Now I have been to Rome, and I have to say that this vintage vibe still works today. However, for style and modesty concious hijabis and non-hijabis alike I have to recommend the wearing of chic wide-legged trousers in replacement of Audreys calf-length skirt. The reasons for this would become evident as you traipse around the city looking glamorous and possibly even venture out on a Piaggio! Keep your cool in these vintage inspired looks that still hold their own today...

The first is a pretty femenine look, the second a bit more edgy but at the same time it has a very european air that has stood the test of time in the fashion arena. Stumble into any high street store and you will be able to recreate either of these looks on a shoe-string budget!

Mocktail Mini Menu

I used to adore cocktails but definitely more for the taste than the intoxicating effect. Upon discovering that one of my IT colleagues is a mixologist of the highest calibre I prevailed upon him to email me a mini menu of 'mocktails' for a summer evening with the girls.

Buyer beware: these babies are so delicious that you risk serious fruit juice stomach distension if you over indulge. Keep the nibbles small ladies! And allow the fibrous anti-oxidant goodness to do it's work. Oh, and make an effort for this all-female occasion wont you? *winks*

See below for inspiration...



Peachy Keen

Directions: Fill a Collins glass with ice, add a splash of peach puree and the top off half and half with pineapple and cranberry juices. Shake and serve with a pineapple wedge garnish.



Shirley Temple

Directions: Fill a Collins glass with ice, add a splash of grenadine and the top off two to one with ginger ale and orange. Stir and serve with an orange slice and cocktail cherries.

I am so in love with this Marchesa dress! Nothing like dressing for the occasion...

There are a pair of shoes here that don't belong! I tried to delete them but to no avail. Ah well, at least they are good shoes...
