Sunday's Guilty Pleasure...

Elvis Presley.



I used to happily hum along to his tunes if they came on the radio. I thought he was a dapper looking retro fella with a fair collection of catchy hits.

Then I went to Graceland, Memphis. And I fell for Elvis.

What a man. What a mansion.



He's a super huge cliche of the 50's/60's era, but a trip to see his house, his outfits, his cars....his private jet. He's a dreamboat. 

Many a happy afternoon has since been spent watching Blue Hawaii whilst enjoying my sewing. 
And if I could perfect a look as stunningly sixties as Priscilla then I would die a happy woman. Any couple who can ensure their hair defies gravity so effortlessly gets my vote.




James even (mildly) agrees with me, and splashed out on a snazzy Elvis Presley Christmas record for our little pale blue Dansette player. Festive perfection.

I'm a changed woman.
