Almost Vintage

On Thursday I had the day off so I was able to finally catch up with my friend, LBD, go for lunch and enjoy some of the rare sunshine that Manchester had to offer.

It was the perfect weather to pull out one of my summery vintage pieces. I say vintage, although this playsuit is more likely almost vintage. I bought this off eBay a while back and it’s actually C&A kids from the 90’s (according to the seller). I found it by accident in whilst searching through the women’s section and instantly feel in love with it’s gorgeous blue shade and cute, girly love heart print.

It was my Birthday on Monday and although I’ve turned another year older, it’s obviously not deterred me from wearing kids clothes. The funny thing is I often have troubled finding playsuits that fit, due to my height and then I buy one in a kids size and it fits perfectly. I guess I’ll never win.

What I wore: Playsuit – vintage/eBay, Sunglasses – Vintage Christian Dior, Hair bow and bag – Pearls & Lipstick (email contact@pearlsandlipstick.co.uk for purchase enquiries), Sandals – River Island.

The Floral Playsuit

As of late I’ve been super busy with work so yesterday it was nice to have an afternoon off and enjoy a long overdue lunch date with the Mother. I was shooting in the morning but with an early finish, it gave me plenty of time to meet up with the Mother and enjoy a lovely afternoon in the sun. We went to Avalanche Restaurant for lunch and wine and then spent the rest of the day sat outside bars drinking summery ciders and fruity cocktails, bliss.

I’d been in London again on the weekend and whilst I was down I did some shopping, picking up lots of summery outfits, which I can’t wait to wear now the sun is deciding to show it’s face! I also purchased this cute floral play suit from Forever 21. They have so many pretty summer pieces in at the moment. I love this playsuit as it’s loose fitted which makes it cool to wear on hot days and it’s floral print is ultra girlie. I do hope these sunny days continue but with the unpredictable British weather, I guess it’s best to just make the most of it whilst it’s here.

What I wore:
Play suite – Forever 21
Clutch bag – Pearlsandlipstick.co.uk
Shoes – H&M
Sunglasses – Vintage Christian Dior

Pearls & Lipstick update

Just a quick update here…

It’s currently a bit hectic at home as we’re due to move house this week but amongst all the craziness, yesterday I managed to find time to start getting product shots of some of the items that will be on sale on Pearlsandlipstick.co.uk. (Exciting!)

So I have been taking a few sneaky custom orders prior to the site going live, including this coin purse which I love (if I do say so myself):

Pearls & Lipstick

As I’ve previously mentioned I’m soon to be opening my website, Pearls & Lipstick, where I’ll be selling bags and accessories made by me. With each bag I make I plan on only making a limited number in each design, so people buying the bags can feel they have a unique product.

A few people have been asking when the site is due to be launched and so I’m putting it out there that I don’t have a set date as of yet but I plan to have it launched sometime in March. Really it’s all down to me and how much stock I get made between now and then! So I’ll keep sewing away as I have been doing to hopefully bring you all some fabulous products soon. (more…)
