Nice trip to Chester today, despite it being rather chilly. Managed to find a black skirt in the H&M sale and a pair of skinnies from Primark. Spent far too long in Zara pondering over whether to buy a speckled jumper reduced to £15 from £50, but finally decided against it (a decision I shall probably live to regret..). Anyway, there's more to life than clothes, or so I am told ;)

Midnight in Paris

dress - Marks and Spencer
pearls - vintage

Well, today was finally showtime so, I donned my finest 'detective' gear and crazily enough, managed to just about remember my lines.
Anyway, when I returned home, I was greeted with this wig I'd purchased from eBay for a charity day at school. Me and a couple of other lovely people have decided to go as silent movie stars hence the wig. We are yet to buy dresses, gloves, head dresses and black lipstick, but if you know any places that sell these items (cheaply) do inform me.
Whilst searching for 1920s inspiration, I was greeted with some wonderful images of 'Midnight in Paris' a film which I highly recommend by the way and thought I should share some.

Just some of my favourite lookbookers that I thought I should credit for providing exquisite inspiration

That's all for now folks!

the kooples

If you haven't already, I highly recommend you go and look at the kooples. Their collection is utterly beautiful and so simple which is what I enjoy most. There is a sale at the moment, although everything is still light years out of my price range, its still definitely worth a look for inspirational purposes (the look book is exquisite.) Anyway, that's all for now folks.

My trip outward has been postponed due to grim weather conditions and I for one am quite pleased. It has been a day where I was quite happy to sit in front of the fire for endless amounts of time, with a half finished english essay and a cup of sugary tea. It's a shame weekends, even when spent doing nothing, go by so quickly.
On another note, I have a size 8 red silk shirt that I am selling here, so do have a look!

Today has been spent rehearsing for a play I'm in next weekend, playing a detective (next stop: the 'Oscars')  which I still need to buy a trench coat for. If anyone has a spare, do let me know ;) Tomorrow, I believe I'm venturing out with a friend armed with a camera and let loose where all the ~~indie kids~~ go and take photos. Should be intriguing, and hopefully I can share the results.

My day has consisted of: a broken umbrella, a cow in a canal, sabotaged english essays and a very obscure illustration of a fajita.
