Dazzling Red in Dita with Voodoo Vixen
We all have a power colour. A colour we’re drawn to naturally. A colour that when we wear it, makes us feel invincible. For me that colour has long been red.

But lets be honest,… Continue reading Keeping Warm in style with Jenny from Vivien of Holloway
Pretty in Primrose with Voodoo Vixen
I’ve talked before about the oh so important little black dress….and how I struggle with the concept of one. On its own, I find black quite bland and boring.
