And It Felt Like A Kiss

Pin It Now!

I've always loved vintage clothing and jewellery and with the rise in popular TV series like Mad Men, Pan Am and Magic City popularising clothing from the 50's and 60's, more and more women are looking to add vintage pieces to their wardrobe. 

I got engaged a few months ago and knew straight away that I wanted a vintage ring - luckily himself agreed to get me one! I'm a lucky girl. There's something quite special about a ring with a history to it.

Another lady who loves all things vintage is the chef Stacie Stewart, a self confessed mod. First thing you notice about her is her huge beehive hair and then her fantastic wardrobe. She just looks so chic especially in that blue dress. I'm off now to throw out all my high street clothes and heading for the nearest thrift shop. 

Do you like vintage?

Track of the Day:   The Crystals - He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)

This was played at the end of an episode of Mad Men. Like how dark it is but with a good melody.

For about a year I thought there was something wrong with my computer screen at work until a colleague said I should probably get my eyes tested. But I was only in my early 30's? I couldn't possibly need glasses? Well, it turns out I had one eye shaped like a rugby ball and the other like a soccer ball so I got glasses. Since it was my first pair I got a pretty plain pair - small with thin frames. They are too small for my eyes and I am sick of looking at the top of the frame so I want to get a new pair. 

But...which colour to go for...tortoiseshell brown or plain black? Or should I go completely crazy and get a pair of these?

The problem with picking glasses is finding an opticians who will leave you alone long enough for you to try some on. I always find they end up handing me frames by Chanel, Tom Ford, Ray Ban and every overpriced designer in the shop. It's very frustrating. Funny enough though one of them did say black frames suited me best...I think I'm going to go for the black frames.
