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

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

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

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

N is for (Vintage) Nails: The A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

Happy Sunday, one and all! Today, as we've reached 'N' in my alphabet, I thought I'd talk about vintage nails (although the character The Boy came up with while I was brainstorming topics, Nellie Nimbleson, sounded pretty darn interesting, so I may revisit her at a later date. Her favourite band is Nine Inch Nails,… Continue reading N is for (Vintage) Nails: The A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

K is for Keeping it Classy: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

I'm writing this the day after The Boy has left for a work trip, which makes me sad (partly because I promised to sort out the spare room while he was away, and I'm three hours in and still only about halfway through). I'm also writing this in the same room as what I  believe… Continue reading K is for Keeping it Classy: 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

H is for Hair Flowers & Happy Times: The A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

I am properly obsessed with hair flowers. I love them - they're a mega-easy way to accessorise an outfit, and can even bring a bit of summer sunshine to a dreary, drizzly November morning. Such is my obsession that when I went for my first job interview at where I now work, a friend whose… Continue reading H is for Hair Flowers & Happy Times: The A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

F is for Friends: A-Z of a vintage girl in a modern world

I would like to start this post with a heartfelt apology. I work with lots of lovely people, who are wonderfully supportive of this blog, and the things I do in my spare time. One of them even helpfully brainstormed potential topics for the letter 'E' last week, including elegance. While it wasn't my intention,… Continue reading F is for Friends: A-Z of a vintage girl in a modern world
