It’s Not Old it’s Vintage: How to Find that Perfect Coat Before the Big Freeze

Looking for that perfect coat can be time consuming; there’s finding the right style, fit, occasion and then making sure you have enough to pay for it all. When it comes to buying a coat, many rarely consider buying vintage for fear of it ‘not lasting’ which we tend to find quite ironic, it being vintage and all. Nevertheless, we are here to say that buying a vintage coat could in fact be the investment piece you never knew you could have.

This week we thought we would make it nice and simple in the run up to the holidays, with temperatures due to drop, and leave you with three tips when looking for that perfect vintage coat. (more…)

Best Occasion for Vintage Wear: The Christmas Party

If the adverts for the seasonal hampers for the following year are anything to go by, it must mean that Christmas is well and truly on the way.

So for every carol, every holiday decoration, and every delicious calorie laden mince pie we scoff; we know there is also another thing in the back of our minds. We’re not talking about the oven busting turkey we eventually have to buy, or even the pending dangerous mission to the high street, we’re talking about the Christmas party.

Yes the good old Christmas party, whether it’s with family, friends or your infamous and unpredictable office lot- at least we can guarantee one thing, that with the right vintage you can look like the woman of Christmas future and avoid any social mishaps (if you’re lucky).

As with all vintage clothing, make sure you know your size. Bear in mind that it will be one the busiest times of the year, so get your bits and pieces together even if you haven’t formed a complete outfit to avoid disappointment, and it will leave you room to change your mind.

With the snow falling heavily and with all the reality-celebrity-soap omnibuses we can shake a stick at (yes, we have truly panned our mission to give up television), there is just no real need to leave the house at the weekend.
