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.

 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!

Yesterday we went to a lovely park in Brighton called Queen's Park, which we never realised was so close to our place. Shame on us for not taking advantage of what beautiful Brighton has to offer! There were so many geese and other little creatures, we'll be going back there for a picnic as soon as possible and we'll make sure to blog about it!

We are also very excited for Monday to come as we have a sensational 'Dress Of The Week' in store for you, its tutti and slightly fruity. We have an inkling that you may enjoy this one...


Have a wonderful Friday night and try not to get up to too much mischief!


Alec & Margaux
