I was thrilled to pieces to spend the day with one of my favourite bloggers, Sara Delaney, Notes from a Stylist,  mooching around Brighton sharing my love of all things vintage. Oh, and did I mention she's also one of the best photographers I know so was an absolute delight to pose for.  And you know how I love to pose!

Every August Bank Holiday weekend in Brighton, thousands of parka wearing, scooter riding men & women come to town for Modculture.  For those too young to remember, the Mods & Rockers of the 60's used to meet up (and sometimes fight) here on the South Coast: the former on scooters & the latter on motor bikes. (If you want to know more about that era a great movie to watch is Quadrophenia). 

Every couple of months, my oldest school friend Dalia and I love to fit in a little day trip to somewhere we haven't been before.  So I suggested Hastings as, despite it only being 'down the road' from Brighton, I haven't visited this little fishing port for decades and she had never been.

I am so crap at editing videos, I really must practise and get to grips with this!

Please let me know what you do to dress up your hair and outfits, I always love to hear from you. And let me know what you would like to see on any future videos. I'm building up to one a week!

I didn't mean to buy any winter clothes as I'm only here till the middle of December before going back to Australia. However, I popped into a few Brighton high street shops to see if they had any interesting tops for the Vivienne Westwood skirt I bought for my birthday this time last year. I have only worn it a couple of times so really want to get maximum wear out of it this year.

This is one of the last summer outfits I wore during our really mild early autumn. Wearing sandals at the end of September - what a treat!

Of course, there was the inevitable chill when the sun hid, but I have learned over the years to pack leggings & a vest in my huge bag so I am never caught out during those seasonal changes. Like a girl Scout I am always prepared for fluctuating temperatures, carting around stuff I can take off or put on!
