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
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 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!

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
