Top tips for Twinwood Festival

Hello, lovely readers. It's been a while, and I'm sorry about that - there seems to be a lot and nothing going on all at once at the moment, and blogging has taken a bit of a backseat. I seem to have a lot of ideas for posts, but lack the discipline to sit down… Continue reading Top tips for Twinwood Festival

Hearts and Found review: Dorothy & Bonnie

Spoiler alert: I adore them both.   Before we get into the review, of would like to ask you lovely people a favour. I’ve entered Miss Vintage 2019 (exciting yet terrifying, no?) and to get through to the next round, I need to get votes, which means Facebook likes on my photo. If you have… Continue reading Hearts and Found review: Dorothy & Bonnie

Y is for (Say) Yes!: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

Happy Sunday y'all! (Hmm. I've never typed 'y'all' before. Not sure I successfully pull it off.) So, it's the penultimate week of my A-Z of a vintage girl in a modern world, and I wanted to take some time to talk about being positive and saying 'Yes!' to things, even when they're terrifying. I know that… Continue reading Y is for (Say) Yes!: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

S is for Stories: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

An avid people watcher (and I mean, really avid – I do it while we’re walking around the supermarket, it drives The Boy mad), I love making up stories about people I see going about their day-to-day lives. They’re probably doing something pretty mundane (especially if they’re in the supermarket), but in my head, they’re… Continue reading S is for Stories: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

Q is for the Queen: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

Happy Sunday folks! I'm writing this from my garden - I'm actually sitting outside, instead of being cooped up indoors and wondering whether it's going to be a light drizzle or torrential downpour outside. This makes me very happy indeed! (And of course, I'm keeping a close eye on that big grey cloud that's coming… Continue reading Q is for the Queen: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

I is for Inspiration: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

For the first time ever, this post is on a Monday, not a Sunday. But, I’m hoping that as it’s a bank holiday Monday, you’ll let me off. I was at a friend’s wedding, you see, and while it was absolutely spectacular (more to come in a future post), I had naff all signal. We… Continue reading I is for Inspiration: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

G is for Golly, Gosh: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

First things first, dear readers - there are only a couple of weeks left in the Miss Vintage UK 2016 public vote, and, having entered, I would dearly love to get in front of the judges. To do that, I need votes, by which I mean likes on my Facebook entry. If you have a… Continue reading G is for Golly, Gosh: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
