Thank you everyone for detailed responses - you are really too kind! As a massive cocktail fan, this has been on my to-do list for a good few years :)

I'm resurrecting this thread as I'm heading off to NY in 3 weeks... does anyone have any new recommendations for vintage or repro shopping in NY, or just fun places to visit for a lass stuck in the past? Thanks x

I've found some lovely ones on Etsy, as I'm also looking for Art Deco style. Just search "art deco wedding invitations" and some crackers should show up!

Surely, then, we are saying that it's nice for a guy to dress nicely than necessarily wear vintage..? I can only speak for myself, but I really love it when my fiancee wears clothes that fit perfectly, and for him to achieve that, he has to have them made a lot of the time. We've tried shopping...

I don't think it's the looking good that makes the difference for me; In my case it's the keeping myself busy aspect. Taking time to set my hair and apply make-up takes my mind off how awful I feel... Not that I have seriously suffered from depression for a good few years now; but when I feel...

Doll, this made me giggle too much!! Back to topic, you'd look great in anything with those legs! x

Funnily enough, I was in the What Katie Did boutique for the first time yesterday. You really must pay then a visit, the girls in there are so lovely and helpful! VoH obviously us worth a visit, and you can get Tara Starlet clothes downstairs at the Topshop on Oxford St. There used to be a...

I'm dipping my toe into the world of Etsy selling; I'm not sure how it'll go! http://www.etsy.com/shop/KissMeKateVintage

I'm gutted that this lot of Norman Hartnell suits went at the local auction house this morning for £10 over my budget :(

Aaaargh I LOVE both of these! Just asked my young man to buy me the bunting ones for my birthday, but I am finding it impossible to choose a colour! x

Gorgeous! We've been after something similar for our flat for ages. We just missed out on a gentleman's wardrobe recently, complete with drawers labelled 'handkerchiefs', 'ties' and 'shirts' :)

I'm not sure if you've seen, but Bettie Page is having a 15% off green stuff sale and reduced shipping. Hurrah! I've had a little blog about this (and a rant about the mis-spelling of Paddy!) http://fortieskate.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/they-can-almost-be-forgiven-for-mis.html

Thanks BD! I do think of you every time I see something nautical :)

Oooops just splurged again, this time a Fables by Barrie swimsuit... Mind you, it only cost £21 delivered and it's brand new :) Hooray for Ebay!
