Pretty in Pink
I am a huge John Hughes fan, his films are the 80's for me, and if anyone tries to tell me it wasn't like that then i'll firmly shove my fingers in my ears and shout "Lalalalalalala" until they leave.
Last night me, my bestest best friend and her sister had a girly sleepover, and what better film to watch at a girly sleepover than Pretty in Pink. It's such a feel good film and has me falling completely and utterly head over heels in love with Molly Ringwald and Jon Cryer every time, and I always secretly hope that something changes and they get together, but she always takes back Blaine even though i'm screaming, reminding her what a total A-hole he'd been to her only ten minutes before! She never listens. Funny that...
Molly is my biggest girl crush, a huge style icon, and she has the confidence to wear that much pink with red hair and manages to pull it off!
It's not just leading lady Molly that makes this movie, her super cute, totally in love with her best friend Duckie, played by Jon Cryer in the days before that horrible thing - Two and a Half Men was even thought of, is probably my favourite character. He totally rocks the Teddy Boy look and he has my favourite part in the entire film... If you do not fall in love with him in the next one minute and 41 seconds then you need to check your pulse!!

Henry!
Now we all know about my little Henry Holland obsession, and I can't believe i've not posted this yet. Probably been far too busy dancing around the house singing "Skin Head Girl!" and drooling over all the beautiful HOH clothes.
Is it just me being blinded by my love of Henry or does he choose the most perfect show music? And the S/S12 House of Holland collection is cute, sexy, a little cheeky and has a hint of The Flintstones. Funnily enough apart from the Flintstones comment this is exactly how i'd describe Henry himself... ENJOY!!

Creepin' Back
I know, I know i'm a terrible blogger! I've abandoned you all for months on end but I do have a valid excuse I promise! I've been away looking after my sisters kids for the summer sans laptop and stupidly forgot to take my camera charger too and therefore couldn't even store up photos for you! Don't worry i've given myself a severe talking to and have promised to be better behaved!
And i'm back to tell you about my growing love for a particular style of shoe. I first wanted a pair about three years ago seeing some on vintage clothing website Candy Says. I regret not buying them but at the time I was after more of a Twiggy kind of look and bought some rather beautiful 1960's Modette 1.5 in heels instead.
I have searched for another pair but never found any that caught my eye. Until recently that is. Now they're everywhere and in every conceivable colour. I am talking about of course the Brothel Creeper.
The Brothel Creeper, originally worn by soldiers in World War Two, were picked up by Teddy Boys who wore them with drainpipe trousers, both now very popular with the recent androgyny trend.
Here are a few of my favourite coloured Creepers on the high street right now:
Blue, Asos £85
Yellow, River Island £30
Red, Topshop £55

Phillip Lim - Girls on Bikes
I came across this this morning, well with a little help from Twitter anyway! But I do have a strange love of these fashion films and have showed them here in the past, this one by Phillip Lim entitled Girls on Bikes (and you'll see why when you watch it) is incredibly crisp and fresh and beautiful, I just couldn't resist sharing it with you.

I'M SO SORRY!!
I'm writing this from behind a cushion, hiding my embarrassment at having abandoned my lovely readers for so long. I'm also waving a white flag hoping that you're all kind enough to forgive me for doing so.
And i'm still not completely back but I do have an excuse, packing up two families to move across the country does not leave much time to do much else.
However, I pinky promise that I will be back soon and will leave you with this video by Lernert and Sander featuring the model Hannelore Knuts, THIS is what a years worth of make up looks like ladies (and gents!)
