My round-up of the
vintage festival in July is now well overdue, but rather than getting stuck into my review immediately I wanted to show off some of the lovely outfits that were on display. Most of these are my own chums as I am a bit shy about asking to take pictures of strangers - I would be a useless street photographer. I'm obviously biased as these are my friends, but I think they are all very dashing and beautiful and deserve to be admired by the wider world.
Currently I am still coughing and spluttering with this cold that seems to be going around London, have any of you been suffering with it? I must look like Lady Muck right now, as I've folded out the sofa bed in the living room and am tucked up in my blankets surrounded by books, watching old films, snuggling with Elsa the cat, drinking tea and eating chocolate. If I was feeling better this would be utter bliss.

| Two more grumpy faces. We were all feeling a bit fed up by the end of the day. |

| The divine Miss Asprey. Doesn't she look just like a 50s model. |

There are so many lovely outfits here that I can't possibly pick a favourite. I wish there were fun events like this in the little town where I live!

What a fab post! You look gorgeous. I love the larky shots of Charly, and Hannah looks like she stepped out for a vintage Vogue.

Everyone looks fabulous, they really do!
Holy schmokes! You have reminded me that I have not blogged about this - and that I actually have very few pics of the event. Apparently, though, there are enough of me on here for the whole blogosphere! Ha ha ha! Reminder to self. I should never stand next to Hannah when there is camera about. Ever. She makes me feel like a big galumping ugly sister.
It was a fab day - a sweaty, smiling for people i dont know, day.
ps)Helga says the nicest things. There is a lawn somewhere with our name on it. Ha ha ha x
Margarita,
Look at all that gorgeous viejada (Women)! I am in love with Charly's green polka dress. I love how that chap is so happy to see Fleur. I picture him saying something really English posh.
Beautiful images! Everyone looks so pretty and colourful!
Wow!! This post is an overload of perfection!!! I keep viewing it again and again! xoxo
Dearest Margaret,
Looks like you all had a thoroughly splendid time. Everyone is so immaculately turned out.
You all look utterly spiffing!
I love Mr & Mrs pearly peeps. I've often wondered how long it would take to create something like that. Gawd knows that I sure have the buttons to do it but alas not the time ;)
Some of those wonderful vintage frocks are shooting me though the heart with a lust have arrow.
I totally agree Miss Asprey does look precisely like a glamorous 50s model.
Lot's of love,
Jennie
xXx
Everyone looks so stunning! I just can't get over it. The pictures are fantastic. I'm green with envy, I don't think there's as many vintage dressed people in all my city, let alone in one glorious big outfit post! :)
Everyone looks so fabulous!! I love your dress :)
Great photos, amazing dresses, and beautiful ladies. And some not too shabby chaps too! What's not to love?
Wow, some fabulous outfits and dedication to the vintage look!
Brilliant pictures, I have the best dressed friends ever!
What a lovely bunch of vintage lovelies. xxx
Lovely pics! Especially the one at the top, with all the girls in it. When you see photos like this from the 40s-50s they're always in black and white. But here you see what those pictures REALLY would look like, if the color camera had just been invented a bit earlier :)
All of these outfits are great, the accessories are just fabulous!

Wonderful outfits - the dresses are gorgeous!
This is a wonderful round up. I love your perspective on the festival. The thing that strikes me the most is the wonderful colour. Happiness on the dreary days we are having now. You could have used the shot I took of you, you know. It is OK as you credit. Xxxx
Your friends look absoloutely fabolous! It looked like a great event.

These shots are just perfect - and SO MUCH JOY! Every hat in this selection is an absolute winner, and I love your straw bag, adorable!
I swear, I want one of those pearl suits!
