So, I lied. I didn’t make it back for another post before Christmas. And I’ve been pretty much abstaining from the internet since – occasional social media monitoring and stuff excepted. And I did take a nice dress to wear on Christmas day, but ironing fatigue combined with the fact I’d left my camera turned…

It’s all Balls
Don’t worry, this post is entirely safe for work, containing no anatomical balls whatsoever. Except, perhaps, for the nagging ache in the front part of your feet after twirling the night away. I’ve been invited to the Kensington Palace Midwinter Ball on Thursday night and it looks like an amazing night, so I wanted to share…
The Vintage Tea Party Year… party
Oh Angel Adoree. One of the most wonderful, talented, hardworking and generally awesome ladies I know. She’s beautiful and successful, with a brand-new and soon to be best-selling book out right now. What a cow. The Vintage Tea Party Year is just fabulous in every way. From its gorgeous die-cut cover, illustrated to perfection by…
Stick of Rock, Cock?
I realised late last night that I never posted any of the smashing photos from last month’s rather good New Sheridan Club Summer Party, so it’s about time I rectified that. Here goes! For those that don’t know, the NSC has two big parties each year, in addition to the monthly meetings, and this year’s…
A night of delight
Do forgive my complete lack of posting this week. It’s been a mad one! Did some filming for a new advert, started a new course, caught a debilitating cold… you know. The usual. But I couldn’t let another day slip by without posting up a few photos from last weekend’s Ric Rac Club, which was…
Tick Tock/Ric Rac
As the minutes count down towards Saturday, you’ll forgive me for doing a few promotional posts to ensure that the very first Mafia night is a roaring success. We’re already nearly 60% sold out, but this is the final push to prompt anyone who is sitting on the fence about attending to take decisive action!…
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…
Two Girls, Two Cups…
…and five lovely boys. It could be the name of a decidedly suspect DVD, but actually it was something far more wholesome. Well, wholesome-ish. Last weekend, I went on a rather smashing mini-break in the Cotswolds, darling. It was a friend’s birthday. He turned a practically child-like 24 years old, and, having grown up in…
The day I overdosed on cake
Thanks all so much for your wonderful comments on my last blog. I’m glad to know I am not alone in my radical vintage mixing opinions…! So then – Royal Wedding day. An occasion I professed to be slightly ambivalent about (yes, rather than ambiguous as I wrote in my last blog, genuine thanks to…
Winter footwear & a final party plug
I sometimes curse my parents for feeding me so much fluoride and calcium as a child. While it’s lovely to be strapping, strong and healthy, I never had any chance of having lovely, dainty feet. If I’d been around in the 1940s, aside from all the other drawbacks mentioned in my earlier post, I’d have…
