I know winter is closing in on us from every direction, but it’s still warm enough to be wearing pretty dresses if you layer them up with a cute cardigan! Don’t you just love these pretty bow false eyelashes? I’m not sure how comfortable they would be to wear, but they look gorgeous, and you(…)
Judy Garland is one of those irresistable iconic women who I just can’t leave alone. I keep coming across things in vintage stores and thinking – ooh, that would look fab on Judy so I thought I’d do just *one* more. It more of a grown up outfit than my Tim Burton meets the Wizard(…)
I fell in love with this vintage 1970s polka dot trapeze dress as soon as I saw it – isn’t it fabulous? I think I’d wear it with some fabulous 70s-inspired gold accessories to give it a bit of a disco vibe. Love the Seventies! How could I not, I was born in the 70s(…)
It’s wedding season, so it got me thinking about how lovely vintage bridal styles are. When I got married nearly 11 years ago, I wore a 30s-inspired wedding dress – which I still love, but I love fifties style bridal gowns too. This vintage 50s dress in particular is so pretty!

I’m trying something a bit different today and thought I’d go for some mens vintage style inspiration courtesy of Gene Kelly. One of my first silver-screen crushes (I watched 40s and 50s movies even as a kid) – I loved how Gene Kelly managed to do wonderful dancing and still look really manly! Clockwise from(…)

Now, I’m not saying I’ll be wearing a 50s-style union jack corset to my street party for the diamond jubilee, but I certainly will be getting in the party spirit and knowing the British weather a union jack umbrella and matching champagne might well be perfect!

Chic and elegant, there’s nothing like a spot (geddit…?) of leopard print to make an outfit. That plus a slash of smooth red lipstick and you’re guaranteed to look stylish!
