Good Hair Days

Hello, it's been a while! I'm such a terrible blogger sometimes.

Does anyone have those days when you're going somewhere really special & you want perfect hair? However it doesn't work it but if you're spending a day at home, annoyingly your hairstyle comes together perfectly. Here is just two examples from the past couple of weeks, where i have achieved perfect hair - either by mistake or with nowhere to go.

Here is one of my favorite hairstyles. I never wear my hair up much but this is such a neat and elegant hairstyle. It consists of four rolls, one each side of the head & two at the back. When my hair is at the right texture i can simply roll the hair underneath and clip.

Another example, this is how i style my hair most days and today it turned out quite perfectly! For this style i only used seven large rollers and rolled them in vertically.

I'm most grateful for social networking and blogs to show off such hairstyles!

Until next time have many great hair days, love Demi xxx

Norwich Fashion Week.

For months I had been so excited for Norwich Fashion Week, as I was given the wonderful opportunity to model for the Fabulous Miss K! 

The Old Hollywood Fashion show was the first peek at Fabulous Miss K's collection and oh my every single piece is beautiful! 

I managed to get a cheeky picture of me in the dress and I have also found a few lovely photo's, taken by photographers. All credit is listed underneath.

I have to thank the super lovely & beautiful Abi Gray for giving me the opportunity to model, you can find her blog here . I also thank the very multi talenetd Missy Vintage, who styled my hair so wonderfully. You can also find her here

This week

This week has consisted of rather chilly weather, watching movies and plenty of hot drinks! Here are a couple of photographs of my past week.

I have started to practice again with this slight 'updo' hair tucked underneath style which can be worn in different ways. Sometimes I can get this style perfect, I love the sleekness of this style.

 Some like it Hot - one of my all time favorite movies! This was my first Marilyn film that I ever watched and my love for her after this film just grew and grew. No matter how many times I have watched this film, I can never ever get bored of it. Full of love, comedy and drama.

 My youngest sister Sienna turned five! I have three younger sisters and so she is the little baby of us all, already she is eyeing up some of my dresses that she wants me to keep for her.

 Me and two of my lovely friends from work Charlie and Izzy on Saturday.

 Outfit from Saturday - All items are Vintage. The fur coat was passed to me from one of my Grandma's friends, it's from the 1930's . I simply adore it and everyone else seems to also. Underneath I was wearing a black and white pleated polka dot vintage dress, with vintage faux fur hat & vintage handbag. 

I'm very excited for next week, one of my sponsors are sending me my dress so I can't wait to show you all what it looks like! More outfit & hair posts will be up and coming!

My Wardrobe: Part 1

Each week I'm going to pick one of my favourite Vintage items to post on here. I'm personally always fascinated by other people's collections so I hope some of you enjoy mine.

This week is dedicated to my first 1940's dress that I owned.

Typically at first I was in love with the 1950s so I already had a few 1950's frocks but I find owning a 1940s piece totally different. Just the amount of history one dress can contain is wonderful..

I got this darling from Prim Vintage Fashion in Norwich, it's really one of my favourite shops. I absolutely love visiting the shop because the owners are so knowledgeable and helpful. Not also to mention that the pieces in their shop are divine. The reason I got this dress was to wear at a Pageant I entered at Twinwood Festival. I wanted to go for a authentic 1940s look and I found this dress perfect, I was convinced by the small details that makes the dress so classically beautiful!

Beautiful scalloping detail.

The dress is of course delicate but is in lovely condition .

Tea & Dresses

This past week I had a wonderful start by buying some beautiful dresses & enjoying the most divine Tea! On Monday with my darling friend Anne, we went on a trip to Norwich and discovered the most wonderful Vintage Tea Room called 'Biddy's Tea Room' situated in the Lanes of the City. The whole tea room is decorated in gorgeous vintage cutlery and other cute trinklets with music playing in the background..you really feel like you're in the 1940s. The menu has the most delicious looking cakes and every type of tea you could think of. Me and Anne decided to Lunch on the Afternoon Tea!

Afternoon Tea, containing: Finger Sandwiches, Crips with homemade coleslaw,  Scones with clotted cream & Jam. Plus a Pot of Tea. 

Delicious Pot of tea, with the most lovely vintage teacups.

Here is me in a dress from H&M. I really love them at the moment with the Lana Del Rey pieces. This dress was just £19.99 and i just love how it fits my figure.

Dress from Topshop £38. I could not resist this cutey.

Until next time,
