Rocky and Rachy

Hello readers! So I'm greeting you today with some photos from my new camera which I was given for my birthday. I've never had such a fancy camera so it may take a little getting used to. Harriett has jumped on to a plane to Berlin as she's had a bit of a rough time recently. She'll probably want to write about this more herself but for now I'd like to tell you that for the time being she will be living in London instead of Canada. 

So with Harriett leaving me to fend for myself I've been spending some time with some old friends. Rachy is one of my oldest standing friends that I still speak to and see regular despite her living miles away at uni most of the time. A few days ago, we went to have tea together at the new local fancy tea shop. 





Rachy wore a Cath Kidston dress for our little outing. 



I wore a 50's dress that Harriett bought from 'Old Touch' in Sweden. 



I bought this for Rachel as a Christmas present years ago, I was so happy to see her wear it!

This is me today. I've spent most of the day applying for internships, watching old movies and hanging out with Rocky my fabulous Cairn Terrier. I really love dogs, especially small scuffy ones! Rocky has such a loving nature, its hard to resist spoiling him! 


My shirt is from Oasis and my skirt was thrifted in a charity shop in Sweden.


I'm wearing my early 50's peeptoes again! 



I was really happy my hair set today. I call this look 'Lazy pin curls' and I've been thinking making a tutorial on it. Any interest? 



Here's some of my best bangles. My collection is getting ridiculous now, but when I find them in charity shops I just can't resist picking them up. These are my favorites which are a collection of bakelite, lucite, ivory and wood. My favorite is the green one which isn't very old at all but is hand painted and has the lady's name inside. I also love the carved ivory bangle which Jess gave to my for my recent birthday. 



Its a real shame Rocky can't come dancing with me tonight. 
Lots of love, Aimee xx
