This Leopard Changes Her Spots

I'm sitting here with The Stylist wrapped up in a quilt, sitting on my lap as I type this.
She's nearly as tall as me, but still so cuddly.
We went to see Mirror, Mirror on Sunday, a good excuse to stuff ourselves stupid on sushi afterwards.

I wore a "new" pair of 1970s black satin Super Flares from the gorgeous Jill's Etsy shop, Adeline's Attic Vintage.
They look a bit creased here but that's because I've just exited the cinema after sitting with my ankles around my neck.
Then eating like a queen.
Great way to spend a Sunday.






The Stylist got snap happy - thank you sweetie:)).

Lace headband - handmade by moi
Bowie t-shirt - Ms Minx's shop
Patchwork bag - Two Squirrel's Vintage
Green velvet wedges - Nine West sale
Hologram "eye" pendant - Original Seed
Rings - Hornbag Helga

I've been searching for powered glitter eyeshadow with super staying power.
I found it in Calla Cosmetics' Etsy shop and once I discovered I wasn't limited to my first choice, silver, I went a wee bit mad over this mineral powder magic.
As you can see.
The tube is a light, sheer glue to smear over the desired glitterati areas, then I used a brush to dab on the magical fairy dust.
You can go as light or heavy-handed as you like.
I'm afraid I don't know what light-handed means.

1950s wiggle frock - Etsy
Melissa shoes - shopped by darling Suzanne

I just HAD to wear my new eyeshadow to take The Stylist to ballet tonight
Then while Number Three Son was flinging himself around the dance floor at the school disco, it was a quick change then off for more gorging.
Tonight it was Greek platters of heaven at Char Char in West End.

 The face of culinary happiness.


 Focus people - this is to demonstrate the longevity of the glitter after five hours of wear.

  1. Marvellously splendidly fabulously perfectly EXQUISITE! The wide legged pants make me quiver with joy - and the leopard jacket (dressing gown, you say?) is SUPERB!!! I do wonder about those glittery eye shadows as I am bit paranoid about getting glitter into my eyeballs - but I am, of course, desperate to be a glitter-lidded queen too. The Stylist gets more gorgeous every day! Sarah xxx

  11. So many wonderful elements here, I don't know which to gush over first! The leopard print, headband and jewelry are so striking together. And I'm kind of nuts over the shoes and orange toenails in the last photos. (And your stylist is completely adorable, of course, and a great photographer as well!)

    Nice food, too. Mmmmmmm......

  12. Hey, I just bought a 60's men's silk paisley robe and was thinking it would make a fine jacket, thanks for the continued inpiration, love all your outfits, and that Bowie tee is the perfect rock & roll touch, just wow!

  15. It always warms my heart to hear about you spending so much time with your daughter, and that you both enjoy it! I love my mom, but we never really bonded, and it tickles me pink to see it here :) I love that glittery eyeshadow! You wear it fantastically. I'm so bad with rubbing my eyes though, it'd be smears of glitter in no time. Wearing that leopard housecoat as outwear is also brilliant!

  16. Wow, you look totally gorgeous in all three get-ups. The grey dress is casual but you've made it come alive and sizzle with that beret and those amazing shoes...not to mention the minxy make-up. Like your new cyber-maid headdresses. I'm sitting here pondering what BLUE PUFF is and why it becomes illegal on the first of May? May I also compliment you on your use of crate as prop in pics, wicked ;)
    Lot's of love,
    Jennie

  17. Your outfits are always so detailed and visually interesting that I study the details and work my way slowly down your posts, so I was startled to see the 1950s wiggle dress midway - which looks like something *I'd* wear on my rather conservative ol' let's get dressed for work again blog :P I love your eyeshadow. I think I need a wiggle dress, too :)

  18. I love the lurex jacket. And I have new eyes now for dressing gowns...

  19. Your style range is amazing and I really love the glitter eyeshadow. The wiggle dress with sequin beret was perfect for the ballet and of course the leopard print dressing gown for sushi with The Stylist is perfection.

  22. Every outfit is bloody fabulous!! I can't choose a fave, though I was suprised by seeing you in a more muted femme fatale grey and how damn cool you look in it

    ReplyDelete
  23. I've always wondered, does your little stylist take after you? Does she wear darling little outfits with bold colors and such? You two are so cutesy together =-) That glitter look is to die for!

  31. ADORE the leopard dressing gown - scrumptious!
    With your beaded cap, glitter and silver top & silver shoes, you give Miss Fisher a run for her money in the glam flapper stakes. I'm looking for the scandalously short fringed dress!

  32. What an exciting and busy few days you've been having and what fabulous outfits to be busy in! Love your super duper pretty glitty eyeballs! That glitter glue stuff must be bloody good.. *bookmarks etsy shop*

    The stylist is so freaking adorable! She reminds me of one of my childhood friends (and still now friend) They would have looked quite similar had they ever met at that age (which would be impossible obviously) but you get the picture!

    You seriously have the best show and head accessory collection known to man.. or woman! xxx
