How to wear vintage as modern

Tue, 04/30/2013 - 09:12

I recently had a fantastic trip to Bath. I'd forgotten just how beautiful it is. 

If you head there, do go to Bath's Fashion Museum. They've got a great exhibition on at the moment of 50 'favourite dresses' which is well worth a look. However, I was really struck by the exhibits at the end, where they cleverly show you how to mix and match your vintage pieces with high street buys to bring you bang up to date for S/S 2013.

Hat Party in the Peaks!

Just one of the many lovely headpieces made by the hens at this hat party in the Peak District.

I love the way she's used the fabric and the clock face - a  simple idea for a cute headband. Top Tip: put a little wire or a pipe-cleaner inside the bow to give it that little 'lift'.

OOOH - those skirts are fab!

Love these...! Camden Passage London

A big thankyou to The Courier for their article on my new book The Modern Girl's Guide to Hatmaking.

I really hope that many a hat will be blocked at  kitchen tables around Scotland over the coming months!
