A Dotty Delite!



 Red & White Polka Dot 50s Dress is from a gorgeous little shop in Norwich called 'Goldfinches'. If you are ever around please do check it out! :)
 I adore dressing up more than anything therefore I'm addicted to buying dressy dresses! This little beauty has been on my rail since December, as I have been too scared to wear her out as she is ever so delicate! Beautifully hand made from the 50s with velvet red polka dots. When I saw this dress I had to have it, it was one of those moments when a dream dress pops out at you. :)

Here are just a few snaps! Above is me before my sisters birthday meal and the other two were taken at  Burlesque Launch Night. :)

Above: Me and my darling friend Charlie enjoying our evening!
Have a great weekend!
Lots of love Demi xxx

Twinwood Festival 2012



I have always wanted to go to a Vintage Event of some sort and luckily this year I got to go to Twinwood Festival! I luckily got voted into the Top 10 via Facebook voting for Miss Twinwood 2012, it was quite fun and an experience! I chose a authentic 1940s Dress with lovely scalloping and detailing from Prim Vintage Fashion in Norwich. I would have chosen a typical puffy dress but i wanted to be different and i stand by my choice! The Pageant was quite short but that relieved me as i was so nervous..i had no idea what to expect. 3 winners were chosen that the judges that showed 'different' looks so all 3 girls looked different to each other. It must have been hard for the judges as all the girls looked lovely.
Walking around the festival afterwards I visited the War Museums. I received so many compliments, people were so kind about my dress! Some lovely men in the museum wanted me to win the competition and told me to come back and enter next year! I only got to visit the site for the Sunday but i really enjoyed my short stay and i was sad to leave! I shall be defiantly going next year, more prepared for the grassy and stoney floor especially! As i left a lovely lady approached me telling me to enter the competition again next year and told me i looked lovely. It's just so kind when people say such things so i may just enter again next year as now i know what to expect! 
Now i really want to go to more themed 1940s events. The atmophere is just fantastic. I really recommend to anybody :) 

Here are a couple of photographs of myself! I don't have many great quality ones from the pageant but hopefully some professional ones shall be up online in a couple of days!

 The cars oh show were divine! This one was my favourite.

 1940s housewive. I think i fit in quite well here.

I hope many of you have had a great bank holiday weekend!

First Post!

This is my first post on my new blog! I promise to be more dedicated to this one, after seeing some pretty marvellous blogs around i feel inspired. For my first post i will talk a little about myself..

My name is Demi and I'm 21 years old from Ipswich in Suffolk. Since the age of 14 i have been through many different looks, pretty much disasters but now i have grown out of my teens i have finally found a style to suit me! I have always been fond lover of fashion and i have found the silhouettes from the 1940s and especially the 1950s suit my shape. I adore glamour and dressing up therefore dressing in a 'vintage' style makes me happy. Of course i have not always dressed vintage, as it has been a gradual progression to find what suits me and now i don't see myself dressing in any other way! 
I religiously style my hair everyday either by pin curling or rolling, it has now become a way of life. As oftern and when i can afford i buy 1940s and 1950s dresses, handbags and any other nifty pieces i can find. I also try to source and sell on eBay and would love to be a seller one day. 
I will try to upload tutorials on how i do my hair and make up. I shall also post reviews of my favourite products to recreate vintage looks, including lipsticks and nailvarnish!
Other things about myself is that I'm a big Tea lover! I could drink tea all day, it seriously makes me happy. :)

I hope this blog becomes more interesting and i hope many of you will enjoy what i post!

Lots of love Demi xx
