Strike a Pose!

March began with an early morning photoshoot upon a jetty near Hove Beach Huts with Toby Key. It was a wonderful (if a little chilly) morning, but it felt incredibly special to be shot with an original vintage camera. It required me to be very still, not easy for a fidget like me! He is putting together a photographic documentary of Vintage Girls, and I felt honoured to be asked as I will feauture amongst some incredible vintage beauties such as Fleur de Guerre!

The documentary features very much on your own individual take on 'Vintage' and what it means to you. I chose a classic tea dress with a cardigan and thin waist belt to give an everyday 1940's look. This was paired with seamed stockings, my favourite vintage brogues and small vintage handbag. I adore the simple,understated style that was seen in the forties and thought it would be nice to show that side of vintage life, rather than the more typically 'done up' look of the fifties.

 

Please check out Toby's website, www.tobiaskey.com. On the 'commercial' section, you can view his Vintage Girls.

I would love to hear what you think!

Oh I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside!

A glorious day in Brighton today meant it only necessary for a long stroll along the sea. The fine weather really gets everyone out and about, and it is so lovely to see everyone making the most of it! All that sunshine could only call for some photos...

We also decided to visit the Brighton Tattoo Convention. Held at the Hilton Metropole, there were absolutely loads of stalls featuring tattooists from all over the world! Plenty of eye candy too, with lots of bearded and tattooed men walking round, as well as lots of vintage ladies! I had a sneaky look at the beautiful dresses on the Oh My Honey! stall and a chat to the lovely ladies on the Brighton Belles WI stand. I think I may go! It all sounds very exciting, with events such a guest speakers, cake decorating and much more. It would be a brilliant way to meet some more people. I would love to hear if any of you lovely readers go?

I hope you had a lovely weekend!
