Teaser, taster, tweed & jaeger

 Just as you are about to maroon my overactive blog, I am going to throw at you this vampish look. Yes, I have more of that to come which will sweep you off your stilettos {or your vintage bike perhaps?}


So grip onto your handlebars and get ready to storm London, as we are heading into what it looks like a traditionally British summer. Thence I suggest you rethink your bikinis and get some serious layers out...and a pump....just in case...

Back in Shoreditch, roaming through The Vintage Fair

Once again East London has showed its nonconformist side of things by hosting The Vintage Fair at their Shoreditch Town hall. The place burst with the clothes rails and jewellery stalls, offering a wide range of retro frocks and selected paraphernalia. Nonetheless, the most frequented garments were those of 60's and 70's with a multitude of colourful tea dresses and oversized cardigans.

Eager fashionistas rummaged the clothes racks hunting for the coveted pieces, trying them on as they went.

Some traditional British cupcakes and tea were served at the cafe.

Succulent Chicago's 40's


Strenuous, stern, sensational and stimulating but is it really new?
This autumn Gucci couture played it safe- opting for a well-known but forgotten [they wish!] 
40's - embellishing the frocks with designers' colour interpretation, which admittedly looks absolutely stunning...other than that we've seen it all before. But still, an intricate colour of pickled cherry and variations of all possible fruits in their 'rottening' metastases in place of usual kaki, shitty and vomit-like-ochre crossed with boggy greens (if in tweed) - very nice indeed.
Thank you for a reminder. 

And today's inspiration Ayn Rand 'The Fountainhead'
and definitely her Dominique Taggart from 'The Atlas Shrugged'
