If you’re like me, you love a bit of nostalgia at Christmas. Plus since everyone I have to buy for seems to already have everything they need it’s nice to indulge in a little retro fun! I thought I’d share some of my favourites I’ve found whilst trying to find a Christmas gift for my(…)
After my post yesterday about the best women’s vintage outfits from this year’s Goodwood Revival, how could I not do a post on the men’s fashions on display too? After all men looked just as great (not to mention authentic); whether they were wearing RAF uniforms, sharp 1940s suits, 50s biker outfits or vintage racing(…)
I’m getting Goodwood Revival withdrawal now. It’s been a few weeks since that glorious vintage weekend and I’m feeling a little sad that I’ve got to wait another 11 months until it comes around again. I’ve been cheering myself up by looking at Matt Hind’s amazing photo portraits of the Best Dressed at Goodwood. Aren’t(…)
It’s time I broadened my vintage horizons. When I first started wearing vintage I took baby-steps and invested in easy little things: sunglasses, jewellery and other accessories which were easy to add to any outfit. As my confidence grew I started buying up vintage dresses, generally from the Sixties, and I love them, I really(…)
Is it morally acceptable to buy and wear real fur just because it’s vintage? This is a question I’ve asked myself quite a lot recently without really coming to a conclusion. To set the record straight, I feel strongly that wearing real fur is un-acceptable. I can’t conceive of any situation where it would be(…)
Sorry! It’s taken me a couple of days to sort through my photos and get a proper post together for Goodwood Revival 2013. We went on Friday and on Sunday and had the most fabulous time but we’re still recovering from such a busy weekend (we also managed to take my son go-karting, do some(…)
I’ve got an incredibly busy weekend, including Goodwood Revival, taking my 7 year old go karting, seeing friends plus lots of chores and other bits and pieces shoe-horned in between, but I thought I’d quickly post a few photos from Friday’s Goodwood Revival. I’ll do a proper post next week when I’ve got a little(…)
We had a great vintage family day out on Saturday at one of my favourite places: Brooklands Museum. The atmostphere there invariably transports me back to a bygone age and it’s always a pleasure to visit. If you haven’t heard of it before Brooklands Museum is the ‘home of British motorsport and aviation’. Brooklands is(…)
Waist training is one of those contentious issues which always get people talking. Some people adore a tiny waist, some people abhor them and others are simply fascinated by this kind of body modification. Either way it’s a theme very much relevant to most vintage enthusiasts. The most popular post on We Heart Vintage for(…)
Have you seen the new Audrey Hepburn advert for Galaxy chocolate? I think it’s only being aired in the UK, so I thought I’d share it here for everyone who hasn’t seen it yet. It came out about a month ago and I’m not really sure what to think of it. Audrey Hepburn has been(…)
Princess Diana was one of the most iconic and photographed women of the late 20th century, and so an auction of some of her most memorable dresses was bound to cause some interest. Probably the most famous dress in this collection was the midnight-blue evening gown by Victor Edelstein which she wore to dance to(…)
Do you yearn to embrace vintage fashion but don’t quite know where to start? Or find the whole idea of changing your image a bit daunting? So did I to begin with, after all sticking with jeans and a t-shirt is the easy option… But here are 5 easy ways to add a touch of(…)
A new trailer to Baz Luhrmann’s much anticipated The Great Gatsby has finally been released and I have to say it looks as sensational as I hoped. The costumes are by Prada and the diamonds by Tiffany and the whole look of it so far is delicious! I can’t wait! The annoying thing is that(…)
These are my 10 favourite pin up dresses! Whether you wear Rockabilly-style with tatoos and lots of attitude or cute and sexy with just a slick of red lipstick. I love all ten of these dresses. If I had to choose though think I would pick the With Only a Wink Dress. What do you(…)
Following on from my post about my top 20 best dressed women at this year’s Goodwood Revival, here’s my list of the top 20 men. I haven’t put them in any particular order. For some reason I found it even harder to choose which was my favourite this time! Which outfit do you like best?(…)
You might remember I went to Goodwood Revival a few weeks ago (you can see my post about the day here if you missed it). It was a wonderful weekend filled with vintage fashions and cars and I was delighted today to come across these wonderful photos of the best dressed people at the Revival(…)
I went to the Goodwood Revival on Friday – and what a fantastic day out! If you haven’t heard of it before, the Goodwood Revival is a 3-day long festival of fashion, cars and planes from the 1940s, 50s and 60s. You’re encouraged to dress up, and this gives the event a really special and(…)
