There haven’t been many years since around 2008 where I haven’t thrown a Halloween party, either with my friend Ruby who owns Fontaine’s Bar in Dalston, or the Vintage Mafia. This year combined both into the Mortuary of Madness, a horror hospital-themed party the VM threw at Fontaine’s! Apart from Jeni’s costume getting lost in…

Typical a-Typical
Hooray, huzzah, hoorah! The access to my Flickr account has been restored! While I get on with editing and uploading photos for my very overdue King’s Ginger blog, here are some I didn’t take earlier. The very gorgeous Miss Turnstiles, aka Simone of the perfect hair and amazing wardrobe, has been busy in the last…
Roll up to the Ric Rac Club!
A couple of weeks ago, the other two Vintage Mafia girls and I put on another Ric Rac Club. This time, not to be outdone by our previous efforts, it had a circus theme! We left our costumes to the very last possible minute as we were all too busy organising to think about them……
Bath time! Bath in Fashion & the Secret Tea Party
Two weekends ago, I had the distinct pleasure of going to the glorious city of Bath for the Bath in Fashion week. Or, more specifically, for the vintage day of Bath in Fashion week. I’d been invited to come and do a little talk about wearing vintage and also being a blogger at Mrs Stokes’s…
Vintage London: Eating, drinking & dress up
Oh hi! How are you? You’re looking fabulous. It must be because the sun’s out in the UK and everyone looks so much sexier all of a sudden. I still have lots of things to tell you about that I’ve already done but before I do, I have two awesome things to tell you about…

What a cow. The Vintage Tea Party Year is just fabulous in every way. From its gorgeous die-cut cover, illustrated to perfection by…
Now taking BOOKings…
Always one for leaving things to nearly the very last minute, I think it’s about time I filled you all in on a very exciting thing, a very wonderful person, and a very fabulous event that’s taking place this weekend. If you’re on Twitter (and even if you’re not), you will probably have heard about…
Delicious literature
Regular readers will know that over the last couple of years, I’ve occasionally moonlighted (can you moonlight when you don’t have a steady job? Anyway) for Angel Adoree’s rather lovely company, Vintage Patisserie. Angel is a woman with a passion, a talent and a drive that exceeds that of everyone else I know. I’m proud…
Sales and Socials
Hello and a very glorious Monday to you. I do hope you’re well! This post will be part review and part preview, and if you don’t want to know all the gory details about The Vintage Mafia’s forthcoming Ric Rac Club, then look away….now! Firstly, a few pictures. We had our now monthly Sunday Sale…
A-rounding up I shall go
Good evening everyone! I hope you all had splendid weeks and weekends? Last week was jam-packed for me, with my first-ever tap dancing class, the monthly New Sheridan Club meeting, two shifts as a glamorous vintage tea party waitress, and last but not least, two splendid nights out at the weekend. Tap dancing is something…
