As I have a lot more time on my hands I’ve been trying new things with my hair and my wardrobe. So this week I wanted to try a new set, but just on my fringe. I’ve always wanted to achieve this type of wave on my fringe and I have so many vintage hairstyling books that outline the setting patterns. However, I’ve not have much luck with pin curls in the past. They tend to be too small and...

Recently, I’ve been noticing a common theme in discussions in a few of the vintage-style Facebook groups I’m in, regarding the definition of “Vintage” and other terms related to our community. It seems as though there is some confusion as to what constitutes a vintage garment, what “Retro” really means, and at what point is something considered “Antique”.
So at the risk of being the Pedantic Polly, I thought I would create a list of definitions that could be helpful. I...

I don’t know about you, but since I’ve been home so much lately, I’m starting to do things that I normally wouldn’t have the time or mental capacity to do. Such as going through my wardrobe and putting outfits together for no particular reason. I mean, I’m not going anywhere and I’m certainly not seeing anyone. But last week I started to really look at my clothing and I put a few outfits together of items that I’ve never...

I was invited to join a zoom event yesterday and the theme was “Spring Green”. I’m still on the hunt for that perfect green hat, however I have this green dress that I adore and thought I’d pair it with this phenomenal 1940s peach velvet toy tilt hat. I have been wanting an excuse to wear this hat and what better excuse than to get together with some lovely vintage friends for a chat.
