A frock by a royal mistress

Last weekend I bagged this awesome 80s 'Kanga Collection' dress made by Dale Tryon.

Apparently she was Prince Charles’ other other woman besides Camilla.

For an ugly bloke he sure got a lot of action that one…just as well he was born a prince really.

I love everything about this dress, the print is fab, the skirt is pleated & super duperly swishy, yay!

The frock also features gypsy chic ruffle trim neckline & cute puff-sleeves, double yay!

Lady Tryon's obituary makes for very interesting reading if you've got a few minutes to spare :)

I scoured the net to find other 'Kanga Collection' garments for you guys to have a look at but was rather disappointed  to find only three; a dress on eBay, another dress from the  London Frock Exchange & a floral two-piece from the Clothes Agency.

I'm definitely adding this designer to my eBay search list ;)

Frocktastico!

Have a brill Sunday my lovelies :)

A post that Barbara Cartland would be proud of

After last weeks Barbara Cartland related frock post I had an urge to delve deeper into the world of pink ;)

So I scoured the blogs of a few of my fave frockers & found lots of pinky fabulousness on offer.
I think Helga could very well be Barbara Cartlands secret love child, just look at the magnificent use of full-on pink in these four cracking ensembles...

Vix mixes it up using a clashing shade of jewel green, 

that ties in beautifully with the print on her baby pink frock, awesome!

 I also came across Desiree wearing this amazing hot pink pajama ensemble (loving the contrasting chartreuse hair flower) & Sharon sporting a lovely summery pink floral print frock...

So the bloggers that I love certainly don't seem to shy away from the quintessentially girly hue favoured by Barbara Cartland ;)

What about you, do you rock pink?

I certainly do...

Where do you stand on men wearing pink?

Yay or nay?

Personally I'm not keen!
When I visualize hubby in the above ensemble & it actually hurts my brain a little.

Which is your favourite shade of pink?

Mine's got to be fuchsia.

Here's some more pinky loveliness...

Hope everyone had a fabulous Friday night & is not feeling too fragile this morning.

I actually managed to wake up with distinct hangover-esque feeling after drinking two bottles of groTesco's 1% cider...

I mean what is the world coming to folks ;)

Have a great Saturday y'all!
