Diane Von Furstenberg and the 1940’s Twist

June 3, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

It’s been a busy week. Back from Seville and straight to a wedding on Saturday. Not any ordinary wedding, you understand. In true Jubilee spirit, one of my best friend’s married her childhood sweetheart at the Guard’s Chapel, off St James’ Park. If you know London, you’ll understand that it’s just a few metres away from Buckingham Palace, and therefore in the midst of Jubilee festivities. You can just imagine the atmosphere, particularly with the bride arriving in a horse-drawn […]

Spot the Difference – Anita Calero, New York

May 21, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Well, I survived my “event” on Friday – which I shall blog about in the near future. I’m just waiting for the photographs to materialize and I’ll then share them with you all. (Depending on how they turn out!) So back to real life again and back to some inspiration. During the weekend I settled down under the duvet, with …yes… a slight hangover, and flicked through a Dutch Elle Decoration, Mr E had bought me. I was also looking […]

The Original Action Man

May 17, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

First things first, I was actually going to leave posting for the rest of the week, as the show is on Friday and I’m in rehearsals most days. However, a cheery blog called We Heart Vintage, posted this picture of the King of Cool, Steve McQueen, and whilst I don’t normally do “vintage men” or in this case, eye candy – this picture did make me smile. It also reminded of a great post that the Selvedge Yard did – and […]

Twinsets with Sparkle

May 7, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

One of the things I love about doing this blog is I can create whatever I like, delve into the realms of the imagination and have fun with Photoshop. (I should really be doing the kids’ homework!) Today it’s all about partners in crime – or rather outfits teamed with corresponding interiors. oh…. and they all have a little of sparkle – here goes….. (Those images that are not credited come from “the scrapbook” and are rather old – so […]

Italians Do It Better – Part 1

May 2, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

While reading the Vogue article, featured in the last post, I came across a picture of Kate Moss in a Dolce & Gabbana swagger coat and rose embroidered dress – it looked so fresh but so 1950s, I was totally smitten. How this collection passed me by, I just don’t know – but could I find any images? Hell, no – nowhere. I even bought “10 Years of Dolce & Gabbana” but to no avail, although it proves rather essential […]

She wears it well

April 30, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

This post started with a bit of pondering over the issue why dress in vintage? A couple of weeks ago I read a post by The Bright Young Twins asking people’s opinions on why vintage has become so popular. The post itself is great and what is interesting is all the different responses that came back – ranging from choosing vintage because of body shape – to the wasteful nature of society today – to the way in which women […]

Wallpaper frames “The Shrimp”

April 23, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

A few weeks back I went to a launch of a wonderful collection of new wallpapers and fabrics by Scion. One of the sets they had arranged had this gorgeous retro orange wallpaper – which would make a show stopping feature wall. So I thought why not browse a little selection of some retro, vintage inspired feature walls – with a little help from The Shrimp! C60 Wallpaper/Cassettes Wallpaper – Bodie & Fou £45 Baroque by Barbara Hulanicki  – Graham & […]

My very own Honey Rider

April 16, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I woke up on Saturday morning with the most horrific hangover, and by 10am I was just praying for the day to end, so I could curl up into the duvet. Ha – no such luck. Sitting in the car, dark glasses over my eyes, and praying that Mr E’s driving wouldn’t send me over the edge, we passed this little Art Deco shop (Behind the Boxes), which I pass every weekend and always want to go in, but never […]

Who’s Pussy Footing Around?

April 4, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

When I met Jason Brooks and David Downton at the Fashion Illustration event, back in December, they also had a selection of second hand illustration books. I managed to pick up this really cute one on Andy Warhol (which you can still purchase second hand) : You generally don’t think passed his silkscreens, as they’re so iconic, but these early illustrations, when Andy worked for the likes of Harpers Bazaar and Vogue, are really gorgeous. Simon Doonan, in the foreward […]
