Up On Devil's Dyke

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen! First of all, we are very sorry we haven't posted in such a long time, we have been super busy with the Etsy shop and Alec has a lot of uni work on at the minute.

Today we have an outfit post for you! A little while ago, me and Alec decided to drive up to Devil's Dyke in West Sussex. It is such a beautiful place, we had a good walk around and it was SO cold, bear in mind I was wearing a pair of white summer shoes... They are amazing but I will definitely wait for warmer days to slip my feet back in them! Later on we had a lovely roast dinner and a couple of drinks in the only pub around, which happened to be serving Alec's favourite Ale : Bengal Lancer. (It is pretty tricky to come across, he was IN HEAVEN!) Then we were lucky enough to witness a stunning sunset and drove back home exhausted and satisfied!

I'm wearing:

 *Faux-Fur Brown Coat*

*1920s Evening Jacket*

*1950s tea dress (available to purchase here)*

*1970s Shoes*

Alec and his Bengal Lancer! 

We have an exciting post ready for you this week, keep your eyes peeled!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Gone Fishin'

Good Evening Ladles & Jellyspoons!!!

The sun now sets at around 4 o'clock in the evenings here in England, making it hard to fit everything into such a short day. We do try and get photographs sorted for Dress Of The Week and Thank Frock It's Friday but sometimes it is slightly difficult. Excuses Excuses I hear you say??? You are right, hence we have now come up with a genius way of being able to fit it all in. From the window of our little flat we have fashioned a fishing rod of sorts and every Monday and Friday after University or work, we cast out and reel the sun in slightly, giving us some precious time. Sorry to you Aussies! However, this does not make it acceptable to run onto private property and hurriedly take photographs for our readers. Ooooops! We got told off by the Head Mistress for being in her School. I did manage to charm her into letting us take a few photos, while Margaux sat blushing in the archway with a very cheeky smile on her chevy chase! And I thought being told off by teachers was behind me....

Anyway, here it is! It is a lovely 1950s Caramel Dress with Full Circle Skirt. Perfect for spinning as shown in the picture above. Margaux has become slightly obsessed with doing these little Gif animations so expect a lot more on here! According to the lady, the dress is extremely comfortable and warm. I wouldn't know as it's not my colour.


While our fishing rod was doing the business, we even managed to take a little trip into the countryside. There is this lovely little view point called Ditchling Beacon on the outskirts of Brighton, certainly worth a little visit.

Margaux's Outfit is :


✩ The Trusty Sheepskin Coat, extremely warm ✩


✩ Vintage 1960s Autumnal Coloured Paisley Print with Oversized Pointed Peter Pan Collar ✩


✩ Vintage 1970s Dark brown Suede Boots with fur lining, also warm... ✩


✩ Vintage Bag from an Emmaus in France ✩

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Behave,

Alec

 

   
Good Evening!!!


I wrapped Margaux up for this week's outfit, it was FREEEEZING here in England. I have work on the stall tomorrow and I am definitely going to have to wrap up warm, three pairs of socks I'm thinking. My very good friend Josh bought me a new Chelsea scarf for my birthday last week, Cheers Fella! Josh is partners in crime with a lovely lady called Kerry who writes a wonderful blog, you should definitely have a read!!! Here is the link below.

Yours Truly X

 Since we took these photo's about an hour ago, we have stayed on the sofa still in our coats, and it wasn't a good idea because now we are dreading taking them off! I've just turned the radiator on and put scarves over the window frames to stop the sea breeze slipping in. This boat we live in is awful draughty...


Margaux is wearing :


★  A brand new (purchased today) faux fur hat from Primark for a fiver! ★


★ The coat was worn by my mother in the 1970s when she was at Guildhall College of Music studying the violin ★


★ T - Shirt was my Dad's band 'The Lost Patrol' printed on the front. "High Action & Adventure" ★


★ The trousers are from the late 1940s or early 1950s and are turquoise, brown and black pinstriped and high waisted. The colours are soo vibrant!!! These will be available to purchase from our Etsy Shop in the next few days ★


★ Heels were a present from Margaux's lovely Mummy & the bag was found in a Bric a Brac shop in Brittany ★

  The pier looked sparkling tonight!

    

 And the sun set wasn't bad either! See if you can spot the Owl on the rooftop... 

Have A Great Night You Lot!

The Starlings Of Brighton Pier

For today's 'Dress Of The Week', we thought we would go and pay the starlings a little visit along the pier. It is only a stone's throw away, so we often walk down there. It is mesmerising to watch them dance and swoop, so trying to take a decent photograph of the dress and not the birds became quite an obstacle.

The dress we have chosen is a wonderful powder blue French 1940s dress with cap sleeves, fitted waist and full circle skirt. Hope you like it!!!

Have a lovely evening,

Alec & Margaux

This dress will be available to purchase from our Etsy shop as of the next few days!!!!
