I've just recently ordered a bike from here. I'm quite excited and have been imagining all sorts of 1940's/50's style cycling. Probably getting a bit carried away as usual.
I can't help but think of Emily Lloyd in Wish You Were Here.
The floaty summer dresses, retro sun glasses, with just a dab of rosy tinted lip gloss and balmy summer breezes through your hair....Ahh...sounds lovely doesn't it?
Of course this is probably NOT how it is going to be {imagine, stuck behind a lorry with Sainsburys carrier bags dangling precariously from the handlebars...} but for the moment this is the daydream and I'm not parting with it for anything!

ReplyDeleteOh definitely, Nikeah! But you've spent a summer here, right? Better pack those rain macs! x
ReplyDeleteOk I am in love with your bike! It is gorgeous, and so pretty. Cath Kidson is also a resident in my house at the moment - very good taste I must say! B:)
ReplyDeletelove the idea of an old fashioned bike - you must wear a red flowing dress while riding or perhaps a yellow polka dot dress :)
ReplyDelete...with umbrellas then! :D
ReplyDeleteI'll join you! I love the idea of a 40's-50's comeback! :)
