While entering mid-August does make me feel more than a little sad that summer is soon on its way out, there is one positive to the inexorable creep of the year. It’s coming round to one of my favourites events of the autumn, the most excellent Goodwood Revival. If you don’t know about the Revival…

Socks and sandals (and kittens)
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…
Turkey Part 1 – the Bodrum bit
Well, it’s only been nearly two months since I came back, but I thought I’d do some posts about my summer holiday… now that the sun is completely gone. It might work to remind me about when it was hot and my lovely summer clothes weren’t vacuum-packed into cotton bricks! I had the most amazing…
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…
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 –…
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…
Windy Weather
Just a quick outfit post for you today! I wanted to start incorporating some of my cotton summer dresses into my outfits after a long and boring winter, but I picked a particularly bad day to do it. I don’t really have enough slips or vests and today was cold, windy and, when we started…
Back to the Future (Cinema)
I’ve posted a few times about different Future Cinema events (side note: I think I’ve used the title pun before as well… oh well) but I haven’t been for a while, missing out on the Ghostbusters run they did at Halloween (total bummer) but last Sunday, I was lucky enough to go once again! Read on for…
The Mafia x MyDaily
A couple of weeks ago, myself and my Vintage Mafia amigas were lucky enough to be featured on MyDaily, a site which has a regular feature called My Vintage Wardrobe. I’ve known a few people who’ve starred on there before and they are, to a woman, fabulous. So it was an honour to be asked…
Still a big Fan
(…of fans!) Stop Press! It’s time for another frock announcement – if you don’t want to read about another in my ongoing series of dress collaborations with Heyday, look away now! A long, long time ago… well alright, it was in about September last year, I modelled another limited edition Fleur dress in a beautiful…
