The charity shops of Orpington start to get a little lighter again...

After the success of Ginge Mary Portas in Orpington on the program  Mary Queen of charity shops , the prices up and down the local high street have shot right up and although I know its for charity, its not bloody designer love! We all still go to charity shops for a bargain! I  recently bought this fab 80's number  by Cockney Rebel down in Save the Children.  With a gorgeous thick waistband and tulip skirt design its so god damn flattering, although a little see-through, its a good job I have great knickers! It was being marked down and I got it for only a fiver! bloody fabulous. Thats the price tag I like to see!


I also bought this gorgeous sweet heart bodiced top and pinched at the waist red figure hugging dress. Retro red and spotty bring me back to my Minnie Mouse days this is one head turning number!

I Love these girls

Will the dip dye ever leave our eyes?

I still adore the dip dye. I mean one colour is for boring people in Investment banking right? Today I'm loving Charlotte Free's victory roll take on the quiff. I want.

Look at me I'm Sandra-Deee!



This week I have been having girlie sleep-overs and singing love songs to the tune of Grease in my new twinset babydoll nightie. Another charity shop bargain at only 4.50!






















Isn't it just frilly fabulous? I am in love! I've even road tested it with the opposite of sex and he seems to think its pretty hot too!
Admittedly its not the most comfy to sleep in but what the heck! Sometimes you have to foregoe comfort to look like a little innocent sex kitten. I reckon I'd fit right in with the grease sleepover! Where are my rollers?

Lip Rock Let Down

I had high hopes for Lip Rock Metallic lip foils.


I could not wait to prance aound blinding everyone I passed with my fabulous metallic lips..
I followed the instructions to a T. I dried my lips so they could have passed for the Sahara. I applied an even coat of the glue and waited for them to dry clear. I rubbed with all my heart, the foils onto my lips and pressed them with gusto.

Hardly surprising I was less than disapointed, I was pissed off with the result.
I know. You would be pissed off too! No metallic lips.... and with this attractive upshot of my nose, thank god no hanger ons either!

I'll come back tomorrow I thought wondering which credit card to use. Only today is tomorrow and it has only gone and sold out!!!!! Arggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Lesson learnt always act on impulse and just buy!!

HMV next big thingy booo...



Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. are a funny little duo. Pretty unspecific in genre these two wacky homosapians sound like they just stepped out of late 70's 80's pop. They were gigging at the HMV next big thing at Barfly on Sunday night, and managed to pull in a respectable crowd. They moved swiftly from indie, to pop and rock with ease 

These patriotic Yanks from Detroit (put your hands up) have more energy than Pete from Big bro on speed and whizz poppers. A great 101%. Coming out in short sleeved shirts and dicky bow ties, the duo looked just like 1960’s bell boys.   The hairy main vocalist can also do a good impression of jesus should this all fail. A brill catchy beattlesque indie tune Simple girls , (simple pleasures) was the bands first song, and to my ear, the best. Da da da. Teenage dream. Bound for big things, they are supporting Band of skulls tonight.

I want!

Look at these little lush babies. So needing the glasses in my life, and this powder green will put the spring in my step so much so I will be practically weightless.

a party amongst friends...


Last night I braved the minus temps all in the name of good music and new bands, seeing as the Brooklyn hipsters Friends were in town playing 2 venues I thought it would be rude not to go.. So off to XOYO I trotted with a little Greeno in tow. Admittedly I only know one of their songs, the only one that most of the crowd knew too: I'm his girl.  So without any expectations I walked into the wild. To begin with I thought that the lead singer Sam's face pulling was a little self- indulgent, but as I carried on I actually enjoyed Sam’s seduction of the crowd.  Sam ooze's sex appeal out of her top-knot and flirts amongst the London posse with a passion. The cute and dopey songs, were pretty easy to pretend that we knew them off by heart, inc slow jam (if you feel inclined to wind down now is the time). But it got a little ropey around the middle of the set with some dark shizz thrown in, testing our attention spans. A signature move, Sam is a fan of the ol’ shoulder facing, vogue look and she can't half hold her notes but it is the body language that does alot of the talking! Not shy of entering the crowd, the lead singer thrilled us with her presence, jumping in, dancing with us minxes, I even got a personal performance. God I wish I’d of had a pen after for a treasured autograph. The guitarist and backing vocalist Nikki looked the opposite to Sam: She looked like she’d rather be any where else except perform for us precious crowd who had risked death in the icy cold! The cover My Boo (Ghost town DJ's) is obvs an easy catchy number to please and bring back memories of yester year and dancing at your local Icon and Envy.  If you need help with your five a day this band is your game: It’s a recurring party trick of theirs to throw blueberries into faces in the crowd, with a chance of a free gig ticket if you caught them in your mouth. Only the standing Drummer actually managed to catch one. Unfair advantage?

Bargain booties yes please

I walked into office on the off chance that they had any size 8's left in the sale the other day. Now I say off chance cos anyone that has a size 7 or above will know how hard it is to find a bargain at sale time, pigs might fly so is thought, yet I reckon babe took flight for me this time and it was only my luck that the gorgeous red boots I wanted that were 120 full price and not even in stock when they were full price! Sitting there like red little vixens oh happy feet. And the best part of it is... They were 15 quid!! Happy feet indeed. Now I can afford a pair of new season neon shoes too hoo...

Just cruisin along...

I've been stuffing my face with many a fruit this January in a bid to keep me 'fuller for longer' and stick to this bloody diet of mine and become a tip top waif for the summer months. Sooooo I was pink with rasperry happiness when I feast my eyes upon the launch of the Versace cruise collection for H&M 
This is my fave.. such gorgeous detail and big gold shiney button.. I now to keep on eating the fruit to wear the fruit! What an organic cycle!

more winter festival gigs please...

I spend most of the year living for the summer months, when I can festival hop around the country spoilt with the choice of a million and one bands to jump around to. I always look forward to XFM's Winterwonderland, where I know I can grab a slice of this indie loving fun in one place, albeit under cover but at least its warm. This year we were spoilt with the gorgeous homosapians.. The Maccabees. LOVE. Kaiser chiefs headlined but I'd of prefered the other way around... The Horror's had to cancel but Ben Howard did an acoustic set and the Tribes were tip top...The Manics also did a surprise set.. yes we were spoilt! I felt like I was back in the muddy fields, flowers in my hair and covered in face paint. Only the reality kicks in when you have to step outside in the freeezing cold for a sneaky nicotine hit!
