October 1974 Vogue, sequinned peasant dresses

Shine On – Vogue 1974

January 12, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

I found this gorgeous copy of October 1974 Vogue at a vintage fair this weekend – with sequinned peasant-esque dresses, it’s not difficult to see where inspiration for SS15 came from?

Lux by Horst

Horst’s Very Modern Muse

January 2, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

This weekend is always a weird one – with one foot still clinging on to the over-indulgence of the past month and the other desperate to move onto a new chapter – you generally don’t know what to do with yourself. But what better way to start the New Year than with an injection of culture? If you’re in London there is only one weekend left to see the Horst exhibition at the V&A and it’s absolutely beautiful – so […]

The Tale of Talitha

May 4, 2014 by igetakickoutofyou

Love this photo shoot by Tom Craig for Porter Magazine. Very reminiscent of the photographs Patrick Lichfield took of Talitha Getty, the queen of Marrakesh kool in the early 70s: It was here where he [Yves Saint Laurent] met one of his muses, the ill-fated and impossibly beautiful Talitha Getty (supposedly the only woman Rudolf Nureyev was ever attracted to). Her opulent Moroccan palace, which she shared with her oil heir husband was the setting for some of the decade’s most […]

Fancy a victorian verandah, a rolled top bath, just a stone’s throw from your bedside? Then check out this stunning Australian 1860s miner’s cottage styled by Kali Cavanagh. Sometimes you just can’t beat period features… Photography by Armelle Habib

Maison Martin Margiela AW14

A Vintage Season for MMM

March 3, 2014 by igetakickoutofyou

I wasn’t intending on writing another post about Paris fashion week but I’ve been bitten by the bug! For any vintage aficionado Maison Martin Margiela’s AW14 collection was just full of inspiration – and a real direction change from previous seasons. Tweed and vintage slips – what more can a girl ask for? Long may it last!

Fire Starter

February 25, 2014 by igetakickoutofyou

Are you lacking passion in your life? If so, the Flamenco Festival at Sadler’s Wells starts next week, so if you haven’t got your tickets yet, get cracking! I was lucky enough to do a Q&A with Sara Baras for the Sadler’s Wells blog Londondance.com. Sara, renowned for bringing a vibrant, contemporary, style-conscious edge to the passion and drama of traditional flamenco, will be opening the festival this Saturday. It’s sure to be an incredible treat. So to get your taste buds […]

Vintage indian top

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.

Postcards With An Edge

August 9, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Between bouts of fighting with my children in Mallorca, over inflatable dolphins and alligators, I spotted these traditional postcards. All were taken by Arxiu Bestard/ Casa Bestard, which houses the largest archive of Mallorcan photography from the late nineteenth century up until 2006. How ingenious! I don’t really send postcards, it almost seems quite an outdated idea, or is that just me? But these are something else and certainly too beautiful to leave to the uncertainties of the post!
