Fei Fei Love

Bon Soir,

The sun was high above London today, and I was totally loving it! Hopefully spring is well and truly here!

Today I have to show big Vintage love to Fei Fei Sun

I discovered the gorgeous Chinese supermodel this week, and I can't believe I'd never heard of her before! Check out the pictures of her spread and cover in Vogue Italia last year January, the styling was 50's and 60's inspired so of course I was loving it!

Look at that face!

Some of her pictures are reminiscent of 50's Supermodel China Machado

Machado was absolutely an inspiration for the styling of this shoot.

Fei Fei started modelling in China in 2008 and ever since she has become an international supermodel and one of China's top models working with the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Vivienne Westwood. With how versatile this beauty is she's definitely one to watch!

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
