Jewellery joy


The cherry on top of so many vintage outfits often lies in the jewellery. We've managed to get some lovely vintage-inspired bits of jewellery in this week - perfect for adding a touch of retro kitsch to your wardrobe...

Sunny summer dresses




Well the good weather seems to be holding out (over a week of sun!) and so many of my customers have been browsing the shop looking for sweet summer dresses. I think that I'm going to have to stock up if the past week is anything to go by... Here's a couple that have just come in and are spreading some summer joy around the place.

Creepily cute



I had to do a quick post about these cute prints - I stumbled across them while trying to find inspiration for a mother's day card. I totally love the kitsch (and am I allowed to say slightly nightmare-ish?!?) flavour of these images created by Hannah - check out the link for lots of similar pics and other goodies that she has crafted.

Hula hula



A bizarre event occurred in Bristol last week - the sun came out for a day! Even though I was working inside, it really felt like spring was finally starting to break through. And of course that led me to daydream about summer holidays... A couple of lovely things came into the shop that really made me wish I could be sashaying across a Hawaiian beach, pina colada in hand and the dulcet tones of a ukulele drifting over the sands...
Better get back to reality - but if you feel the need to re-create your own bit of vintage-inspired Hawaii, this gorgeous top and dress are in the shop now!
