Pour Moi? Forbidden Basque

One of my very first blog posts, in September last year, featured the oh-so seductive Pour Moi? Forbidden Basque

The overt sexuality of this piece had be lusting after if for a whole 6 months - so with my one year anniversary looming, I finally took the plunge and purchased her. 

*Disclaimer - the sexiness of this piece makes me talk bedroom.  Grandma, don't read on!


70s vibes with Yours Clothing

The 70s are quite awesome - bell sleeves, flares, mini skirts, floppy hats and blunts fringes.  What isn't great about all these things?
