Cloak + Dagger
My New Years resolutions to myself were:
To stop smoking.
To seriously cut down on clothes shopping.
To stop buying shit celebrity gossip magazines.
I am ashamed to report, only one (and a bit) month in I have well and truly thrown the first two out of the window. My smoking ban lasted less than a week, and although I managed to resist sales shopping frenzy I caved in last week and had a little splurge. BUT IT ENDS NOW!
Here's a photo of my nice new cloak that I picked up on Saturday.

Headscarf from a vintage shop in Bristol. Cloak from Vintage Guru, Glasgow. Leggings from H&M. Shoes, Primarni originals.
Bygone Beauty
Just discovered a wonderful blog called Beauty is a Thing of the Past filled with countless magazine clippings from the 1930s and 1940s providing tips on styling your hair and creating the perfect make-up look. I'm obsessed with stuff like this, even if I don't always have the time to sit and painstakingly pin curl my whole head.
you got a pointy bra, 10-inch waist, long black stockings all over the place...
Also purchased today were the following pieces of lingerie...
...from good ol' Toppers. Topshop are really enjoying a moment for vintage-style bras and I'm certainly not complaining! I would, however, like to complain about the lack of a 'briefs' or 'knickers' page on their website. All they have to offer are 'thongs' (y'all better know how I hate thongs) or boxer shorts for girls (ditto). They DO sell knickers in store, so why the absence online? Means I don't get to post pics of the matching bottoms I got for these bras. But trust me, they're just as cute as their top halves.

Cruising online I found even more lovely bras and 'bralets' to put on my fantasy shopping list. If my boyfriend is reading, take this as less of a hint, more of an order!

Any Human Heart
Caught the first episode of this new tv series last night, the wardrobe certainly didn't disappoint.
Will post more pics when I find them. Googling 'Any Human Heart' just sends up loads of awful photos of actual hearts. Not so hot.

Summer, 70s style
I picked up this gorgeous 1970s dress in Retro, a vintage shop in the West End of Glasgow, for only £30.
Feeling inspired by the print, I decided to do my nails to match...
I used Stargazer 122 as the background, then some Barry M Deep Orange, then some black and white nail pens for the pattern bits.
