Adore; Cyndi Lauper

I've been listening to a fair amount of the wonderful Cindy Lauper lately. She is a true icon of not just the 80's, but also of the great success female artists can achieve for themselves by breaking the mould & retaining their individuality... just my thoughts anyway.

I take a lot of inspiration from Cyndi's eclectic sense of style & often think about her zany outfits when I'm getting ready to leave the house for a night out.

Whilst born in 1953, she is still so freaking cute today!

Merry Christmas!

Good morning and a very Merry Christmas to everyone!


I'll be spending today with my wonderful boyfriend and lots of treasured friends. We've planned a barbeque and cocktails all over the place. Christmas is always a hectic time, trying to fit a million people and places into just 24 hours.


This post is a special collection of very old Disney Christmas Cards from the early 1950's. All images and relating captions were sourced from www.animationarchive.org who are avid supporters of the ASIFA-Hollywood-Animation-Archive, digitally archiving paper-copy animations.


Anyway... I hope you enjoy taking a gander at these old faithfuls as much as I did and that you have a wonderful Christmas day from whichever corner of the world you are reading from!

Summer pleasures in 1960

Entertaining is perhaps my favourite part of summer, though not everyone might have the time or inclination to dress herself and her lunch table with such elegant ease, in June 1960 bare arms made a larger hat almost an imperative (a small hat made one look ‘like a sightseer’). For their table, Hostesses were advised that pale linen and organdie had returned to favour, as well as uncontrived flowers and simple, classic crystal and china.

It's love.
