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

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
M is for Most Marvellous Meet Ups: The A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World
Blimey, we're halfway through my A-Z of being a vintage girl in a modern world. How did that happen? It feels like I only started it 5 minutes ago. And I'd like to commemorate the fact we're halfway through with a very special blog post, talking about Most Marvellous Meet Ups. Regular readers will remember me… Continue reading M is for Most Marvellous Meet Ups: 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
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
Review: Judy’s Affordable Vintage Fair, Cambridge
A couple of weekends ago, we had a little bit of sunshine, which was very nice indeed. Even nicer was The Boy turning to me on Friday night and saying, "Didn't you want to go to a vintage fair tomorrow? Shall we go?" He's nice like that. So, off we headed to Cambridge. We parked… Continue reading Review: Judy’s Affordable Vintage Fair, Cambridge
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
Review: Dolly and Dotty May Dress
Hello my loves! It's time for a blog bonus post, hooray! As long-time readers of the blog will know, I love Dolly and Dotty's vintage-inspired dresses (I took the Poppy dress to the Isle of Wight and had a whale of a time), so when they asked me if I'd like to review one for… Continue reading Review: Dolly and Dotty May Dress
