frocktasia's giveaway recently.



If you haven't checked out her blog, you just must... it's fabulous eclectic inspiration. A fantastic combination of 80s-60s inspiration with a huge variety of styles. Many of the items are for sale in her shop too.

Random Week, Random Post

Hello folks! I'm afraid this weekend's post is, well, a bit random. Being half term, I've done lots and lots of little bits and pieces worthy of mentioning, but nothing quite substantial enough for a full post in its own right. I blame the time of year. There are a lot of pubs and shops open at this time of year (as opposed to, say, midnight on a bank holiday) and I end up wasting time.


I know people like my 'beer swigging bride' photos.
There are plenty more where this one came from...

Mystery Dress!

I have been having fun on EBay again. My latest purchases, whilst bargains, have posed me a couple of dilemmas; namely, (a) what to do when a dress is so far out of season it would be foolhardy to try to wear it out and (b) who the bleep was Lois Young?

Nunc bibendum volutpat terrere

*Now we drink spooky drinks.

His Lordship has been snooty and unreasonable about this post, dubbing it 'gimmicky', 'low-brow' and 'twaddle'. Like some alcoholic RSPCA advert he abhors the connection between any cocktail and a specific date, proposing that they are something to be celebrated every day. Anyway, he has refused to contribute to my 'novelty post' and is thus in the blog-house for now. So I am writing it. I don't know much about the finest ingredients, nor can I enlighten you with obscure anecdotes, I've just chosen some recipes for my top 5 Halloween cocktails, innit.

Rockin' Outfit Post

I'm a bit of an 80s rock-chick at heart. Yesterday, the really Autumnal weather hit and it gave me the opportunity to crack out a truly tasteless and inelegant t-shirt and jeans combo. Which rocked.

Me New Kitchen, Me Ole' China

Oh yes, it is here! I can cook again. Behold the wonder:


This is, obviously, just one side of it. The other is just cupboards - this is the business end of things. I have already made delicous noms such as paprika turkey and steak pie, we shall feast like kings until the novelty wears off!
