Morning,

It's Saturday! Woop!

Well, that's our Audrey Hepburn umbrellas sold out. We may get some more in at some point, but as always, we try to only get things in limited numbers to keep them new, exciting and desirable, so it won't be straight away. I think them selling so quickly is a testament to our customers' fantastic taste and our lousy weather!

Best seller of the Yumi collection so far? The Larinda top. It's not on the online shop yet, but we'll get it up there as soon as possible.

If you're in the mood for something literary, check out my review of Edward Hogan's The Hunger Trace on my Hell Oh Kitty blog.

Continuing our current Yumi obsession, guess what Pick Of The Day is? :)

Pick Of The Day is this beautiful Yumi Quimella Lace Skirt. It's available in black, brown or beige. The underskirt has a beautiful satin feel, and it's overlaid with the gorgeous sheer cream lace top skirt. It has contrasting coloured elasticated waistband and lace detail on the hem. I especially love what our photographer Brian Chapman has done with these photos, and our model Rebecca looks fantastic!

Choose your Yumi Quimella Lace Skirt on our online shop.

All that's left for me to say is have a great weekend, and if you need us today to help you complete your Saturday night outfit, we'll be here! Otherwise, see you on Tuesday!

Morning,

Just a reminder that we will be running a special offer for our Facebook followers once we reach 350 on there, so if you haven't already, head over to our Facebook page.

Our Special Evening cocktail, prom and evening dresses are now on the online shop. Check out the Special Evening section.

Pick Of The Day today is this gorgeous cream Max C London dress. The shape gives it a bit of a retro 60's/mod look, whilst the floral lace out later is very vintage. It's in our sale, and these are the last few so when they're gone they're gone! It's a beautiful dress for the party season, maybe with some leggings and a shrug, and great for showing off your tan in the summer. Fully lined, it's elasticated under the bust, and has the distinctive Max C bubble hemline.

They're predicting rain so quite glad the shop is quite far up the hill!

Very Vintage

Morning,

Did another photoshoot at the shop on Saturday, with two more lovely models, Carly from the Ra Ra Ryans and fashionista Rosie. Our fantastic photographer Brian is back in this evening so we can get the last bits photographed for the website.

If you're feeling stressed or just love all things retro/vintage, check out this Temporary:Secretary Keep Calm And Carry On necklace in Vintage Green. The pendant is 40mm x 30mm and it's on an 18 inch goldware chain. We also have it in stock in other colours, as well as in pink on a silverware chain. They are £22 each. Gorgeous vintage style, distinctive, and very TempSec.

Have a good Tuesday!

Morning,

We're trying something new. We've got some beautiful dresses in from Special Evening, who specialise in prom dresses and the like, for a month's trial to see what you all think. They're beautifully made and we have a little selection of styles, colours and sizes for you to try. What's even better is that it's helping me stick to my promise to try to expand our range of sizes, and these are available in 6 to 18. How you wear them is up to you! Choose something black for a formal occasion or just to indulge your inner goth, or have a look at the vintage 50s styles in baby blue and red, perfect for a wedding or event. Plus, it's never too early to consider your Christmas diary, so maybe a silver or burgundy one would take your fancy! Most of the styles even come with sheer shawls in a matching colour. Do let us know what you think of them.


Pick of the Day is one of these dresses. This one is called SEKOA 45 (erm, yeah) and this is it in black. Beautiful detail, and a ruched skirt held up with black roses. Glam without being over the top, this is a stunner. It's priced at £55, as are all the other styles. All you have to do is find an occasion to wear it!
