So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The way to Look good in 1980s Clothing

By Samantha Ludlum


More and more we have been noticing designs and fashoins coming from the eighties re-emerging as on trend and 'fashionable' looks. Just about everyone has tampered with an eighties style or two, whether leg-warmers, shoulder pads or possibly a wild animal print, but looks that came from this decade are taking over the world of fashion as well as our wardrobes.

The most in-demand look presently which became popular as a major trend late nineteen seventies and came into its own during the early 1980s is tailoring and mens clothing worn by women. Both androgynous and mod designs are cool, elegant and can also be surprisingly sexy. As we embark on the next 'season' of fashion expect to see many more A/W styles to incorporate plaid, checks, oversized mens jackets, brogues and even berets and flat caps.

Wearing vintage could not make this look easier or more unique so now is the time to invest in a vintage tweed jacket, some loose fitting vintage shirts and a good pair of brogues or 'Chelsea boots'.

Don't be concerned about this look appearing too dull or even masculine since you can easily glam up with some jewelry and soft feminine make-up and mix and match oversized or mens jackets & shirts with a pair of skinny denim jeans and heels or tiny shorts and stockings and suspenders! Have fun with this great style and contrast ties and flat caps with diamond stud earrings and a stunning clutch purse.

To really embrace this fantastic style watch out for classic pieces such as an Yves Saint Laurent 'Smoking Tuxedo' or Ralph Lauren edged blazer however there are many more affordable alternatives available. Don't be afraid to raid your boyfriends (or better still Grandad's!) wardrobe and mix and match ladies and gents pieces. Start by purchasing a few vintage tailored pieces, the quality will be so significantly superior to many high street alternatives, and play about with various looks until you find your own unique 'dapper' style.
