Sorry I've been away a while...

I am very sorry for the long absence...  I have no excuses. I got a new iPhone and have become hooked on Instagram and twitter! I've been disloyal to blogger!! 

I have now added it to my phone and intend to get back on track!! I haven't even been reading much so I look forward to that!! 

I've missed you blogosphere! I will treat you better!!

Some poor photography and some posing....

I do apologise now for my poor photography but I want to try and share more of my wonderful clothes and accessories with you.

I love my collection; I wear vintage/vintage styles everyday and favour 40's - 60's, and am a real rockabilly at heart!

I have some fab items as I have been collecting for years now and I will try to show you more.

I wear a brooch every day apart from boring cleaning days when  am in my slob gear!! lol! :) I love red lippy which I am not wearing in some of these pics as I put it on before I walk out the door and I took pics in the bedroom!

I love bright colours, lots of flowers and I don't really do subtle!!

I work alongside another Jo and they differentiate between us by referring to me as Retro Jo! :D

So here's some stuff from the last week;

 Casual outfit to go and do errands in town. My pin curls are hiding under that headscarf!

Pedal Pushers - vintage from charity shop/thrifted
Vest - Primark
Shoes - Shoe zone
Leopard Print Headscarf - vintage from eBay
Assorted bangles - vintage from various charity shops/thrift stores

This is one of my favourite brooches, a diamante double bass. Unfortunately the bling does not photograph well! This was a total bargain - £2 from a little antique store in Chepstow, Wales.

 Sunglasses - online but can't remember where from!

This is what I wore last Saturday night for my friends birthday meal.

Dress - Collectif

Belt - Primark

Shoes - New Look. They are really high! And I do love high shoes!! :D

(Minus red lippy)
Fascinator - 50p Primark sale!

Brooch - Also £2 from antique store in Chepstow! Its some type of coated metal!

 (need lippy again!!)

Another work outfit...

 After seeing Charlotte's post on dangle pins over at Tuppence Ha'penny I have been looking non stop on eBay. This is a modern one but I had to have it, being a very keen gardener!

 Shoes - New Look

Dress - Vintage from charity shop/thrift store.

I am currently wearing a 60's casual dress, my slippers, and my hair kinda resembles a birds nest! Its been a busy week and I am enjoying a lazy day!

Have a great weekend lovelies!!

Happy (Belated) Birthday to the King!

Happy Belated Birthday to the King (8th January). Sorry I didn't get chance to post yesterday.

I adore this man, a true legend!!

The call of the Double Bass...

I love Rockabilly - I was raised on Elvis.

A couple of weeks ago I went to see Imelda May - she was INCREDIBLE!! The voice, the band, the clothes *swoon* and boy can that girl rock. I could not stand still... there were a lot of people who did and stayed sitting down!!! I was stunned ... one strum of a double bass and my feet are tapping! Sod going to the gym, I was knackered after all my dancing!

I was also very disappointed that there were only a couple of others in their rockabilly finery :(

so it's nearly Friday, so to get in the mood...

here's a little modern rockabilly...

and here's a great oldie...

And here's one of my favourite songs....EVER!

Enjoy!! :)
