It’s Vintage Darling – The Book Every Girl Should Own
May 19, 2010Lovely Weather For A Wedding….
May 24, 2010I already have one Vivien of Holloway frock.
It’s the one I’m wearing in my teeny tiny me header photo, though in real life it is green satin. It’s the 1950s Swing Dress style that she’s most famous for, as worn by Kate Nash, Nigella Lawson and Charlotte Church. Owning one doesn’t stop me wanting more, though, and I’m quite partial to this Day of the Dead print.
As well as this famous style Vivien of Holloway also sells a range of other styles online and from the shop on Holloway Road in North London. She sells tops, skirts and trousers, but today is Friday and it’s all about the Frock Love, so these are the dresses I want in my wardrobe.
This probably isn’t a new brand to you, but thereis a new style. Just in time for Summer you can get a VofH Tea Dress. It has gorgeous pleating detail at the back and shoulders and I’m quite drawn to this cute strawberry print.
Tea Dress Black Strawberry Fields – £59
Perfect for a lovely day dress this 1940s style has padded shoulders and a sarong style skirt. It’s also kind of bargainous at £35.
1940s Dress Midnight Garden – £35
Ooooh, how beautiful is this? I am seriously in love with this fabric and style, but I think I’d want to try it on to make sure of the fit across the hips. Maybe a trip to North London is in order this Summer. This dress makes me dream of hot summer nights, cocktails and amazing hair.
Sarong Blue Gold Dragon – £69

Oh, I just adore the Day of the Dead print. I think I need that! I have one of the 40s dresses. It’s gorgeous. A bit long for me, though, so I had to take it up.

ah yes the Sarong dress is the one for me! Fabulous!
I have one of them (a red polka dot one) and I love it! If I can’t find a good vintage dress to get married in, i’m going to have the white satin one as my wedding dress!
Love both of the top two dresses. I have been considering a dress a bit like the first one from Tara Startlet myself.
Gorgeous! I’ll have to visit the store next time I’m in London.
I would LOVE to get a Viv of Holloway dress! Don’t know where I would wear it though!
gorgeous, i really love the strawberry print too
I want the last dress…. and I am soooo gonna get it!
Blue rules. I’d love how neutral everything seems. Vintage at its best.
