This is such a wonderful antiques fare for all you Vintage Clothes lovers! The prices are reasonable, the stock is varied and good quality - the venue is fab, with tea and cakes served to the strains of a wind up gramaphone... bliss.
There was even a Swing Night with live band the day I went, but I couldn't justify hanging around Chelsea all day and night, so sadly I didn't bring my dancing shoes this time around. Next time - definitely!
But I did come away with this darling little number! 40's wool jacket, just what I have been looking for and a great fit. All I need now is some white ice skating boots and a muff..
I'm going to put shoulder pads in everything and cinch my waist - it's such a lovely feeling, class!

The frocks were nice enough - but the brooches, jewels and buttons were fabby.
Look what I found - cute eh?

And these to add to another jacket I got from the 'High St' the other week.

And finally, the sunglasses I'm wearing in these pics were in fact my mothers, genuine retro item.

Fantastic jacket! It goes really well with the skirt -- maybe you won't have to channel Malcolm after all.
Wow - that skirt and that jacket are truly amazing together!
