Hooray, huzzah, hoorah! The access to my Flickr account has been restored! While I get on with editing and uploading photos for my very overdue King’s Ginger blog, here are some I didn’t take earlier. The very gorgeous Miss Turnstiles, aka Simone of the perfect hair and amazing wardrobe, has been busy in the last…

Tights, Camera, Action
Last week, I had the honour of being invited to the very fancy Wolford shop in Westwestfield to attend an event hosted by my very lovely friend Bangs and a Bun. Isn’t she gorgeous? This idea was to introduce me, and all the other glamorous attendees, to the A/W collection from Wolford, which is an…
Transatlantic crew love
I know I say it a lot, but running has enriched my life… in truly myriad ways. From making me feel strong and healthy, giving me extra confidence and motivation to achieve more in my personal life and career, to bringing me into contact with people from all walks of life that I am now…
Running vs Tweed
Bon-journo, as Del Boy would say! Yesterday was a game of two halves and no mistake. It began at 6am with a rude awakening, a bowl of lukewarm pre-prepared porridge and some mild stressing, all because I was running my third half-marathon. At this point let me say for the record that I realise I…
Style signatures
Obviously, dressing and looking as I do (and the various incarnations of different alternative styles I’ve sported over the years) shows that looking unusual and drawing others’ attention is not something I have a problem with. And while I’m most definitely not an attention seeker in any way (it’s a by-product of dressing differently rather…
Birds of a Feather
Something that I hear a lot, especially in conjunction with my Vintage Mafia girlies, is how so many people out there wish they could find some like-minded vintage friends to go out with and misbehave. Or behave, but that’s less fun. I won’t deny, my friends (by which I mean all the ladies and gents…
A Happy New Wardrobe!
Miss Naomi Thompson is one of my best friends. She is lovely, generous, beautiful, hardworking, and has a vintage collection that would make a lesser woman weak at the knees. And, if you read my blog regularly, you’ll know she runs Vintage Secret, a clothing and events company that’s received rave reviews from Vogue, Cosmo…
Fleur Fans
In the wake of what shall go down in Diary of a Vintage Girl history as VaGgate (har har, lol, snort, etc) (yes I am a child), I have received many positive emails and lovely messages from people. Unsurprisingly, I have not received any negative emails, because short of making a fake email profile (which,…
When Chaps Attack…
Happy Monday to all my blog followers and droppers-by. I hope you all had splendid weekends? Mine was the very best in recent memory. Or, at least, the Saturday was, because it was the long awaited, 6th Annual Chap Olympiad 2010! Held in Bedford Square Gardens, it’s in Central London, but tucked away from the…
Ravishing vintage repro
Back at the end of May, I was privileged enough to do a shoot at the simply beautiful house of a friend of mine, Jenny. She and her husband are regulars on the swing scene, and I’d heard rumours about how gorgeous their house was. So when another mutual friend, Shona of Heyday, got in…
