It was my 40th birthday last weekend- and what better way to celebrate than a trip to see Lynsey LeKeux at
LeKeux Events and a Vintage tea party with my bestest girlfriends?!
As a special birthday treat I took my two eldest daughters to have their hair styled in 1940s victory rolls and ice cream swirls with Lynsey. Don't we look amazing?!

We even have
Besame lippy on!
Lynsey was so lovely with the girls and we chatted about our respective businesses, how and why we'd started and what we hoped for the future. I have never seen anyone make victory rolls look so easy!
My eldest loves the look of Angel Adoree from the
Vintage Patisserie so went along armed with photos....

I think Lynsey managed it, don't you?!
Then it was Zoe's turn....

| First curl.... |

The girls and I absolutely loved watching every swoop and roll in order to try and learn some of the techniques required for such an iconic style. We took lots of pictures of Lynsey at work while perusing the new
Vintage party shop stock and listening to some fabulous old tunes together.
Finally it was my turn!

| Almost done |
In no time at all the transformation to 1940s vintage diva's was complete!
 |
| Finished results! |
Next it was off to the tea party!

What a glorious way to spend a 40th birthday afternoon! Thanks to all my fabulous friends who made it all possible, especially the hugely talented and wonderfully chic Raych of
Tag & Button who I simply could not exist without!
I'm off to
Vintage Norwich soon for part two of the 40th birthday celebrations so, until "we'll meet again", bye for now!

Such a lovely blog, thank you! xxx
It looks like such fun, I hope you had a happy birthday. It's great that your girls got into the spirit of it all too.
You all look adorable, how sweet that your girls shared the day with you!
Thanks guys! Lynsey- you really are amazing! And the girls did have a wonderful time. (So much so infact that my eldest has just started her own vintage blog!!!)
