  • VINTAGE AFTERNOON TEA party

    VINTAGE AFTERNOON TEA party


    In May 2026, that dream became a reality when We hosted our first Vintage Afternoon Tea.
    Bringing together people who shared a love for elegance, vintage fashion and meaningful conversation was both exciting and nerve-racking. As this was the first of its kind we wasn’t sure how people would respond, but from the moment guests arrived, we knew there was something special in the room.
    What was intended as a one-off gathering quickly became something much bigger.

    What Guest had to say…

    I enjoyed everything but the saxophonist was awesome. He really added to the experience

    Overwhelmed wanted to cry this experience mean alot to me

    It was lovely, the host was exceptional. She really adds to the atmosphere with her personality.

    In the days that followed, many guests asked when the next event would be taking place. Some wanted more opportunities to dress up, connect and learn about vintage fashion and history.
    It became clear that this wasn’t simply about one afternoon tea.
    There was a genuine desire for a community.

  • A Floral Day at the Beach in 1950s Glamour

    A Floral Day at the Beach in 1950s Glamour

    Sunshine, sea breeze,  I’m spending the day at Ryde Beach wearing this stunning 1950s floral swimsuit from Dig For Vintage. The vibrant print, peplum silhouette, and halter neckline make it feel like I’ve stepped right out of a pin-up postcard. Styled with classic red lips, a straw hat, and my favourite parasol — it’s all about timeless seaside elegance.

    All little history for you….

    The bathing suit I’m wearing is inspired by the iconic 1950s swim dress — a stylish alternative to bikinis that offered more coverage while celebrating the feminine form. These suits often featured built-in bras, flared skirts, ruched bodices, and halter necklines, like the one I’m wearing from Dig For Vintage.

    Back in the post-war era, holidays by the sea were becoming more accessible, and so was fashionable swimwear. Women sought flattering silhouettes that blended modesty with glamour — perfect for lounging by the pool or strolling down the boardwalk. Designers like Rose Marie Reid, Jantzen, and Catalina popularized this look, and Hollywood starlets helped cement its timeless appeal.

    On my way to the beach, I couldn’t resist striking a pose with this beauty. It is a perfect match for a sun-soaked summer day. There’s something so whimsical about vintage bicycles — the rusted charm, woven baskets, and stories they seem to carry. I love how they instantly transport you to a gentler time, where the pace was slower and every ride felt like a little adventure. Styled in my 1950s floral swimsuit from Dig For Vintage,

    Special thanks to Dig For Vintage for keeping the golden age of swimwear alive!
