How fantastic, I adore big hair and I love the 1960's (some of the best people were born then, don't you know?). As my hair looks atrocious from this morning's swim and being caught in the rain I used my Amy Winehouse wig as today's accessory. Kitty looks amazing, I wonder what my darling Helga, Queen of the big hair, has in store?

Kitty's Sixties theme was a perfect opportunity for me to show off the 1960's Tricel mini dress I found in a charity shop this morning for £4. It was hiding amongst a rack of overpriced high street tat and really rather nice I think.
The rather snazzy 1960's blue vinyl bag was another of this morning's purchases. The volunteer on the counter thought it was somewhat overpriced for a non-leather bag, but I was more than happy to hand over my £2.99 and skip out of the shop merrily.

Thanks for the challenge, Kitty, I've had such fun.
I'm off to raid my wardrobes for a suitably fabulous outfit for tomorrow's date with Jem at London Fashion Week. Hope I don't let her down, she always looks phenomenal.
Have a happy Friday, catch you lovelies later.
Very swinging 60's London! Happy Friday to you!

You look so authentically 60's - that beehive is amazing! Very Amy Winehouse. Lovely dress. I like that dainty print.
ReplyDeleteHave lots of fun at the London Fashion Weekend!
Wow! You look amazing, I love the wig! You are so lucky with your charity shops, I don't think I've ever found anything for less than a tenner in mine. And anything half decent is through the roof.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that you will look superb as normal tomorrow; have a great time! x

Bouffant is so YOU, daaahhling!

You look awesome Vix, awesome! You do look very Amy Winehouse but so much better. I love everything about the dress, the color, the print, the style! My heart is fluttering and I am about to start a chorus of DA DO RUN RUN!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with Jem and report back on London Fashion Week!

p.s loved this challenge
Your huuuge hair here makes up for the days when you gave up early, I think. :-b
ReplyDeleteLove the rosy pink pattern - it brightens a goomy, stressful day here! I'm coveting the dress (as I so often do covet your finds). Because I'm pretty conservative and don't have your nice limbs, I'd not hesitate to wear it with dark trousers and a little cardigan sweater. And I'd wish for that striking grey bag to complete the look.
I look forward to your London Fashion Week report!
Sizzling, Vix! Just when I was wondering how you got your hair up like this, I read it's a wig... Clever! Hope you have a great time in London with lots of incredible fashion finds. xxx
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteThat IS big! You are gorgeous in EVERYthing. This mini is quite "fetching"! Can't wait to hear about London Fashion Week. You'll rock the town!

Just when I think you can't possibly get any more gorgeous and fabulous, you prove me WRONG!! This hairstyle is amazing on you! I swear you could totally pull this look off every single day if you wanted. :)

ReplyDeleteThis whole look was meant to be. First you had to do a 60s do - which you nailed, then you found yummy 60s gear for a song. The dress's colours really suit you. Have a ball at LFW!
