A Bit of Old Fashioned Glamour

Today I spent the afternoon with Leila and Isadora of Nina's Hair Parlour trying out hair & make-up styles for the wedding.


I was looking for classic Hollywood era style a la Rita Hayworth & boy did I get it!


I've actually got a hairnet on in these pictures but didn't feel a bit Ina Sharples.


They even found these two beautiful flowers for me to pin in my hair.


What a treat! I've never felt so glamorous before. When I mentioned to Isadora that I felt a bit overdone for strolling around on a Wednesday afternoon she tutted at me & said, 'Fifty years ago you wouldn't have even considered leaving the house without curling your hair'. That told me.


Well, it must've had some effect. I was chatted up in the street twice on the way home and a stranger in Superdrug made me do a twirl for them. Amazing what a touch of eyeliner & a few curls can do.
