Review: Dolly & Dotty Veronica dress
Long-time readers of the blog may remember my review of the Dolly & Dotty May dress (which, coincidentally, I reviewed in May last year). I loved the dress, so when the nice team at Dolly & Dotty asked me if I'd like to review something else, I jumped at the chance. The Veronica is a… Continue reading Review: Dolly & Dotty Veronica dress

V is for Vintage: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
So, after an accidental and impromptu two-week holiday (time just got away from me!), I'm back and ready for the last few weeks of my A-Z of a vintage girl in a modern world. And of course, there's only one thing I could talk about this week, and that's vintage! You may remember my post… Continue reading V is for Vintage: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
U is for Under Garments: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
Underwear, undergarments, foundation wear, that uncomfortable stuff under your outfit...call it what you will, it can be a pretty important part of dressing vintage. It doesn't have to be, of course, but for me, wearing something vintage-inspired underneath my dresses makes my outfits feel a little bit more special. In the run up to our… Continue reading U is for Under Garments: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
T is for Twinwood Festival: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
Ah, T - stands for Toblerone, tolerance, tenacity - lots of awesome words. But perhaps my most favourite of all, Twinwood Festival! A long-standing date in many a vintage-lover's calendar, I've been going to for the last eight years. Long-time readers will remember me talking about Twinwood Festival in the past (if you're new to the… Continue reading T is for Twinwood Festival: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
R is for Vintage Reproduction Brands: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
As a vintage-loving girl with a waist that's really rather a lot larger than ladies from the 1940s and 1950s, reproduction vintage clothing is a somewhat vital addition to my wardrobe. Luckily for me, there are lots of fabulous repro brands around. These - in no particular order - are my favourites: The House of… Continue reading R is for Vintage Reproduction Brands: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
P is for Pinups: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
I would like to start with a good old-fashioned THANK YOU to everyone who voted for me for Miss Vintage UK. I am so very, very excited to be able to tell you that I'm through to the final, which will take place during Twinwood Festival at the end of August, eeek! More to come… Continue reading P is for Pinups: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
L is for Lipstick: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
A girl can never have too many lipsticks. Especially when she's a vintage-loving girl with a passion for the 1940s and 1950s, when they loved a bold lip. While red was almost everyone's favourite colour during the 1940s (I'm reliably informed), in the 1950s, pinks, corals, and all manner of other lovely shades were becoming… Continue reading L is for Lipstick: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
J is for Jewellery: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
Happy Sunday, one and all! I'd like to start with two very, very exciting pieces of news. The first is that my second guest post, a condensed version of this very A-Z, is now live on the fabulous Pin Up Persuasion blog. I'm so, so grateful to Jessica for the opportunity, and once you've read… Continue reading J is for Jewellery: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
