So, for those of you who don't know me......
I love Paloma Faith!
I love her, her music, her quirkiness, but most of all..... I love her STYLE!!
I was watching 'This Morning' yesterday with Brenda (My nan in-law) and there she was, in all her vintage style glory, being interviewed and singing her last single '30 minuet love affair'. She looked amazing! Her outfit was as impeccable as ever! Even Brenda, who is 81 and I am sorry to say unaware of what she is doing half the time, commented on her outfit. Although she did say she looked like she was wearing a pair of ears LOL! God love you Brenda!
I finally found a photo of her in it, and here it is....
She pulls of this outfit to an absolute T and I have to admit makes me thoroughly envious of her! She really knows her own style and the 1940's/1950's glamour is perfection on her.
Unfortunately you can't see the back of her head (an unusual thing to say I know), but this head scarf is stunning. Her whole head, except for her green 'ears', is covered in leopard print and along with the green, the superb blonde fringe roll and the vibrant orange hair that is also poking through, this is a very well styled outfit. Stunning!
How to recreate???
This animal body con dress from Warehouse is wonderful! It would be flattering for all shapes and sizes with the black panelling down each side. It comes in sizes 6-16 and is £50.
All you need now is a head scarf. I feel the scarf needs be as bold, if not bolder than the dress. A contrast in colours! There are hundreds of options available out
there. You could always hunt yourself down an original, one of a kind, vintage
head scarf. I'm sure that's What Paloma would do!
I hope you enjoyed it! And Paloma...... We love you!
Until next time.....

The beginning....
Hello everyone and welcome to my Blog!
What a few months it has been.....
Last weekend Kent saw the FIRST ever Penny's Lane Vintage Fair in Rochester and what a success it was!
I started selling vintage clothes and accessories at vintage fairs around the UK about a year ago and loved it! I knew however that I would eventually want to organise my own fairs, so I did it.
I chose Rochester to hold my first vintage fair because it is a lively town and so beautifully historic.
I am pleased to say that the first fair there was so successful and full to the brim with vintage goodies!!
There were a total of 13 stalls all together selling a variety of things, including a tea and cake stall.....
And of course Penny's Lane own stall also. We had just under 300 people turn up to enjoy the atmosphere, music, cakes and of course the shopping!
We all had a great day and I cannot wait for the next one in Faversham on the 1st September. It promises to be fab with around 18 stalls, tea and cake, a bar and live music from The Wayward Sisters! Do come and join us all.
Until next time.....
