Vintage Tips, Tutorials and Links Round-Up

Franca and Dave's first dance at their wedding was to The Lovecats - isn't that wonderful.

Well I was hoping that I would have the new website ready to go today, but I haven't done a single piece of work all week due to my rotten cold (other than making sure I still got blog posts out). Luckily it is easing off now, so I have a full weekend planned of meeting a friend's new pet bunnies, going wig shopping, and discussing wedding plans with a newly engaged pal. Hope you all have great weekends!






























How to wear vintage without it looking like a costume (not that I have a problem with that, obviously!).

These posts are always such a treat. Very interesting about the 'keep calm and carry on' thing - even though I could quite happily never see that design ever again!
