About Kim-Marie

Hello there, I'm Kimba. Delighted to meet you! I'm a Cantabrian Kiwi, married to my Welshman, and mama to my little Australian Boyo. I'm a dedicated follower of fashion, a beauty junkie, who adores vintage glamour and retro cute. I'm a bargain shopper extraordinaire, and self appointed stylist to the Gorgeous Girls. I love cocktail hats as much as I love cocktails, and I never leave the house without lipgloss and a hair accessory or two!

As huge fans of birthday Festivals, it may come as no surprise that we also like to celebrate Mother’s Day as the Festival of Mama.  The Welshman and Boyo have been making plans for weeks, bless their little cotton socks.
