A little bit of magic

My lovely friend Tam posted an image today from Faerie Magazine which I loved and encouraged me to follow the Magazine on social network.  It reminded me of a time I used to buy the magazine  


and really, REALLY wanted to go to the Faerie Festival (I still do btw, I just think my little Cherub is too small at the moment). I think part of my desire to go is obviously due in part to their awesome Glamping Yurts.


So, looking over some of their images, it got me thinking of that other side of myself and my look.  That romantic, medievalist, Pre-Raphaelite side that I initially was going to indulge when I had no social life and hardly left the house so need not think of the practicalities of always wearing batwing sleeves and floor length skirts all the time.

Stream of Consciousness like, I thought about one of my favourite shows at the moment, Once Upon a Time and more particularly Snow and Charming (played by Big Love Alumni Gennifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas).


Particularly Snow, who traditionally would never be a character I would feel some commonality with, but this version of Snow...let's just say, I understood all too well why Archie needed to have a talk with her.

Anyway, the costumes, in The Enchanted Forest are lovely. Like this Tudor inspired lilac silk gown Snow is wearing in this picture.

Stupid diet

It was all going well until Rosh Hashana, now I am off it and hormonally eating Belgian Chocolate (was on sale, don't judge me!)  Anyway, I am trying to get back on it and my current inspiration is a 20% sale at Lady Vintage.....

Lady Vintage is based here in the UK and has sizes up to 30....please note that is pretty big so NO ONE has any excuses not to look totally amazing this autumn!!!!

This is my favourite, it is called the Isabella Dress
