Babycham - The drink of happiness!

Lazy day Sundays are the best, but I also like a Sunday afternoon filled with old movies when you get chance to reflect. I love the black and white movies, a time when the plot, the script and peoples acting ability mattered more than the special effects. It is a shame but we seem to live in a world where the superficial look of something can matter more than its substance. I much prefer substance.

When you are having an afternoon of indulgence, with the likes of Casablanca then you have to make the effort. I am a soft touch for floral prints, especially roses. They are pretty and feminine, apparently "floral prints are on trend" so I apologise for my "on trendness" in advance. Sometimes the fashionista's steal ideas from the people with style, you just have to remind yourself that actually when they copy  you it's a compliment. 

If you are indulging on a Sunday then you can't beat a babycham, it is the ultimate 50s drink and I like it because it comes in tiny bottles which suits me as I have little tolerance to alcohol and find half a pint challenging. 

Grandma (of sewing fame and Matriarchal Marv) has original babycham glasses, they say babycham in blue on base and they have the little deer on the glass. She was so kind and lent them to us so we could put htem on the blog.

I chose the dress to co-ordinate with the babycham bottle which is a lovely turquoise, powdery blue. It is "The drink of happiness" (that's the tag line). It is funny because babycham is really Perry which happens to be Marv's name too, which is also "Pear cider" LOL 

I do like the Vivien of Holloway dresses. I think the halterneck is one of the most flattering shapes for your shoulders and combined with a sweetheart neckline it is just pretty feminine and flattering. I love the way the tops are so fitted and the skirts so full. I must confess it is a skirt to twirl around in.
