Vintage Drama

December 12, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Rather loving these moody, vintage pics from The Gifts of Life tumblr. I love that indian sheer top – can that really be vintage? If so please can it  make it’s way to Syd’s Vintage in Kirkdale so I can purchase it?

Ellen Von Unwerth Channels The Follies

October 31, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Since writing the trend report on the Ziegfeld Follies, I’m starting to see the Alfred Cheney Johnston magic everywhere. Take a look at this cheeky photoshoot by Ellen Von Unwerth, featuring Camille Rowe, for Grey Magazine, it’s almost as if she’s taken a Follie girl into the backyard! The Pushettes are back in business this Saturday so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly. Hopefully I will have some pics to share next week.

Why Don’t You….watch “The Eye Has to Travel”

February 15, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I watched the documentary Diana Vreeland – The Eye Has To Travel over the weekend and it is an absolute must-see. I was totally transfixed from beginning to end. “I was the most hideous thing in the world”, Diana Vreeland told an interviewer in 1977 and perhaps because of this, she became the champion of the eclectic woman and the unconventional beauties of the world. I won’t spoil her story here, you must definitely watch the film, but she was well […]

Decades of Desire

December 28, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I now know the best way to get the presents you desire and that’s to write a post about them. Oh yes, some of those lovely 10 Best Books found their way into my stocking this year and I am one happy gal! Now I’m not favouring one present over another, but I have to say Decades by Cameron Silver, which my cousin’s in law gave me, had me, (rather unfortunately for my family), totally mesmerised on Boxing Day. The […]

The Vintage Pinks

November 15, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

In August 1996 Vogue ran an article entitled “Does your house suit you?” Plum Sykes interviewed women whose homes reflected their whole style ethos. One of these women was Yvonne Spore, a stylist, whose plaster pink walls enthralled my 17-year-old mind so much so, that I still have the article. Believe it or not there weren’t even many images in the article other than the one below. But the description blew my mind. “What just happened was this: she knocked […]

Cinnamon & Spice in Spitalfields

October 10, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I saw this gorgeous book in Anthropologie, “Interiors” by Martyn Thompson, and it’s a feast of vintage inspired homes. Since Autumn is well and truly upon us I thought this photoshoot hit the spot perfectly. Cinnamon and spice in Spitalfields. Mulled wine anyone? “The Spitalfields House is in the east of London. It’s often rented out as a location and I used to shoot here a lot, mainly fashion and accessories stories. I grew up in Sydney, where basically things […]

Vintage Whites

August 11, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I’m rather susceptible to white lace dresses, particularly the edwardian types with the bobble edging and crochet details. In fact you can usually spot me at a vintage fair by the trail I lead from one white outfit to the next. Generally, followed closely by my mum, saying “yes it’s lovely but when would you wear it?” Well the weather, for the last few days anyway, has been perfect for a white dress – this is when I would wear […]
