Now, let's talk about me....I've been touched with the joyousness of hayfever this week, so the specs have been worn this week...
Now, you can't really tell from this picture, taken by a shaky handed friend (probably still drunk!) but these glasses are beautiful, they're purple perspex cats eye style with diamante across the top and I LOVE THEM!! I bought them from Opera Opera in Covent Garden some years ago, my prescription has changed somewhat over the years, so I got those lovely people at Specsavers to change the lenses - little tip for you there, if you love your glasses but your prescription has changed, don't buy new ones, just get new lenses!! I would love to wear these specs more often, but sometimes it's just not practical for me to wear them every day, so I have to stick to my pesky contact lenses!
So, enough of my woes, apart from the dreaded Hayfever I've had a pretty good week, I've helped a couple of adorable clients update their wardrobes and have created a magical outfit for another to wear for a wedding next month - will it be cold, warm, windy, sunny, raining , snowing????? Who know's, but whatever it is, my client will be dressed accordingly with pieces to add and remove from the outfit - yey!!!
Right, onto this weeks example outfit for all you beauties out there - the old faithful Little Black Dress. Every girl should have one as it's the best friend we all need when we just can't think of what to wear. Mine, as you will see, is a tight wiggle dress with sailor style detail on the sweetheart neckline, it comes just past my knee and the bodice is boned so holds all my wobbly bits in!! If you've been on my website (http://www.lucille-von-frock.co.uk/) you'll probably guess that it's my favourite dress, as that's the one I'm wearing on my profile shot - it's just so easy to wear, I've worn it again and again...
As you'll see, I've also teamed it with my old faithful Carvela platform heels with tassel detail on the back, not only do I love these shoes for aesthetic purposes, but they are just sooooo comfortable, I can literally walk miles in them! Finding a shoe like that doesn't happen very often, I just wish I'd bought a few more pairs!
So, I've got the hot dress and the killer heels, now onto the jewellery....I decided to go with pearls for this outfit to play against the cream/beige piping on the dress. Although I say pearls, they're not just you're bog standard twinset type, it's a beautiful choker from Vivienne Westwood (http://www.viviennewestwood.co.uk/) with diamante lovebirds in a cage with an arrow going through it, I think it's stunning and always get lots of compliments on it. I opted for a drop pearl earring to add to the vintage look, I can't remember where these were from but I seem to remember they only cost me a couple of pounds...
So, that's this weeks outfit for you, I hope you like it! Apologies for the awful layout on the floor again, I'm hoping to have delivery of a tailor's dummy this week to showcase the clothes better for next weeks blog!!
Also, I will be attending the Voix De Ville: Cabaret and Burlesque night at Proud Cabaret (http://www.proudcabaret.com/) on Friday evening so I will make sure to take photo's of the night's chosen outfit!!
Once again my lovelies, have a wonderful week and don't forget to get in touch if you want a touch of Lucille Von Frock glamour in your life!!
