We love the atmospheric feel and our dresses look fab!
We've had a sneak preview of some of the wedding dresses our suppliers in NYC have for us and they are absolutely stunning, wait until you see them!
In the mean time for some amazing inspiration and drool worthy images have a look at:
This is my new favourite blog and it's making me want to get married all over again...believe me you will get lost in this site, have fun!

Give me those dresses!!!

For the last week myself and the hubby have been spending our evenings watching the box set of Mad Men and we're enthralled. We're coming to the end of season one and its just so good!!!
It's set in New York at the beginning of the 60's and the fashion is to die for, the women are complicated and i do just love to hate those roguish men.
It is the complete uniqueness of vintage fashion and the attention to detail that made me fall in love with it in the first place, which in turn made me seek out a few more original Hollywood vintage fashion icons:


Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina




The uber gorgeous Audrey again




1930's Hollywood Glamour

  • To have a weekly walk-in day were by people in the area can pop in at any time from 11-8pm every Thursday to have a browse without an appointment.
  • To allow myself and Caroline an amazing two days off every week, after working six days a week for 18 months we're super excited!!!
