Spoiler: not life size! About a month ago, I posted about an exciting project I was doing with British Airways for their campaign, for which they 3D printed me (!) and sent the miniature Fleur off to Istanbul to see what delights it could find. Sadly, I didn’t make it to any vintage shops, should there…

Having a Bath
Gooooooood afternoon! Blimey but I am behind with my posting. I have new job! It’s very exciting – I am now officially ‘Head of Social Media’ at a little digital agency called Digital Binx. It’s all very new (two weeks!) so I don’t have a huge amount to tell you all yet. Have a look…
A beautiful Mess
You know I love an Afternoon Tea. So it was with great delight that I accepted the invitation to review the one on offer at Gallery Mess – the food offering attached to the Saatchi Gallery on King’s Road. So, this is not the kind of huge tea I’ve been used to (and perhaps slightly spoiled by)….
Bath time! Bath in Fashion & the Secret Tea Party
Two weekends ago, I had the distinct pleasure of going to the glorious city of Bath for the Bath in Fashion week. Or, more specifically, for the vintage day of Bath in Fashion week. I’d been invited to come and do a little talk about wearing vintage and also being a blogger at Mrs Stokes’s…
Vintage London: The Tea House Theatre
Well… I was on a roll for a while there, wasn’t I? And then it seems inspiration and motivation temporarily deserted me! I do have so much to post about and barely a minute in the day to do so. But as it’s Friday afternoon and I want to write about lovely things, let me…
Atrixo the Trade
Sorry for the weak pun in the title, guys (I’m not really sorry). Last week, I was privileged enough to be invited to a lovely event held by Atrixo. Tubs of this distinctive yellow and green handcream have been around since the dawn of time, by which I mean ever since I can remember looking…
On Blogging (& Betty’s Tea Room)
Happy New Year everyone! Here are some words relating to what’s on my mind at the moment. I’ve been blogging for five years this May. I have a funny relationship with it at the moment. I love doing it, and can’t imagine giving it up, it’s a huge part of my life and definitely one…
No See Views
Once upon a time, a week or so ago, two girls called Fleur and Bethan went to the seaside for tea, but they didn’t see very much. It was foggy, you… erm… see. Yeah. So anyway, here are some things that the fog didn’t obscure. The Blackbird Tea Rooms (and their loos) were lovely! …
The Jersey Lily
This is the third in a series of adventures I’ve been sent on, by and for The King’s Ginger. I’m following the life, loves and hobbies of King Edward VII, spinning you all an entertaining yarn or two, and, since this is of course primarily a fashion blog, showing lots of pictures of me in…
You glow, girl!
You know that old analogy, something about men sweating, but women glowing? It’s definitely true about some ladies. I have several female friends who don’t seem to have any sweat glands at all, lucky cows. It’s not very British to sweat, well, not if you’re supposed to be a delicate English Rose or a bastion…
