A couple of weeks ago, I went along to the always-fab What Katie Did shop in West London’s Portobello Road for a special evening event. It was, as the title of this post suggests, all about pyjamas, namely WKD’s loungewear range; and pincurls. Specifically, a class in how to do the latter! The class began…

Vintage Valentine Giveaway #2 – the winner!
Well, an astonishing 591 of you entered my competition with What Katie Did, and I now have the very great pleasure of announcing a winner. Picked at random by Katie (not sure whether it was electronically or with an old fashioned eyes closed/pencil method, but I assure you it was random), the prize goes to……
Vintage Valentines Giveaway #2
Following on from my Valentines Giveaway #1, the winner of which shall be announced later today, the brand I’ve partnered up with for my second Valentines giveaway hardly needs much introduction. They are a bastion of the vintage scene, providing the foundations for pinup bombshells’ and 40s re-enactors’ outfits – literally – for well over…
Vintage Valentine Giveaway #1
Good morning you gorgeous people! I have a rather exciting post for you today. But first, a question. Are you more of a sweet, cotton candy girl? Or a dark-hearted temptress? You’d better make your mind up, because by the end of this week, one of my readers, somewhere in the world, will win one…
Christmas crackers for vintage girls
Goooooooood Friday, everyone! It cannot have escaped your notice that it’s December tomorrow. The month of much eating, drinking and making merry at soirées, and the month of giving and receiving gifts. I wanted to highlight a couple of my newer sponsors in case you hadn’t taken the time to click on them, because they…
Chill in the air
‘At last’, I head so many of you crying, as you finally start digging out the wool. It’s not coming from my lips as I’m not a fan of autumn weather (golden leaves: yes, kidney chills as I try to cling on to summer clothes: no), but it does allow me to start talking about…
Katie of Hollywood
This is a public service announcement on behalf of all you vintage ladies of America. What Katie Did are coming to Hollywood! After months of planning and suspense, the WKD US boutique is opening at 7970.5 Melrose Avenue in a mere FOUR DAYS. For those that don’t know, Melrose is a long road (as they…
Boulder holders
Today ladies (and gents), I’m going to wax a little lyrical about brassieres. This post is prompted by a visit I made to Bravissimo, the underthings shop aimed at the curvier lady, whose bras start at 28D and end up at a KK cup. I can’t even imagine a KK cup. Except that it would…
Saucy Smalls from a Sponsor (and more!)
I don’t know about you ladies, but just like lipstick and good hair, there’s something about wearing good underwear that just makes one feel far more confident. I have to confess, that I am not all that rigorous about matching, though I do try to… tone my undies so they at least sort of go….
All a-Swoon
Hi all… I’m still here, although I’m feeling very down about a few things at the moment, and not much like blogging about my ‘glamorous life’, as it’s rather lost its sparkle at the present time. That’s why time between posting seems to be getting longer and longer… I’m sorry. Anyway, enough moping, let me…
