Return of the silly French outfit!

Sorry for neglecting this blog lately! I've been busy with various bits and pieces, but now I'm going to get back on track- I'm happy to say I've started Lillian's Bombshell dress. I'm using this Craftsy course by Gertie of the New Blog For Better Sewing, and I can really reccommend it so far! If I had been working on this pattern on my own, I would have probably been very frustrated by now, but the classes are very straightforward and really good at anticipating fitting issues with this pattern (hint: the cups are tiny and there's a very good section on how to do an adjustment to get the right cup size) It feels really good to be sewing again, I can't wait to see how this will turn out!

Anyway enough ramble, this is meant to be an OOTD post!

 This is the exact same outfit as last time, so the only reasons I'm even posting these is 1. Everything is better with Perry, and 2. I think I had nicer hair in these!

I still have a lot of old photos I want to post about, so they should be coming up soon xx

French Fancy

Haha, here are our cheesy French stereotype outfits to go to Pinkles in Brighton! We spent the whole day with people thinking we were on some weird two-person hen do. Whatever, I like this type of look! A stripy jumper and beret combo will always get a thumbs up from me.

Mini Beret: Home made (Lillian is wearing one too) 
Jumper: Primark
Petticoat: A shop in Camden.
Tights: Anywhere
Shoes: Topshop

Oh la la!


Stepping out with my baby to Wimbledon the other day. It wasn't until I slung my trusty satchel over my shoulder that I realised I had come dressed like a French schoolgirl from a cartoon! The saddest thing is, this is not the first time I have dressed up like a big French stereotype either.


I spoiled myself with a black net ra-ra with black dots (it's so cute, I can't wait to wear it!) some Milliput for a project I'm obsessing over, and we swung by Hotel Chocolat for some treats. Lillian got me about 40 chocolates from there for Valentine's day- They were all gone within a few days despite my vow to limit myself to one every night after dinner. I tried!
