We'll Meet Again: Veronica lake waves and creme puff
http://thewarbride.blogspot.com/2013/11/veronica-lake-waves-and-creme-puff.html
Saturday, 23 November 2013. Veronica lake waves and creme puff. Today I thought I'd show you something I've had for a while now, It's a 1950's Max Factor compact and its just the sweetest thing! The compact itself is cream plastic with little grey starbursts on the front. I'm not sure how popular plastic compacts were but I'd never really come across them before now. It even still has makeup inside! And its original sponge. I always like it when you find a piece by a brand that is still in business today!

We'll Meet Again: February 2014
http://thewarbride.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 15 February 2014. Put on your dancin' shoes and dance away the blues. So some of you may not be aware of this but I'm a HUGE Cliff Richard fan (when he was young of course). When I was a child my mum recorded all of his films for me and we watched them on a Sunday. Last time I was home we re-watched 'Summer Holiday' probably his most famous film and having seen how beautiful the costumes are I thought I'd share the following clips. My favourite part of the film is where they go waltzing! This i...

Straight Talking Mama: The big vintage dressed man question
http://straighttalkingmama.blogspot.com/2011/09/big-vintage-dressed-man-question.html
Saturday, 17 September 2011. The big vintage dressed man question. As I've been in blogland a while now and met new people outside my regular social crowd I've realised more and more than outside the scene that I'm involved in there seem to be less men into vintage, my scene? Some call it 'rockabilly' I don't cos I see Rockabilly as a form of music and anyway I'm an R'n'B gal more, but let's say my background is the Rockabilly scene for want of a better description. Paul is on the left. Here's a great pi...

We'll Meet Again: Lest we forget
http://thewarbride.blogspot.com/2013/11/lest-we-forget.html
Monday, 11 November 2013. Yesterday my sweetheart and I attended a remembrance service in north London. It was a beautiful morning and many people came along to pay their respects. I think these pictures say all that needs to be said. Despite loving a man in uniform, thankfully I have never had to cope with him being away or in danger. I cannot begin the imagine the agony and loneliness that comes from having a loved one separated from you for such a long time, in such danger and maybe never coming back.

We'll Meet Again: The Dr will see you now..
http://thewarbride.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-dr-will-see-you-now.html
Sunday, 1 December 2013. The Dr will see you now. Good Morning, and Happy December! This morning whilst having a lazy, online browse I found myself on the Dr martens website. I haven't looked at the website in such a long time as they bring back clompy memories of my teenage goth days(Don't get me wrong, these are good memories and I loved my knee length D.Ms. But they aren't a brand I thought would cater for the aesthetic I strive for these days). That is until now! Ideal for the festive season. They wo...

We'll Meet Again: Battles Bridge
http://thewarbride.blogspot.com/2014/01/battles-bridge.html
Friday, 10 January 2014. Happy New Year everyone! I'm finally back with my first post of 2014! For Christmas I was lucky enough to receive a brand spanking new camera, these pictures are from a. Trip to Battles Bridge antique center. I couldn't wait taking the new beauty for a test spin which is why these images aren't the best! Bear with me, I still have no idea how to use it! But I did think some of these had a certain charm so thought I'd post them any how. I wore: vintage fur collar. Pink coats are t...

We'll Meet Again: August 2013
http://thewarbride.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 28 August 2013. Just a really quick update on my Saturday at twinwood! It was super fun even with the torrential rain! My absolute highlight was seeing these guys! Here we are in the 5 minutes it stopped raining long enough to get a photograph! I'm wearing my amazing cowboy print western dress and my pirate college jacket. My honey has started to embrace vintage style recently and looked super handsome. In his Freddies, brown boots and US Navy shirt. Did anyone else go to twinwood this weekend?
