Hackney Hipsters for one day only
Just a quick note to let you know we’ll be hanging out in so-hip-it-hurts Hackney tomorrow (at ‘Stokey Village Hall‘, to be exact). We’ll be at the debut Hackney Flea with our tschüss! collection, and so too will plenty of other independent creatives – come along if you’ve not much planned. Full deets below… h our

Technicolour boots, shredded denim and sunshine
While the sun was beating down on what’s probably been the hottest day of the year so far, last Saturday saw us and our tschüss! collection take to Pratts & Payne in Streatham for The Vintage Event. What a beautiful pub too – it’s reclaimed décor including old wardrobes, records, and retro radios made for the…

California dreaming
This list of swoon-worthy American brands I own is booming – first, it was Spanish Moss – the site that not only sells some of the best vintage pieces that I’ve seen in a long time (if a little overpriced), but also exudes an air of raw femininity. For a good decade or so I’ve lusted…

The Doors – Love Street
People have told me countless times that I’m, “A bit of a hippie at heart”. The thing is, I never, ever really thought that myself. It’s taken me over thirty years – and one moment this morning while waiting on a train, dressed in a paisley print dress; agate slice pendants looped around my neck; suede…

The Vintage Event at Balham Bowls Club
As the sun shines and Londoners put the riots to the back of their minds, today was a day of celebration for all – at least in Balham, where the Vintage Event came to town. The event is organised by a mother and daughter duo and plotted itself up in the most perfect of locations;…

A crafty lady named Messy Jesse
In the Eco Office, it would seem we’re a bit of a creative bunch. Between us, we have photographers, writers, bloggers, musicians and even a gymnast! The most common pastime, however, would appear to be that good old fashioned skill – sewing. One of our in-house seamstresses is Messy Jesse, a lovely bubbly little lady…

Downpours and inventions at Vintage Goodwood
On Friday afternoon, after a few back seat beers and cheesy poofs, we arrived at Vintage Goodwood just in time for the heavens to open, as if on command and right as we began to pitch our tents. Thankfully, the boys became men (momentarily at least) and allowed us ladies to saunter off in the…

Love Thy Vintage
A few of the lovely ladies in The Fashion Office often comment on how many vintage dresses I own which made me realise quite how much of a retro hoarder i am. So as I’d previously decided to do a bit of a bank holiday wardrobe de-clutter, I thought I’d share a few of my…

‘And Mary’ Launch Beautiful Boutique Jewellery Site
A few months ago, my lovely friend Alison left the big smoke and headed back to the fair land of Scotland. Bidding adieu to her job as a Buyer for fashion chain Joy, she took up a role as an agent for a bounty of cool and original brands. Since then, not only has she cranked…

It’s official: my dad is the coolest
Check him out – this is one cool dude. He’s suave, he’s uber fashionable (or at least he was in the 70s) and best of all, he’s my Dad. Last week, i asked him what was the most rock and roll thing he had ever done, to which he replied; “some things parents don’t tell…
