Off To The Races

Whether you're in the midst of race season or already planning for ladies day next year, take a little time to soak up these inspiring vintage images.
One of the things we adore about vintage fashion photographs is how complete every outfit was; from the make-up, headpieces, gloves and hat, each was an important element.
Every accessory was coordinated  and no detail overlooked. A flawless finish was de rigueur. 
Vintage fashion is a fabulous place to start to searching out interesting style ideas that you know are going to be classic, playful and oh so chic! 
Probably the most important aspect of any Race Look is the hat. It's the ultimate accessory and so important that sometimes people start with the hat and then match the dress! We have an incredible and extensive collection of vintage hats from the 1930's to 60's in stock.  Just take a peak at a few of them further down and some example of how they could be styled with our vintage dresses.

Happy St Patrick's Day - we're proud to be Irish!

It's time to pull out ALL the green from your wardrobe!
St. Patrick's Day is a time for family fun, maybe a parade in the pouring rain, a hot whiskey and all the green, white and gold you can imagine!
Whether you spend the day in hiding or go the whole hog we have a long weekend to think about, and cherish our Irishness. We love our little country and the people in it so we'll be kicking up our heels with the kids and most likely dressing like an Irish flag!
Maybe we'll take some inspiration from these glamorous ladies of the 40's and 50's , or maybe we'll look like bedazzled shamrocks...you'll have to wait and see!!!
