The Perfect Vintage Clutch Bag

I’ve acquired a cute selection of vintage 80’s clutch bags recently.  I do love a clutch bag and if you’ve collected a few nice ones over the years, you’ll appreciate how great they are for adding that finishing touch to an outfit.  If you ever feel the need to indulge your fantasy for an expensive-looking, [...]

Catwalk Creative Vintage Clothes Party

I’m really looking forward to this coming Sunday.  I’m hosting a vintage clothes party and I can’t wait!  A couple of my girlfriends had hinted a while back that they’d love an afternoon of ‘elegant slumming‘ with pals, frocks and a glass or two of chilled wine.  Who am I to argue? First I had to [...]

Vintage is my Choice this Summer!

Yay! I’m off to sunny Spain this August. So excited, because February 2008 was my last vacation ‘proper’, so it’s been a long time coming. I visited Cape Town back then and of course, it was very, very hot. I managed somehow. Let’s say I’m one of those ‘pale but interesting‘ types! I’m not particularly [...]

Party Frocks from Catwalk Creative Vintage

Tonight it’s party night! I’m taking a well-earned break and it will be back for business as usual on Tuesday 26th May. So I’ll be partying until the wee small hours and of course I want to look my best.  I’ve been saving my special vintage party frock for a few weeks now and tonight [...]

Peggy Page Illusuion 50’s Cocktail Dress with Petticoat

You might recall that last week I posted a photograph of one of my most recent purchases.  It’s a beautiful 1950’s illusion cocktail dress by Peggy Page. I decided that in order to show the dress off properly, I had to invest in a petticoat.  Andrea from Petticoats-a-Plenty did the honours and made me the most [...]

Pledge 2 Recycle Vintage 4 Life! There’s no stopping Faux Brit Girl!

I’d say the highlight of my year (so far!) has been meeting Beth, that Faux Brit girl!  Regular readers will recall that I wrote about our first meeting in one of my recent blog entries so if you’re not familiar, please take a look and get updated! I’m hoping to interview Beth for Catwalk Threads some [...]

Catwalk Creative Vintage Goodness on Etsy!

After a few months away, I’ve finally decided to go back to selling on Etsy. I always did love the layout of Etsy but I’ve been so busy with my website and editing Catwalk Threads that I’ve not had time to concentrate fully on my Etsy store or give it the full attention it deserves. [...]

The Thrill of a Vintage Find!

Anyone that sells or collects vintage will tell you what an absolute thrill it is to find something really special. Whether it’s an antique piece of jewellery, ceramic pot or labelled frock. It’s all in the find! It’s so satisfying and can happen when you least expect it. Getting hold of a one-off, unique piece [...]
