Summer colours

Good Monday, good people. Last week (or the week before, I am losing track), I posted a new King’s Ginger piece from a very beautiful garden. I only like to post a couple of me in KGL posts as obviously, the focus is meant to be on the lovely drink and not my face. But…

Elegance & Gowns – Glyndebourne Festival

Oh hi there! If you cast your mind back in time to a fortnight ago, you may recall I did a preview post about my upcoming trip to Glyndebourne, the festival opera. And go to Glyndebourne I did, so here is my review of the day. This is an account of what my eyes saw!…

Leopard and Lace(y)

Bonjour! And how are we on this chilly Monday? The temperature here has plummeted substantially over the last few days, and, as ever, I am not really prepared with much in the way of warm clothing. I still struggle slightly with opaque tights, even though I am not being quite so strict with my vintage…

No Ceremony – my vintage wedding shoot

Good morrow, good people! I have a large picture post for you today. A couple of months ago, I was lucky enough to be involved in a very wonderful photoshoot. It was a collaboration between lots of lovely ladies who are all in the wedding business, and particularly vintage weddings. I’ll let the pictures speak…

Bit Bobs

Yoo hoo! I did plan to put this up yesterday, but the cretinous people at o2 Broadband ruined that plan. I’d love to have a full day of internet connection at some point… but enough about that. I’d like to announce the winner of the Vintage Trudy card giveaway, before regaling you with some more…

Going against the flow

In my experience, most people who dress in vintage every day (whether head-to-toe, or just with a distinct retro flavour), have come to it through many years of experimenting with alternative fashion. If you click around on this blog, you might stumble across some photos of me as a teenager and in my early twenties…

Maximum Glamour

If I had a mere English pound for every remark I’d heard about not having the time to be glamorous, I could retire and simply just be glamorous without having to work. But the truth is, that as an inherently quite lazy person, my secret is to look like I’m high-maintenance, without actually putting in…

Sponsor Spotlight – Foxy Party Frocks

I originally posted this last night and took it down and posted something in its place. That’s now gone as well. This is probably not making much sense… basically I’d like to give my wonderful sponsor 20th Century Foxy their opportunity in the limelight at the top of my blog, and will promise my lovely…

Sponsor Spotlight – Pinup Parade

After rather a delay brought on by a dreadful spring cold I caught from the Whistling Tailor (and can’t seem to shake and am snuffling for England at the mo), I’m delighted to finally be able to introduce the next of my lovely sponsors, a super site which is run by a long-time online friend…

Sponsor Spotlight – Cherrymuffin Studios

I haven’t done one of these in ages, so I am delighted that my newest sponsor is such a fab lady with such a smashing company. Tattoed beauty Spooky Sally runs the world-famous Cherrymuffin Studios in Berlin, Germany. She is someone I’ve been aware of ever since I ventured into the world of pinup, but…
