Firstly, I’m just back home after another trek into London where I had a long session yesterday, May 16th, at the sublime Boys Will Be Girls, which is what this blog post will be all about – lots of lovely pictures and chats about the different looks we did (huge amount of gorgeous retro styles).… Continue reading [Fashion] Ye G.A.D.

I’ve been a tad serious lately, for a number of reasons, and it kinda snuck into the last couple of posts, which is really not why I started this blog. To be honest I started this blog so I could gush about retro fashions but that went out of the window pretty quickly, mostly due… Continue reading [Fashion] Something fluffy for a change…

Yeah, I’ve been remiss, sic, in writing stuff for the blog lately.

Well, I was in… Continue reading [Philosophy] ‘How not to be seen’, or failing to deal with the FEAR.

I was thinking of winding back on the Sarah time, not for any real reason not to do it, but because it is a stressful way of life, regardless of how much I let the inner girl gush about it. Real life is a drag, pardon the expression,… Continue reading [Fashion] A retro re-discovery with lots of Squeeeee.

I am climbing the walls. Not literally, of course, but figuratively, in an hourglass-figure-that-I-definitely-don’t-have kind of way. See, dear readers, it’s been a while since I rolled up the stockings, slipped the tootsies into a pair of patent heels, and wobbled my way into a frock. Just under four months to be exact. And now… Continue reading [Humour] Before the Storm (of Petticoats)
