A few weeks ago I took Mr D to see the hilarious adaption of ‘The 39 Steps’ at The Criterion Theatre in London. It was the third time I have seen it, which should tell you how brilliant it is! It is the play I always advise people to see if they are visiting [...]

Vintage jumper dress and long socks outfit
This vintage jumper dress is so cosy and warm that it has long been one of my winter staples, but somehow it has never made it onto the blog. Well the wait is over! Last week I went to visit my friend the Grasshopper in her new house. She made spaghetti and [...]
1920s Style in the Village of Shere
Last weekend I visited the little village of Shere in Surrey, which has a reputation of being one of the most picturesque in the whole county. Well, I haven’t visited every village in Surrey so can’t compare, but I can certainly confirm its immense prettiness, and say it is one of the loveliest [...]
Vintage Outfit: 1930s Style Floral Evening Dress
Gosh it has been a long time since I shared an outfit with you all. I do have some saved photos, but never seem to get around to posting them. This is an outfit I wore for a friends wedding last month. It was held at Westonbirt House, an extremely posh private school (think [...]
Vintage 40s Outfit with Head Scarf
This is the 40s style outfit I wore to the War and Peace Show I blogged about earlier in the week. Sod’s Law determined that after weeks of rain it would be gloriously sunny that day, so I was sweltering in my knitted top and woollen trousers. My friend Lena was in the same [...]
The Chap Olympiad 2012
The Chap Olympiad is always one of the high points in London’s vintage calendar. For those who have never been before it can be hard to describe, but essentially it is a sporting event for people who prefer laughter, dressing up, and carousing, over any pursuit of physical excellence. The aim of [...]
Embroidered 60s Dress on the Orient Express
Two weeks ago I had the mind-blowingly good fortune to spend a day travelling on the famous Orient Express with a group of chums. A full post gushing about how wonderful it all was will follow next week, but firstly here is the outfit I wore for the excursion. As you can see [...]
Hula Hooping in a Vintage Cricket Dress
These photos were taken quite a few weeks ago now, as you can tell by the state of my hair (before it was whipped into shape by the talented Claire Hair). This is about the only outfit I managed to get photos of while we were in York – the rest of the time [...]
Vintage Outfit: 70s does 30s Purple Maxi Dress
This is the outfit I wore to the vintage Jubilee party I wrote about last week. As you can see I have been practising my finger waves – I thought it would be difficult to master but actually they are quite simple once you have done them a few times. And it suits me down [...]
A Very Vintage Jubilee Party
The week before last I did something very original. Something not many people have done in this world. Brace yourself for an amazing surprise: I went to a Jubilee party. Now I have never made a secret of the fact that I am not in favour of the monarchy as a modern-day system of [...]
