I don't remember when I first found out about vintage-inspired lingerie brand Mal Amora but it was definitely on Instagram, as I pretty much live there these days, and it was most likely when Karolina Laskowska shared a photo of a custom set back in January. I was excited to discover that, not only does... Continue Reading →
It’s been over six months since the start of the Lockdown Clothing project, and everyone’s lives have changed considerably since we first began collecting stories of how people are dressing under lockdown and quarantine. Oh Golly! Miss Dolly! answered the original questions back in May 2020 and this is what she told us when we... Continue Reading →
Last June, I visited a lovely pin-up pop-up shop at The Old Truman Brewery in east London in order to try on a few Love ur Look dresses that I had been ogling online. It was loads of fun and so, when I heard Ronke was running it again, I knew I had to make... Continue Reading →
I never thought I'd miss that navy blue polyester dress. Every time I buckled the skinny belt around my waist, it felt like I was leaving my individuality in my bedroom. Even though I brought my own twist to the uniform as much as I could, through my jewellery and how I styled my hair... Continue Reading →
This month's Lust List doesn't have an alliterative theme - partly because I couldn't think of one, and partly because I didn't want to end up having to do that every month - so instead I've chosen an independent retailer to make my selections from. I was introduced to Revival Retro and its owner, Rowena... Continue Reading →

As someone who loves vintage-inspired clothing - because finding actual vintage clothing that fits when you're above a UK size 10 can be rather tricky - I was drawn to their cute designs and also their tag line, "pretty...

I've become somewhat obsessed with leopard print over the last few weeks and so I suppose it was inevitable that September's Lust List has become rather animal. The problem with this type of print is that there's a lot of it around but, especially in underwear, the vast majority is really not very good at... Continue Reading →
I first wrote about Love ur Look last year and have been keen to try on some of their lovely vintage-inspired dresses ever since. Well, it finally happened this weekend, as Love ur Look are running a pop-up shop with Lady K Loves, Silly Old Sea Dog and Innabox over at the Old Truman Brewery... Continue Reading →
I've got a few vintage-inspired pieces from Tara Starlet in my wardrobe and have always loved their super cute take on retro styles. Taking inspiration from the 40s, 50s and 60s, designer Tara Scott mixes classic styles with quirky prints and a beautiful colour palette to produce her eye catching collections, and now she's gone...
