Wearing vintage nightwear

I just love vintage nightwear, lets face it you simply can't compare modern pyjamas to the glamour of a floaty frilly 1950's pink dressing gown embellished with tiny pretty flowers. The nighties and dressing gowns are in abundance at jumble sales and charity shops. So if you'd like your dreams to be spun in gold in metro goldwyn mayer style I'd pop off and pick one up : )

The vintage driving gloves


You simply have to have a pair of vintage driving gloves... I picked this pair up from a charity shop for 50p they were brand new still with original tag 1960's, they are a must have for driving just so chic especially when worn with a floral tea dress at the wheel, because it's all about how well you look and not how well you drive..
beep... beep...

The vintage bag



The vintage bag, It's a 1970's Burberry and I love it,love it, love it, it has that retro 70's look and has loads of essential room inside. you just have to get one of these, they go for quite a bit of money, but just save up or keep hunting around those charity shops, because you just never know your going to find...... have fun ......

The vintage Victorian blouse



These Victorian blouses were really the in thing in the 1970's, pretty and feminine usually in cream cotton, they look great with dark jeans. You can get them in charity shops or if your feeling creative add cotton lace to a plain blouse you already have Enjoy!!!

The vintage festival dress


The vintage festival dress, long 1970's pretty floral maxi dress, what can I say.......hides a multitude of sins is cool in the hot summer, groovy and ditsy I just love them, get out hunting the charity shops to bag yourself one and hippy it up with a wide brim straw hat and huge sunglasses, groovy man!!!

The vintage dog

Every girls gotta have a vintage doggy and this is mine (Bailey) his favourite place to picnic is Primrose hill and likes nothing more than a cappuccino outside a pretty bistro.....

Wearing the vintage headband


The headband...here shown in 80's style with matching frilly top in teal. You can pick these scarfs up from jumble sales and charity shops for a few pence and they're much nicer than the high street ones as they have original vintage prints and shades. Lighten up your face and stand out in the crowd, for styling think... The breakfast club, Pretty in pink or Ferris Bueller's day off...have fun!!!
