Friday Frock Love – Repro Vintage
Sooo, over the Summer I have a couple of lovely vintagey events lined up. First up, in July is the Chap Olympics and secondly I am off to Vintage at Goodwood in August (Are you off to either of these? Let me know!) But what’s a girl to wear? I have the urge to treat…

Retro Chick Plays Model…..
Whilst at the Lady K Loves shoot last week the photographer, the wonderful Jon Bolland of StrobeMe, offered to take a few photos of me seeing as I fit in so well with my surroundings. Instantly I wished I’d applied a little more foundation and blusher when I’d got ready at 7am that morning and…

Fascinating Fascinators
Wedding season is most definitely upon us. I say this with confidence as walking through town on Saturday night involved navigating large groups of girls in matching neon leg warmers and boys in matching T Shirts. Once the Hen and Stag parties are out the wedding invitations start flooding in. Whilst a hat is the…

Retro Chick Reviews: Burt's Bees Beeswax & Banana Hand Cream
I love trying new beauty products, but it can be so expensive to try new products without knowing if they’ll work, or suit you. With this in mind I was delighted when I was approached by Plume Lifestyle to pick something from their site to review. They actually sent me a gorgeous little goodie box…
