Hello lovely people, it’s my 40th birthday!
I used Manic Panic in Voodoo Blue on pre-lightened hair. It’s actually a deep Teal colour indoors, which glows bright Cyan in the sunshine!
It came out (way) brighter than I imagined but I love it!
The easiest way to create this effect if you have long wavy hair, is just dying the whole top layer and it will separate itself into big fat highlights.
I’m going to be 40 in 4 months so naturally I’m doing the adult thing and wearing this type of kawaii-goth style I used to wear all of the time in my early 20’s – early 30’s hehee!

Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone has the purrrfect Halloween. 😺
I needed a cat nap earlier but I’m really getting into it meow. 😸
Sorry if I’ve made your brain fall into uncanny-valley territory. It’s less scary than the cast of the film Cats though I’m sure! 🙀
This is an old outfit but one I still wear all of the time. You can’t go wrong with a long sleeved dress, tights, (p)leather jacket and knee high boots for A/W.
What’s your fave part of this outfit?
Happy weekend, cheers!

Around four years ago I lost one of a pair of sparkly, lightning bolt earrings. I was gutted. I’ve been looking for affordable and funky replacements since. Ive just found these £12 at Sour Cherry!
They dangle around and constantly catch the light so they are really difficult to photograph when being worn, but you can get an idea of the length and size here. They are quite sturdy but so light because they are made of resin. They are available in eight other colours with two mini versions.
Check out the Frida Kahlo earrings I bought from Sour Cherry earlier.
Here’s another part of this little series and today it’s my style posts and photo’s which got the most likes on my Instagram and on this blog. The previous one was Food and the one before that was Lifestyle.

Which are your faves and what would you pair with some of these? I’m always up for suggestions!
This is one of my favourite day-to-night outfits. For daytime when it’s been hot, I’ve left off the cardigan and worn black caged-toe sandals with it instead (I prefer the evening look though, so here it is). The blouse is from Hell Bunny (I cut of the Peter Pan collar because I didn’t want such a specific vintage look) and the boots are from Joe Browns (last season but still in stock).

Hi lovely people!
I’ve decided for Outfit Of The Day posts I’m only going to link to wear to buy one or two main items. This is partly because I’m sure your savvy enough to find your own wardrobe basics (to suit your own budget) and partly because I want to promote delving into the back of our own wardrobes and only adding a new piece every now and then to create outfits, rather than always buying fast-fashion.
Clearly Instagram knows me very well as it suggested I follow Hell Bunny, a UK shop which sells a lot of retro Rockabilly and sexy vintage styles of clothing and accessories. The clothes are new and well made and the sizing is spot on. I bought this Poseidon blouse because I’d never seen a pretty blouse with such a an awesome and unique pattern as this one before!
I already had the ‘pirate’ ankle boots after seeing them in the Vivienne Westwood shop and spotting an affordable pair in Topshop. I already had the the little cute-but-punky hoops and black skirt from EMP, and thin leggings from Matalan. Am I the only one who gets claustrophobic/stupidly hot wearing those really thick, shiny leggings that are everywhere now?
❤Chrissie❤
