Introducing...Lucille Von Frock!!!

Well, I've only gone and done it - I've started a blog!! Much to my fear & tredpidation, it's not as hard as I imagined! Although, I can guarantee, the first few month's will be VERY basic I can assure you,  but my lovelies, I will do my best to beautify it along the way...

So, what do I want to share with you...? Firstly, I LOVE LOVE LOVE all things fashion, whether it's trousers, skirts, blouses, jumpers, dresses, headwear or jewellery - I LOVE IT!

Now, you may be aware that my personal preference is to nod towards the 40's and 50's...headscarf? Yes please! Red lipstick? Yes please! Old school glamour? Yes please! So whether it's the retro vibe you need in your life or up to the date fashion, I'm the gal pal for you and will endeavour to bring you a taste of what's floating my boat in the upcoming months...

Now, onto business...I've taken the liberty of taking a few photo's of my current favourite outfits - a daytime and an evening one...

The first is a newly bought....erm, I would call it a jumpsuit, but that sounds a bit casual, so I'll call it a glamoursuit! I bought it from French Connection a few weeks ago in the sale - BARGAIN ALERT!! It was originally £175 but was reduced to £35 (I swear I heard angels singing when I bought this!), the bottom half is wide leg palazzo style pants and the top is a backless halter neck - scrumptious! As you will see from the photo, it's black and is made of a lovely silky fabric. Teamed with my beautiful red flower heels and a dinky cute red clutch this look screams sophistication with a sprinkling of masculinity from the 20's & 30's...

This outfit I intend to wear the next time I attend the Wam Bam Club (http://www.wambamclub.com/) to see the lovely Lady Alex and DJ Earl of Ealing. This is somewhere myself and Mr Von Frock like to frequent quite often to enjoy the delights of various burlesque performers & cabaret acts - I can highly recommend it! Beforehand though, I have to master the art of marcel waves...that should be fun!

Now, on with proceedings....the second outfit I have chosen to share is a daytime outfit, not necessarily for popping to Tesco's,  maybe for an afternoon tea somewhere in glorious London town? Obviously, at this time of year, warmth is high on the list of priorities, that's why I have opted for a fine knit polo neck jumper, however I must point out, for all of those amply chested ladies out there, the polo neck jumper is something you must avoid at all costs, no matter how chic the whole ensemble may be, polo neck's are the enemy!!  Anyway, onto the rest of the outfit, on the bottom it would be a full flared heavy skirt in black and taupe with a wide elasticated waist cinching belt to create the perfect silhouette. Underneath the skirt I like to wear a black petticoat to give it that extra oomph, but obviously that is personal choice. In the shoe department I have opted for a plain platform court shoe, with the fussy pattern on the skirt a plain shoe is a must, also a pair of seamed stockings for more warmth, and lastly a nice fair size clutch to fit everything in...

So, I hope you enjoy my first 2 chosen outfits to show you, all the items I've shown are all high street purchases, easily affordable and accessible. If you're concerned that I only wear black, please don't be - I love colour, it just so happens that my favourite outfits this week are black, there will be plenty of colour coming up...!
