I See London, I See France ...

After a week of rattling and peddling, I fancied a change.  
I decided the change would be Manic Panic's Ultra Violet laid over my existing Hot Hot Pink.
The darker, textured look feels rather nice.
We'll see about the drugs ... but your kindness is so incredibly infectious,  you will never, ever really know how you've carried me through each day.
Thank you.

1940s slip and bolero - Etsy Bath mat bag - gift from Vintage Bird Girl Granny beads - op shop Cat ears headband and rosary - retail Shoes - Dolls Kill sale This pic was taken last Friday after a doctor's appointment, the day after I changed my hair color.
A lovely lady wearing a purple hijab and brooches and using a purple phone obliged me by taking the photo.  My hair was the exact color of her veil and we were both really chuffed to meet one another.
1970s frock - gift from Mrs D of Hello the Mushroom Necklaces and earrings - op shops Tiara - borrowed from The Stylist
School holidays mean The Stylist is available for snapper duties.  I do love her pics, she has an eye for unusual angles and framing.
She's also the sweetest girl I've ever known.


 1930s slip and bedjacket - Etsy "FREEKY" necklace - Phussy Star earrings - gift from Tamera Green necklace and bangles - second hand Oh yeah could you just check out my flawless complexion here?  No editing, just a lovely new makeup I discovered: Rimmel's Wake Me Up, oh and half price at my discount chemist ... yippee!  Love a bargain.
The lippie is Lime Crime's Red Velvet.
I've grabbed my lucid moments by the short and curlies, by baking and sewing.
This t-shirt has always been a favourite, even though it is a rather weird shape for me.  I bought it a few years ago from an op shop for $4.
A wee while ago I spilled coffee down the front and Camden Town and Embankment have never looked the same.
I thought about turning it into a cushion cover, but quite honestly, after my experiences of extensive Tube travel on grotty pre-WWII rolling stock during the 1980s, I could think of nothing more amusing than planting one of my favorite graphics against my arse.
The t-shirt got the chop and I've been eeking out the precious print to make big pants.
Kentish Town has a wee crochet flower to disguise the coffee stain.
Dead-set the most comfortable knickers I have ever worn, they take less then half an hour to whip up and they haven't fallen apart in the wash.  Bonus.
Oh come on, I had to wear my knickers on the outside didn't I?
They're way to mental to hide away everyday.
