Veuxdoo Child...

Get Shorty...

I was looking through my (slimmed down) wardrobe the other day for something to wear and realised I was making a huge faux pas: I didn't own a pair of summer shorts, not one! I only owned two pairs of shorts all  together, both more dressy, winter styles. The type you could quite happily dress up with heels, suit jacket and blouse for work.

This had to change...

...So I got down to Beyond Retro in Brighton determined to find the perfect pair of denim shorts. I didn't leave empty handed.

80's high rise, front panel denim shorts, £20. Beyond Retro.

The high rise detail and front panel with buttons is so flattering and unique. They almost have a 1950's look about them.

Looking at them on the hanger, it was hard to tell if they would fit. They looked tiny, despite the fact that they were my size. When I got them in the fitting room however, I unbuttoned the front panel and they looked like they would be miles too big...turns out they fit like they were made to measure. Sold!

Lust Worthy Item Of The Week...

1970's Hot Pink Dress. £28, Tramp Vintage.

Home Sweet Home...

Good Afternoon Vintage Lovers!

And it gives me great pleasure to finally say, welcome to Brighton! Well, Hove actually (a phrase I've come to realise is used frequently about these parts!)

The last three weeks have flown by in a blur and have been a little bit more than stressful, as moving house always is. We finally feel like we're getting somewhere however and I finally feel like we can start calling this place home.

So I wanted to take the opportunity to share a few photos of the last few weeks...

As you can see, it's not been easy getting my wardrobe sorted - there's never enough room! A lot has been given to charity and sold on eBay, but I think I'm getting there. It's all about smart storage...

Some of my vintage handbags are still waiting for a home...

The view from the living room window. You can just about see the sea!

The view at the end of our road. Hove beach at sunset...

When you live by the beach, there's only one thing you can do when the sun shines...needless to say, my tan is coming along very nicely thank you...

An absolutely beautiful image I captured while strolling along Hove promenade one afternoon, as you do...

But I guess we're just starting to feel grounded after three weeks of total mayhem!


So watch this space guys. Thank you for remaining loyal followers of Fashion Not Rocket Science and check back very soon for my very first vintage post from Brighton!
