Park Picnics and Seaside Spitfires.

Greetings darling readers.

Aimee here, updating you on our usual frivolities! The past week saw me getting one year older and not a year wiser. Fortunately last year I decided I'd never again reveal my age! Start young I say! I was lucky enough to have Harriett stay with me in my family home in the East London suburbs. I've never been one for large birthdays, I'm rather quiet and its all a little too much attention. But I've been lucky enough to have a simple birthday with Harriett followed by a night on the town with Jess too. 

After a delicious breakfast of our favorite avocado on toast, Harriett presented me this beautifully wrapped gift. It was a divine and rare floor length early 1940's dress with pronounced shoulders and a low bust line. Its so wonderful to have such a dress, those 40's glamorous dresses seem to be getting rarer and rarer now. I of course decided to wear it all day, even to the park!     

Haha, here's Harriett doing a pose outside my area's local...(hmmm how should put this gracefully)..Cat house! A steam house that opens at ten o'clock at night...interesting. 

Me reaching for my cider of course. In my new dress with the flower corsage that it came with. I decided to not reveal too much yet as I'll probably wear it to one of the vintage events this winter. It needs a post in its full glory! 

Our picnic!
Me and Harriett are in love with bacon crispies. Mmmm delicious vegan bacon flavored oddities. 

I don't know why I'm not smiling I had such a lovely day! We were also joined by my friend Rachy who was suffering an awful hangover at the time. 

Gorgeous Harriett in her 1930's peach dress which she bought in a charity shop in Sweden. 

A few days later I went to visit Harriett at her family home in Pevensey Bay. After many girly chats, sausage dog petting and pizza eating; we went to 'Airborne' in Eastbourne. Airborne is a annual free weekend event where lots of (normally elderly) people go and watch planes on the scenic Eastbourne seafront. It includes a lot of old wartime fighter planes too.

I wore a 1940's (£2.99!) hat that I bought from a charity shop that very day, with my 50's dress also from a charity shop and my new late 40's early 50's peeptoes that I bought from Snooper's Paradise on our trip to Brighton. 

Gorgeous Harriett wearing a 50's skirt from Camden passage. A Cath Kidston Pajama top which looks so wonderful as a 40's style blouse and original bakelite bangles. 

Some of the 40's war time fighter planes.

We done a lot of clapping and saluting! 

After we headed off to Lewes, I bought a 50's silk blouse and Harriett bought a beautiful 30's ballgown that is  in need of some TLC to restore it to it's former glory. 

Lots of love Aimee xx
