Nerys Hughes in The Liver BirdsOne of the most darling dollybirds of the late 60s/early 70s, Nerys Hughes tottered her way into fashion icon status as Sandra Hutchinson in The Liver Birds. Week after week, the girls would fight it out over a sexy negligee; destroy each others’ feather boas and debate the merits of a maxi versus a mini.
Sandra was always the glamourpuss though. Feigning innocence with the lads, whilst wearing the shortest of minis. Batting those false eyelashes under a heavy fringe (it’s a wonder she could keep her eyes open!!) and backcombing her thick brown hair as though her life depended on it.
She was also curvy, posh and had a prickly veneer of respectability. Just my kind of girl!! The Liver Birds became a manual on 60s chic for me (before I discovered The Avengers) and I would still kill for her wardrobe. Nerys, we salute you!!
Movin’ on and groovin’ on….

I never knew quite how net-reliant I was until now. I am currently able to check my emails every few days, and ought to be back online very soon. Thank you all for bearing with me!
In the meantime, I’m working hard on some new listings and I’ve always got my beady eye out for some seriously fabulous vintage from this here Swinging City of mine! I’m already in the mood for Autumn (my excuse is that it’s very Autumnal weather here right now!) so please do come back soon for some transitionary pieces to get you in the mood.
Lots of love to you all,
