  • 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…

  • Saturday at the BBC

    Yesterday Jess from Roamkix and I headed down to the Balham Bowls Club (sorry, not the television network!) for The Vintage Event. Since their first event in August, they’ve commandeered the upstairs of the pub too so we were sure to take a good nose around. The day was a little quieter than usual, though we still had a…

  • 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;…

  • 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…

  • Lace, Love and Louis de Gama

    A long time ago, I heard about someone who was making dresses out of old lace curtains.  Yesterday, I found Louis de Gama’s shop on Cheshire Street in London.  Jackpot. There’s four simple words I’d use to describe these dresses: I.  Want. Them. All. Made from soft flowing silk in nude shades, black satins, leather…

  • Meme: Seven things you didn’t (want to) know about me.

    I hadn’t heard the term meme until earlier this evening when a friend tagged me into one.  So, after discovering that a meme is essentially a digital chain letter, be it a photoshopped image or a link that becomes viral, it seemed rude not to help it on it’s way.  The task involved in this…
