As any regular readers will know, I love Swedish Hasbeens a lot. I have many pairs and practically live in them in the summer. I also have a pair of winter boots I snagged at a too-good-to-resist sale price a couple of years ago, but, apart from those, my clog collection doesn’t get worn in…

I ♥ Miss Bamboo
I’d just like to take a moment to show some love to my lovely sponsor Miss Bamboo. She carries some of the best repro brands around, and her own line of dresses is just wonderful. You may remember the La Bonita dress from Chap Olympiads gone by… Already a bargain when we bought ours, I…

I’ve said it before and I will say it again – I have a problem with clogs. A cloglem, if you will. It was born when I was invited to attend the launch of Swedish Hasbeens first pop-up shop in London’s Brick Lane a few years ago. I chose a pair of nude sandals that…
Keen on Hasbeens
If you follow The Vintage Mafia on Twitter or Facebook, (and if not, why not), you will have seen that over the last month, we have teamed up with Swedish Hasbeens to offer discounts on their awesome A/W 13 range. Subtitled Victorian Gypsies, the colder weather collection is full of beautiful boots and shoes in…
Would go, Hasbeens
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who left me a comment on my recent post. It’s just hiding at the moment but it’ll be back. In the meantime, how about some fluff? Shoe-based fluff is just what today calls for. Last week, the Vintage Mafia got invited to the second coming…
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…
Maritime Monday
As much as I would have liked to have spent Monday by the seaside, on a canal, or even at a Lido; unfortunately, I had to spend it indoors. Working, and doing other such boring things. But at least the location gave me the opportunity to do another outfit post! Everyone loves a cheeky bit…
Lido lady
Today, I went with the rest of the Vintage Mafia to shoot some photos for The Retro Festival, which, if you’ve noticed the rather large advert to the right there, is one of the latest and most exciting sponsors of my blog! You’ll be hearing lots more about it on here over the next few…
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…
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…
