The past, has always held a certain fascination for me. I love learning about history (in a way which does not involve analysing sources like the school taught type) and I suppose that may be why I adore vintage fashion. It is like owning a tangible slice of that era gone by - the aftermath […]
Here we have a selection of my latest secondhand/thrift/vintage finds. Recently, I have been a little obsessed with hats, though my travels haven’t led me to anything particularly spectacular, I did get these two a week or so ago. I’m contemplating dying the first a different colour and the second is a FAUX […]
