Springing Into Action!

So it looks like Spring is well and truly on its way, so to celebrate...

We went shopping!

Aimee - Here is a late 40's crepe dress I bought from a stall on

Portabello. I decided that I should vary my colours, so here is one of the

first baby blue things I have! I really like baby blue with red! I have

rollered hair with a 40s marcel wave. I'm thinking of doing a tutorial on

this hmmmm....My dress is accessorised with a ribbon belt and little

bakelite buckle from Harriett's collection. In my hair are sweet silk 40's

flowers, also borrowed from Harriett.

Harriett - I bought this early 40s cotton frock from Portobello from a

nearby stall for £30, due to a few holes it had in the side seam. A needle

and thread later though and it was ready to wear for a night out on the

tiles! I have been looking for a day dress for a while and I fell in love with

its bold print, white collar and bakelite buttons. My bag and shoes are

from charity shops, and the silk flowers from my collection! You may

also notice I cut myself a fringe, more photos to come I promise, as

well as a few tutorials on vintage 'do's' with bangs!

Harriet - We also bought matching bakelite bangles! We have been lusting after all things

bakelite for quite a few months now and are very proud to have our own set, heres a fun

game try and guess who's hand is who's? I leave you with a sneaky glimpse of one of

our moves that we have picked up from our recent swing classes!
