Retro elegance

I curled my hair yesterday, with those bendy foam sticks. No products, just slightly damp hair after taking a bath and then I let the curls sit until the hair was dry. I loved how it turned out after taming it a little with a bristle brush. Having started to watch Mad men recently I was inspired to put on some tighter clothing (though not early 60s, definitely not my favourite period), so I chose to wear my wool pencil skirt, a blouse from H&M (which I would have liked to be less tight actually and cut more straight) and a cardi. I felt like a movie star from the 50s - when she's doing grocery shopping, not at a red carpet event ;)

14th century and pretty knickers

It is very satisfying when a friend calls out on facebook askingif anyone has any 14th century images of peopel in clothes and you can answer: 459 MB, where do I send them?
It's really a pain sending them though since our e-mail system is being troublesoem even with small portions at the time.

In other news I bought a pair of very pretty knickers today. And another pair which wasn't as pretty on as I hade hoped.
