Hi there,
I’ve loved vintage style all my life, my affinity with it probably started with watching High Society, Bringing up Baby and Singin’ in the Rain repeatedly as a child!
I loved the clothes, hair and makeup, and so, when I was invited to my cousin’s wedding and the dress code was 1940’s to 1950’s, I was thrilled. I discovered Vivien of Holloway and amongst the swishy dresses and petticoats, I felt like I had found my home.
I couldn’t wear my lovely dresses to my cousin’s wedding though, as I found out I was expecting my second child, so I promised myself that as soon as I could wear my dresses again, that would be all I wore, and the rest is history, or at least vintage…
I also ran a Vintage Tearoom for a while, which I enjoyed immensely. It was a pretty little place with vintage china, yummy cakes and even a toy tea room for the children. When I left it to go back to teaching, I felt lucky to have met lots of lovely people and taken good memories with me.
Just lately, I have been really trying to challenge myself to become more involved in life, so I’ve been learning to dance, going to more events and generally jumping in with both feet a bit more!
As part of this, I was inspired to start this blog. Hope you like it! Xx
