Red carpet events offer the ultimate opportunity for celebrities to up the glamour stakes. Recently there's been a slew of vintage style looks as many stars take inspiration from the past for their killer red carpet outfits.

An Afternoon of Vintage Fashion in House, Leeson Street... ooh!


There's no doubt about it, if you take yourself out to any of the events in the Dublin Burlesque Festival this year then you're in for a treat.
For their night time events you can be guaranteed a raucous, surprising, sassy, hilarious and fabulous evening. 
But the Dublin Burlesque Festival likes to take things down a notch on Sunday Afternoon with their annual Afternoon Tea and Vintage Fashion Show.
While away a few decadent hours in glamour, perusing vintage fashion from the 1930's to 1950's. 
Dirty Fabulous will be one of the boutiques pulling out all the stops to excite and exhilarate the audience!
The afternoon tea will be held in a personal favourite haunt:

House on Leeson Street.


Sit back, relax and listen to the dulcet tones of Miss Truly Divine as the lovely models in with their vintage hair and make-up pass you by.


Can you think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon? We can't! See you there and don't forget to immerse yourself in the whole event and wear your vintage glad-rags!
Doors open at 1pm and the show starts at 2pm.

Tickets are limited so make it snappy and grab your tickets .   They include the fashion show and a scrumptious afternoon tea.

A Silken Cape








We practically jumped with joy when we saw Claire's email arrive into our inbox! Caroline and I were in love with the ivory silk, caped, vintage wedding dress that Claire chose from us and we couldn't wait to see it being worn on the day. She finished her bridal look with one of our bespoke feather headpieces.
Claire looked so beautiful on the day and the images captured by Sosac Photography clearly show what a wonderful occasion it was.
Just take a look at Claire and her new hubby Colm's first look to see what I mean!
Congratulations to you both x

Dahlink You're So Fabulous: Silver haired ladies

We've departed from drooling over vintage dresses to admire some ladies of a vintage age and how they are inspiring one of the current hottest trends!

That's right, we're talking about the silver tresses, timeless style and totally rockin' ladies who are advancing on in years.

I have aspirations galore to be like these women in later life... well heck, I'd like to be half as cool as they are now!!! They are totally fearless in their fashion choices and not remotely intimidated by today's youth obsessed society.

 These silver haired goddesses are so smokin' that all the hot young things are clamouring to look like them. Silver, grey and lavender locks are so in Vogue that many celebrities are coveting them. Even Dolce and Gabanna featured silver locks on their 2014 catwalk show.

It can even work for brides!

If  you'd like to take a leaf out of  these silver haired, style mavens, then the condition of the hair is vital, for women, both young and old alike. So, keep it clean, healthy and well nourished.

In terms of fashion, be bold, be brave and affect an attitude that tells the world that you know they wish they could be as cool as you!!!

Oh Gatsby!










Can't you just imagine the lovely Chloe as a guest at one of Jay Gatsby's wild and legendary parties! Wandering around the grounds of the manor in the early hours of the morning as she ponders on a romantic encounter from earlier that night. Her gorgeous vintage gowns are full of 1920's glamour and decadence.  What a talented team behind this evocative shoot!
