#103 Mad Women

Wowza, Do you watch ManMen? What an amazing influence that this program has had on fashion eh ladies?

This 50's inspired sweetheart with a darling crosshatch fabric is from Closet for Dorothy Perkins.

Dotty P's have a great range of pencil dresses but this one caught my eye as it sits just below the knee line rather than the usual, frustrating and all to frequent mini dresses of this ilk.

And as Roger Dtirling would say "When God closes a door, he opens a dress"

Dotty P's       £42

#102 From the cover of 1930s Vogue to Top Shop

This stunning satin dress could have been worn by Rita Hayworth, it's so fabulous. Imagine this with a white long fur stole draped around the neck and some long silk opera gloves. And it clings to all the right places in all the right ways!

#101 Missy L love Missy S

Need a coat to keep you toasty this winter? But still want to look classic and classy?
Well pop along to Miss Selfridge... I did!
They have too many wonderful vintage inspired coats on sale at the moment, garenteed to keep you warm but looking great and with the upcoming cold snap, we all need a bit of warmth, don't we ladies?!

This military style jacket is fussed up with the playful ruffles, this jacket is available in other colours and even a mac version but I do have a soft spot for this earthy colour. Actually,  I loved this so much I bought it!

Miss S          £75.00

There is nothing that says 50s chic than a bit of leopard print and this is screaming it! Matching colour a cuffs and the slanted pockets add perfect, detail to this wonderful trench.

Imagine this with high, high hair and a splash of red... Sassy!

Miss S       £85

I'm speachless.... I just wish I saw this first... Well maybe I should have two coats for winter.

Miss S...... £85












This 30s/ 40s style faux fur just oozes class.... The layered cut fur adds a certain je ne said qua.  Imagine stepping through the wardrobe into this sweetheart! And too make it even more attractive, it's in the sale too!!!

Miss S.           £75

This lovely 60s inspired coat, calls for some cream wool tights, a mini dress and some black pumps and maybe a nice big fur hat! 

pretty as a picture, Miss S.       £85












Keep warm and have a snuggley winter xxxx

aaaaand #100 The wonderful John Lewis!

Yes, John Lewis has opened in Exeter and I just had to go... What did I find? A veritable feast of vintage loveliness and here are just a few...

This Ghost dress could have easily stepped off a 1930's catwalk. The line, the cut, the fabric...

Stunning for a special night out!

Ghost dress   £195

And another! This dress, with it a-symmetrical lines and the fabric cut on the bias, with the button detail could have been seen on any silver screen startlet!

Ghost dress     £195

And from Ted Baker, this little faux fur number, the 40s inspired 3/4 length sleeves are just asking for a pair of evening gloves, the length of the jacket could be worn with anything from a kilt to a silk evening gown and being faux, it's guilt free .... I will be saving my pennies for this one...

Ted Baker      £229

This gorgeous poncho, is just stunning, imagine Dietrich sashaying around in this little sweetheart by Ted Baker for £119 (not cheap, but it will never go out of style)

And from Phase Eight... Polka Dots!!! There's not much I can say about this 50s inspired dress that va va voooom!

Phase Eight      £99

This lovely little dress has all the oriental overtones that 40s - 50s ladies craved. The sheer over dress with damsen design and wiggle cut would look stunning with an up do and a matching hair piece.

Phase Eight     £169

#99 How to spend £22 in Primark

So, my daughter was at a play date, I finished work early, my hairdressers appointment wasn't for a couple of hours, so what is a girl to do? Shop of course!

So, along with all my favourite vintage shops, I popped into Primark and what did I find?

Shoes, tights and a handbag for less than £25!

These cute little slip-ons, with a patent bow detail at only £10 where an absolute treat and the travel bag, an unbelievable £9 and only £3 for not one, but two  fishnet tights!

I am one happy camper right now!

#98 That Coat!

It's that coat from the advert! I want this coat so badly, each time the advert comes on and this coat gets strutted by that amazing looking woman, I literally drool...  I'm now willing the weather to go bad... When the sun comes out I shake my fist to the sky and damn mother nature!

Marks and Spencer       £129
