Another day another dollar. Or another week, another… dollar. Running a small business is hard! I’ve been having a mild panic this week but bought myself a big desk planner this morning (yes, you would think I should have had such a thing already) and am feeling a bit calmer already. Most of the day I have been editing pictures for the collection I’ll be putting into the shop for London 60s Week. Everything has already been cleaned, mended and photographed, so now I just have to edit all the images, measure, and write up descriptions. Everything is looking really great now it is together so I am quite excited about it. 60s week begins on the 22nd of this month and it is due to go live then, in conjunction with The Vintage Guide to London.

Hope you all have fun plans for the weekend possums. Tomorrow I’ll be meeting uber-blogger Wendy Brandes and some other gals for some Pimms while she is in London, but other than that things should be quiet. What are you all up to?

A book review of Retro Make-Up from Lisa at Snoodlebug, and one of the styles tested.

High end vintage fashion is really taking off in Australia. Article from the Sydney Morning Herald, sent to me by my eagle-eyed uncle.

This has absolutely nothing to do with vintage, but is a hilarious video clip from a Scottish comedy show that I hadn’t seen before: Whose Shoes Are They by Burnistoun.

I’d like to read Grace Dent’s book on leaving twitter, found via India Knight’s Posterous. The line on the front from Charlie Brooker already has me laughing: “Grace Dent is a singularly heartless individual who [has] none of my wussy qualms about insulting people.”

Style High Club has written a brief history of the dirndl dress in Germany.

The Downton Abbey girls are in this months UK Vogue! Very exciting, but where is Maggie Smith? She is the star of the show, I would love to see her in Vogue. It would have been even better if they had used ALL the women in the cast, not just the young ones.
