Forgive me, oh readers, this is a bit of a cheat post. I just read lovely Retro Chick’s Christmas outft post & wanted to rip off her idea. But because I’m nothing if not resourceful and have done this in the past, I’m basically reposting almost exactly what I did last year. But this blog…

Having a Grape Old Time!
It’s about time I took a foray back into the more distant past for a fresh King’s Ginger adventure. Luckily enough, I have had one up my sleeve for a few months, ready to unleash on my loyal readers at the most opportune moment! This particular story revolves around sparkling wine (and horses), and what…
The Seven Years of Blogging Christmas
When you’ve been blogging as long as me (8 years next year), you’ve accumulated a lot of photos of Christmases past. In the interests of nostalgia and laziness, I thought I’d take you back in time to my many and varied (and not-so-varied) vintage Christmas outfits of the past! In a vaguely chronological order… Back…
Sales & Socials
A couple of years ago, I used to run the Sale & Social with my Vintage Mafia gals, but alas, those are consigned to history. I did have a marvellous time selling at the East London Vintage Fair last month, though and it’s happening again tomorrow so I encourage all you vintage-loving Londoners to go…
A Quiet Patch
A punny title as ever, for a simple outfit post. Haven’t done one of these for a while! Basically, this outfit represents the kind of thing I will probably be wearing most days during the spring (at least when it warms up). The outfit consists of the following. A signature Heyday Fleur dress, which was…
Subculture Clash
Clash… get it? 😉 I hardly ever model any more, through choice rather than because I never get asked. Sometimes I feel a little long in the tooth, which I know is rubbish, but also because I quite often get weirdly self-conscious if anyone sees me posing in public. That said, it is fun, on…
Bonus Boomstick Outfit Post!
Good afternoon. As is so often the way when I do photos for big articles like my last King’s Ginger one, I take a few extra photos for a super lazy outfit post. Because I *still* haven’t processed my holiday snaps, here is something of a holding post, featuring the outfit I wore to Purdey…
Waterlily love
Ever since I got into vintage clothing, Trashy Diva has been right up there as one of the best repro brands out there. Given that’s *cough* ten years this year… that’s a very long time! I have amassed quite a few of their dresses over the years and, without exception, they are all lovely –…
Pansies & Greenery
I have so many awesome things to write about but in the meantime, here’s just a straightforward outfit post! Everyone knows I love a good Swirl, but I haven’t bought one in ages! I just don’t look that often these days, due to funds and space. But I couldn’t resist this one. Pink pansies in…
A sundress of delight
This time of year, I’m surgically attached to my 1940s repro peasant tops, most of which are from Vivien of Holloway, that emporium of British-designed, British-made reproduction vintage. I recently did a rare spot of modelling for VoH, for their newest (old) creation, the Anna sundress and of course, they kindly let me have one. I…
