Blast to the past... Pan am Style

Now everybody thought hat Mad men was truly fantastic for vintage fashion, encompassing the attitude women at the time couldn't encompass into some fantastic clothing pieces that clearly made up for it!!  If you'r wanting some vintage attitude action though. My new ABSOLUTE favourite is Pan am... Not only does it have a fabulous cast including Christina Ricci, it manages to hit some great historical issues such as the attitudes towards race at the time, alongside a FANTASTICALLY FABULOUS wardrobe. Which gee we wish we all had!!

Ulyana- Photo set- As promised

Love these sunglasses great way to accessorize

Inspired already!

Love this High waist flattering on all!

Emerald green a fantastic 1940's colour
Flattering on most skin tones and to scream
Parisian chic add red lipstick...

Classic trench, camel tones have been
Huge this season! Mac's first sold in 1824
and made from rubberised fabric! Who said
fashion was impractical, hey??

That little black dress and a hand muff!
adding a skating accessory (see below looks)
that I'm oh so feeling this winter, and
making it grown up!

A-line skirts. For work we'll do 70's tweed,
but 1940's and 50's floral prints are Oh so big
for spring, and we have to stay ahead!

A GREAT winter trend. Fur has just been huge
keeping us all warm, shrug fur, long fur and shawl
fur, we love it all!

Stumbling upon Ulyana.

Ahhhhhhh, refreshing...

An exciting new find- Fabulous designer Ulyana Sergeenko, simply amazing. Exciting new pieces which work alone and create some fabulous pieces. You simply can't go wrong! The lovely thing about her pieces is how it embodies not only lady like glamour but, circular motions of a lady like shape. J'adore this.  It's defiantly inspired me, and after a some cheeky cocktails with the ladies this evening. I think that this evening has defiantly got me motivated for the new year! Set into gear more with plan vintage. Some buying dates in the diary, so I  can explore some fabulous haunts, all suggestions welcome. I'll fully report back on my return.

Ciao for now... and be sure to get hooked on some classic black and whites this christmas. My paps favourite 'Its a Wonderful life' may be one of mine and I'm also thinking the Audrey hepburn box set. Oh how I love a bit of Audrey.

Anyways I shall leave you with Ulyana pictures (see above), nighty night folks!

My Winter Vintage...

Sneaky piece of some of our 1st collection batch!!!

and don't forget to accessorise yourself vintage...

How the Brits do it!

Three key looks. Moss Channels 70's, whilst agnes pulls of the new boyish tailoring with ease. Think accessories, Bowler hats, brogues, boyish shorts to create an all round gamine look. As far as the 70's is concerned take it back with floral prints flares on both the sleeves and trousers and the biggest floppiest hats you can find to add an ere of feminine chic.

So I decided to have a go at every day Gamine Boy... brogues at the ready, chino's and rocking Bristish New Gamine this season

Take it back a notch, lets remember after all its all been done before...

Think VINTAGE tailoring, think KATHERINE HEPBURN...

Why Vintage?

With vintage clothing becoming, more and more popular, and being fronted by some of the worlds most inspirational stars
Such as Lily Allen, Dita von Teese, Daisy Lowe and many more, her are a view reasons we love to buy vintage, and why we believe its the way forward;

Price- vintage pieces on average work out far cheaper than buying from the high street, and yet ironically, I spend a good amount of time gauping and the fabulously merchandised pieces in stores such as Topshop and wondering which Northern quarter Thrift store I'd spotted something similar in, for a fraction of the cost. So a key reason to buy vintage! Wear vintage and live vintage.

Make a statement- The other reason vintage is now the way forward... Attended that party and found that the girl next to you is shockingly wearing exactly the same new season dress as you, but with horrific shoes. (Yes we know its a disaster) sat on the beech whilst everybody parades around in the same primark two piece?? Yes we feel your pain. With vintage pieces, your getting a one of vintage piece, a piece with a story, something exquisite and unique. Your statements far better made with vintage!

Creativeness- vintage clothes all have a story; its fantastic to imagine whom may have been wearing that 1960's dress? A political rights activist? The cereal packet family mom? You decide, and create your own stories!


So if your going to do anything... Do Vintage!
