    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I often get elderly men winding car windows down and blowing kisses to me!

    From mother to daughter

    I'm glad you like them wahine x I like dainty watches very much, as I have tiny wrists, so I really would like to get at least one of these going again. My husband got a pocket watch fixed about three years ago and that cost him £100, so I think it'd probably be comparable, if not more. The...

    From mother to daughter

    Thank you Paul. The clothes horse recently fell, folded, onto my bare foot, my goodness it hurt! I would like to get the watches fixed, it's a skill I would like to learn as we also have a Westclox that got overwound and every time I see it, it niggles at me!

    From mother to daughter

    I didn't inherit anything from my grandparents, mostly everything I have from my grandmother was salvaged when her house was being cleared after she died. No one wanted any of these bits, which was lucky I suppose as they got to come home with me. Lots of lovely furniture was left in the house...

    Thank you! I am now ever hopeful I find the twin to the enamel rocking horse brooch I also used to have.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Hehe, it is very cute! I thought it was the best thing I had ever seen when I was little and had forgotten about it until I saw it again and felt like I had gone whooshing back in time! I actually felt a little jittery!

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I got these earrings from the junky type tray in a little antique shop and the 1950's brooch is exactly the same as one I was given to play dressing up with as a kiddie but which went missing, so I was very excited to stumble across this one in the same shop.

    Art Deco Architecture -Photos-

    You're so right Mr. Godfrey, it looks terrible. Our modern cottage, the previous owners put in uPVC and I loathe them, but we weren't in the position to be picky about the windows sadly. There's a place in London with a road is scattered with art deco houses and very few have the original...

    What made you fall in love with retro beauty?

    I grew up with my grandparents, so old films were always a part of my life. It was entirely the norm for me, hence why my childhood crushes were Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant and Charlton Heston. Ladies I adored were Bette Davis and later Audrey Hepburn. I must say though, that I...

    Art Deco Architecture -Photos-

    Some British gems. This is now a chemist in Emsworth, Hampshire Southend-On-Sea, Kent. Most of the original Crittle windows have sadly been replaced with uPVC. The only remaining ones I can see are above the main entrance doors. Leigh-On-Sea, Kent

    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    I get very shy around people who aren't famous lol and have a tendency to get star struck so I've not many many people anyone would have heard of. I have met a lot of people from bands and what not, the most famous I would say being The God of Hellfire himself, Arthur Brown. Oh and I met...

    Leatherheads - The Movie

    I loved George in O Brother, Where Art Thou? so I'm hoping he'll be as good in this one. I saw a bit of a trailer featuring fisty-cuffs which amused me lol

    Trouser gals

    With hips two sizes bigger than my waist, finding trousers that fit properly is a nightmare as even if I can get them to fit, I then have to get them long enough in the leg too which is near impossible. The so called high waisted trousers I recently purchased are just below my belly button...

    Do you ever think you are going insane?

    My step-dad once left the keys in his car with the windows down, all day and all that night and for most of the next day. Considering where they live, it was a wonder it made it to the afternoon of the first day without going walkies.
