A Georgian Fairytale

Last night Alice and I joined The Young Georgians for a debaucherous evening in Fitzrovia. 
The theme was "A Georgian Fairytale" so we went to my favourite shop in the whole of London... Angels fancy dress. 
After an afternoon playing with wigs and dresses and turbans, we settled on Midsummer Night's nymphs in Georgian corsets, vintage ballet tutus and flower crowns.
The party was held in the most beautiful old townhouse, where we drank and waltzed into the early hours. 
























It was a sensational party and I'm already keeping my fingers crossed for an invite to the next one. 
If you're a Londoner under 30 and fancy coming along, join the society here (it's only £25).

      It's rented from them. They have a whole warehouse of INCREDIBLE costumes that they loan out for films, plays & ballets, etc.
      Sadly you can only get them in store but it's a great place to go and play dress up!
      This isn't actually a dress, it's a corset and a vintage tutu. If you go and explain that to them, I'm sure you can rent the same one.

    Hi Rose,
    I need some advice...I never do this but I feel that you'd know what to do...I really like this girl at school, she is really beautiful and I've liked her for a whole year, which is a long time for a teenage boy, trust me. How do I get her to notice me and like me? Whenever she talks to me I just can't speak, I get so nervous. Thanks

    1. Hey Anon,
      A year is a long time for anyone to have a crush, trust me!
      I actually get this question a lot from guys AND girls and my answer is always the same, YOU are the only one holding you back.
      You're over thinking it and stressing out when really you don't need to.
      Girls are not mythical creatures just waiting to break your heart. Stop thinking of the difference between boys and girls and think how similar we are as people.
      Being a teenager is fun, nerve wraking, scary, moody, lonely, crazy, sexy and exciting for both sexes.
      Just talk to her like she's a friend and like there's nothing weird about and I'm sure she'll do the same back.
      The fact she even talks to you and makes the effort must mean she likes you and has clearly noticed you!
      Don't spend your time together figuring out how to make her like you, decide if you like her. It will mean you're much more relaxed and you wont f*ck it up with nerves!
      Have fun! xx

    4. Hey Anon 2!
      Hmm... well he added you so you're already winning!
      Do you know each other well?
      If not I'd message him and be like "Hey, have we met?" and then he'll say "Uhhh we go to school together..." and then you can say "Ohh ok! Well hey!" and ta daaa you have a conversation!
      Plus it will throw him off that he doesn't think you remember him. (You can even do this if you know you've spoken before just be like "ohhh that was yooou! Sorry about that, terrible memory".)

    Love the outfit! Question: WHAT do you do to your hair to keep the volume like that?! I have long brown hair that's straight, but it usually gets pretty flat after a couple of hours (especially with the humidity here in Houston, UGH). Only way to keep any body in it is to make big curls everywhere, but that 1) takes forever, 2) is pretty damaging, and 3) isn't quite the look I want sometimes. I love how your hair looks here! Please tell me how you do it :)

    Hi Rose,

    Can I ask some advice? I've been on your anti-diet but it doesn't let me comment, so I'll have to do it on this page, sorry!

    I am off to Italy this weekend and I want to loose 1 stone over the summer. It seems impossible in Italy of all places with the pasta, pizza and other deliciously fattening goodies! But there is a pool in the villa we're staying at and I hope to go running everything day plus stomach excerises, so if I do that and follow the hunger scale and drink lots of water...how long do you reckon I could loose this extra weight??

    Eating inbetween meals and snacking is my weakness, but thanks so much for posting the anti diet because it makes so much sense! Sorry for the essay! xx

    ReplyDelete
    Replies

    1. Hey Brigitte,
      People think Italy is all pizza and pasta but they also have incrreedible fresh fish, vegetables and great meat. Try and avoid the heavy carby dishes and go for high protein with lots of veg. Indulge now and then but pay attention to the hunger scale and your real hunger vs emotional hunger.
      When you're away try and swim lengths, go for long walks and stay active.
      I see no reason why you can't lose at least a stone by the end of summer.
