The Era of the Sophisticate

Salut Mes Amis!

Hope the weather hasn't completely dampened your week! I can absolutely say the burst of sunshine we had on the weekend was an absolute treat, and as always a little sun always brings a smile to my face :) .  

I am a big Mad Men fan, set in the 1950's not only do i love the authenticity of the set, story lines and characters but the costumes ahh!! Makes me wish i could be transported just to wear the sultry pieces, and the floaty Doris Day like dresses. 

     

Given the conservative style of that era, the sophistication is almost second to none.  As it was a time where very few women worked and those that did still having much to prove, invented the term 'power dressing'.  Working and still 'Working it'!  Here is the WannaBuyVintage interpretation

Velvet Jacket   Navy Mini 

Sophisticated LBD 

Vintage Topshop Cuffed Tartan Jacket     Print Pencil Skirt 

All pieces are now available so get in touch if any tickle your fancy (really cheesy apologies!)I'll leave you with a song from an album by M.I -MI2 The Movie thats been on repeat everyday for the past week since I got it, leaves me feeling like I'm in my own music video!! <3

Hello One and All!

I feel like I'm seeing a friend for the first time in ages, there is much excitement that I'm containing as I type!

First and foremost Happy New Year to you  all, as this is my first post this year.  I also must apologise for that same reason and thank you to those of you who haven't un followed my blog due to my absence, I have most certainly "pushed" it!!  

As much as 'life' has been a reason for my hiatus, I had a getaway recently and was in Canada for just under two weeks heres some pics from my travels 

Arcades and activities by Niagara

Film Wax Museum the woman looked familiar
can't remember her name lol!

Niagara Falls

The Rainforest Cafe the decor, waterfall, gorillas very realistic!
 (iPhone makes the eyes dodgy!)

Going away always gives a   new sense of clarity and appreciation for life and Canada is beautifully vast, and the hospitality I received was second to none people are very friendly and the food oooh so much bigger which I find makes things just that extra bit better!! 

Niagara Again!

For those of you who may not know I'm very much into my vintage, and I'm in the process of making my new collection available for you all to purchase and receive at your own convenience.  "Like" the WannaBuyVintage Facebook page to receive updates and get exclusive quality pieces.  

I'm also very much into putting things together, so a couple of weekends ago I styled a photo shoot for some of my new pieces.  It was an outdoor shoot, and considering rain has been the order of everyday for the past 2 weeks! I must say my outlook for good lighting was pretty bleak!  But I was pleasantly surprised though breezy the sun absolutely turned up, couldn't have been more pleased.  Here are some behind the scenes shots of the day 

Throne in the woods what a find!

My very dedicated photographer ad agile model!
