I've written about my love of The House of Foxy on the blog before (you can read about it here and here), so I was pretty darn excited when sister company Pretty Retro started popping up on my social media feeds, focusing as it does on affordable wardrobe staples inspired by the 40s and 50s. One of the… Continue reading Review: Pretty Retro shirt dress
The vintage crew goes to Kew
Today, I am suffering quite badly with hayfever (love the warm weather, hate the sneeziness that comes with it), and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders. I asked The Boy what I should write about, and he told me I should write about the amazingness that is the new Legend of Zelda game. He's… Continue reading The vintage crew goes to Kew
Hats, glorious (vintage) hats!
As some of you may know, as well as my blog I also write for She Might Be, an online community full of plus size fashion, beauty and a whole host of other fabulous things. One of my recent posts was all about my love of vintage hats, and as I've added a few more… Continue reading Hats, glorious (vintage) hats!
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

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
X is for eXciting news!: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
This week's blog comes to you from my comfy sofa, where I'm under a duvet with Agent Carter on in the background (side note: I want ALL the costumes. All of them. If someone can point me in the direction of someone who can recreate them, I'd be ever so grateful). Especially this dress: I've… Continue reading X is for eXciting news!: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
W is for Wedding: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
Ok, I admit it - this week's blog is basically just a reason for me to talk about our wedding again, because I loved it quite a lot. New readers - this blog started out as a wedding countdown, so if you fancy reading the ramblings of a relatively stressed out bride (with what I… Continue reading W is for Wedding: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
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
