Something for the Evening Madame?

All my previous blogs have mainly been about day wear, so it's about time that I put some of my beautiful evening wear on show.

Most of the lovely items I have are from the 60s and 70s and are great for the summer trends. I absolutely adore the collection I have and I am sad to see them go, but I know that they will be going to loving homes!

All the garments will be perfect for that summer wedding or party. The colours and shapes are all on trend, but without looking high street.
Don't be shy, stand out from the crowd and go vintage!

I am only showing a few of the garments at the moment, I have so much more, but I will put these up at a later date.



This beautiful 1970s maxi dress is perfect for a sophisticated look and the colour is stunning.

Festival Fever

The festival season is fast approaching and it's time to decide what we want to be packing in our backpacks along with our tents.
Whatever your style there is something out there to suit you, rain or shine! I have been riffling through my vintage collection to suss out some cool and funky (and comfy!) little numbers to get your festival fashion juices flowing and hopefully some heads turning! I have used some high street bits along side the vintage to mix it up and give some ideas on how you could wear your vintage.
Seventies is all over the catwalk at the mo and will definitely be a must have trend for the festivals and the summer season. I have shown some of my seventies stuff in previous posts, so below I have some alternatives in different decades.

A vintage summer

With the sun shining bright in the Spring air I took the opportunity to dress up in some of my vintage summer attire and take photos of the gorgeous outfits with help from a friend. Every now and again I like to play dress up and show the pictures to you all as people often say to me "I like vintage clothes, but I just don't know how to wear them or what they will look like" so hopefully these Summery pics will be just the job to show some vintage newbies, or even some vintage pros, some ideas on how it can be done.

Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks; My Picks

Milan and Paris Fashion weeks never fail to bring us that sophisticated and classy look with some great tailoring. I have looked at the shows and picked out my favorite designers and looks that have occurred during these weeks. Have a read of my picks!

Milan to start with and the D&G collection.
There is definitely an 80s feel to the D&G collection with large letter prints in bright colours, cropped tops and jackets worn with leggings. The collection has got an air of Henry Holland to it with the letter prints and the slogan tees.

Outdoorsy country girl was making her way down the catwalk again at the Fendi show with gorgeous faux fur and wool coats in abundance along with a workman look. The ruffles are a cute detailing. Greens, mustard's, blues, browns, peach and black were the main colours shown in the collection.

Stepping back to a romantic, super glam 70s at Gucci. A super luxurious feel with rich deep colours in peacock blue, rust, burgundy, and petrol green. Fantastic wool flared trousers, platform boots and faux fur, this collection oozes sophistication and magnetism.

Marni was fab and fifties with the collection comprising of matching swing back jackets and fur trimmed gloved. Gorgeous subtle prints and thin waisted belts. A simple but elegant collection with vast desirability.

Now jetting over to Paris with the first stop at the Alexander McQueen show. A year after his death and Sarah Burton has brought us another amazing collection with all the element of the fashion house we love but with adding her own stamp.  The brilliantly constructed garments are stunning. Knitted fur, raw edges, high collars and full skirts where the main shapes and textures in this armour like collection.

There was a 80s biker punk look with a feminine twist at the Balenciaga show. Black and brown with bright oranges, blues and greens. Lovely prints on floaty fabrics mixed with the harsh biker jackets gave an interesting look.

All things grey and charcoal at the Chanel show with volcanic undertones. Boilersuits, tweed with dense raw edges, leather, feathers and lace gave a the collection a great interest on texture.

 

 

The Christian Dior show was a beautiful collection as usual paying homage to the fashion houses heritage and history. The collection consisted of cloaks, floppy hats, pleated skirts, silk bloomers and bows in a rich palette of burgundy, green, brown and black. Gorgeous textures in fur and silk with ruffles, smocking, lace and embellishment.

The John Galliano show was held in a more intimate location due the present circumstances. The collection had a gorgeous forties silhouette with fitted jackets, draped skirts and Stephan Jones hats. Lace, fur and feathers added texture to this gorgeous collection.

 

Seventies again at the Paul & Joe show with stunning bright colours dominating the collection. The collection was made up jumpsuits, vivid prints, fur collared coats, wide leg culottes and tapered trousers. The overall look, to me, is 70s geek chic.

Last but not least we come to the Yves Saint Laurent show, which again showed tweeds with textures of fur and shiny fabrics with garments such as playsuits, jumpsuits and backless dresses. The colours are black, white and grey with flashes of colour. The collection is very clean cut with sharp edges contrasted by the fur.

So the shows from Milan and Paris brought us elements of the seventies along with outdoorsy country girl paying lots of attention to texture and embellishment. Fabrics such as lace, tweed and fur are in abundance. The shows did not fail to bring us the elegance and sophistication that we expect to see from these fashion weeks.
