So we've reached the last set of photos from the shoot with Jac and Steve that we've been calling Through The Ages. For this section we did a really fun 1970s look with an original 1970s pair of flares and giant hair. This look is so completely different to how I normally look but it's refreshing to mix things up sometimes.

See the rest of the series: 1920s, 1930s/40s, 1960s

I am completely in love with the English countryside, and have been forcefully reminded of that fact now that the weather is getting better and I'm going out more. The location where these photos were taken is one of my favourite places locally to visit; it gives me a real sense of calm and contentedness.

Today I have something a little bit different for you: a little feature on fellow blogger Carla of Tiny Angry Crafts. Carla has been extremely supportive of Lovebirds Vintage in the last few months so it's my pleasure to share her lovely blog with you.

She knits and sews really well and regularly showcases her handiwork. I love her Victory sweater a huge amount but her blue peasant blouse really suits her too. You can see her creations from 2014 here as well as her plans for 2015 here.

Continuing with the pictures from our Through The Ages photoshoot. This time it's a 1960s look featuring a beautiful original 60s dress (not my own). The silk millinery flower is from Natty Titfers.

Images are by Steve Bond and hair styling is by Jac at Tip Top Hair Design. You can see the 1920s section here and the 1930s/40s section here. There's one more section to go now with a 1970s look.

Today I have an interview with Jessica of Chronically Vintage as part of her new blogger interview series. Check it out here!

Happy (late) Easter everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend even if you don't celebrate it. My brother was on his Easter break from uni so we could spend some time with the family altogether. My grandparents came to see us on Saturday when I wore this outfit, then my brother and I went to Crich Tramway for the Easter 1940s weekend on Easter Sunday. I didn't take my camera, but there will be photos at some point from some of the photographers who've taken pictures of me in previous years.

The dress I'm wearing here is a new-to-me 1950s dress which I was actually saving for something later in the year, but I just couldn't not wear it for Easter when it was so perfectly Easter-coloured. This dress matches the pink and green shades from my ORLY polishes really well, but I was too busy on the night before and in the morning to paint my nails. I'm saving the idea for later though, because it'll look really nice with this dress for the summer.







This dress came to me in quite poor condition but as such was a good price; I had to mend quite a few burst seams and a couple of tears, as well as replacing the zip. I was really pleased with the result but I managed to break a couple of stitches at the underarm when I reached a bit too far while wearing it, so it's back in my mending pile again. I can't be too disappointed though, because the dress has pockets! Love a dress with pockets, for sure.

A while ago I shared the pictures from the 1920s section of the last photoshoot I did with Jac from Tip Top Hair Design and Steve Bond. After the 1920s section we moved onto this amazing Hollywood Glam look inspired by images of Hollywood's leading ladies of the 1930s and 40s. This was my favourite look overall from the photoshoot, and I am completely in love with the results.








I don't think I can choose a favourite from these as I'm so happy with all of them! Next time will be 1960s - you may have already seen a little preview if you follow me on Facebook  and I'm also active on Twitter and Instagram where you can see more pictures, articles, and interesting things I find on the web.

Also, if you live in the UK, you can now order Bésame cosmetics from Tip Top's online store, and Jac will also be expanding with other lines soon. If you live close enough to visit the salon (Leicestershire) you can also get gift vouchers to spend in store.
