Vintage at Home
It's the time of year for spring cleaning and I'm totally inspired by all the great interior design in Mad Men right now so I've been trying to spruce up my little flat. I'm aiming for an entirely vintage home, I'm not there yet but lots of little car boot sale knick-knacks are helping. What do you think?

My Favourite Things
It's been a while hasn't it. Oops.
Here's an excuse you won't be expecting. This week Matt (the boyf) and I hosted our first ever animal-themed clubnight. It was called Pet Sounds and it was at The Social. It was awholelottafun. So basically for the past couple'o'weeks I've been all consumed with pet disco related thingummies. Not too consumed to pick up some excellent new vintage bits and bobs from the Angels Vintage Sale and a couple of awesome car boot sales, but more on that later...
EXCITING NEWS OF THE WEEK: The lovely Lena from Queens of Vintage has asked me to be one of the site's Vintage Queens. I am SUPER excited! She asked me to send some pictures and I realised all my vintage photos tend to be of items I'm selling on ebay or things I've just bought and am a bit unsure about. So, this afternoon I set to work modelling all my favourite vintage outfits. Matt wasn't happy (as the only other person in the flat, he was designated photographer), but I think he did a pretty good job.

To cut or not to cut
I managed to snap up this amazing 70s dress on eBay for £13 with the thought of turning it up from a maxi to a knee length tea dress. Now that I've tried it on I can't bring myself to do it! I can see myself getting more wear out of it if I turn it up but I'm loving the length. What do you think?
*please ignore the fact I am sans makeup!

PS: I'd also like to say thanks to this massive pile of books I'm currently using as a tripod...
Mad Men dress
My new Etsy dress arrived from Allen Company Inc and it's even prettier than I anticipated. It's in pristine condition aswell, which is great considering it's vintage. My last two posts prove that I've been watching way too much Mad Men (or maybe just enough? depending on your point of view!). I've been coverting Peggy's wardrobe in particular and pondering her slightly short fringe (which Mia is sporting in her most recent post!). I'm pretty sure a short short fringe wouldn't work on me though so I'm sticking with my slightly too long 1970s aesthetic!
I've spend most of this weekend updating the look of our blog and also Mia's 1960s Bride blog, which if you haven't seen it, is a site devoted to her wedding! You can find out all about her search for the perfect vintage wedding dress!
ta ta for now,
