Lust List: Swell Vintage Jewellery!

I regularly lust over the vintage jewellery carefully crafted and designed by creator Frankie Murray over at Swell Vintage.  Swell Vintage offers individual vintage jewellery pieces created from vintage trinkets, jewels, antique hardware and freshwater pearls.  Swell Vintage is one of those great online secrets you just want to keep to yourself, but I have decided a blogger should always share and well, it seems rude to keep Swell Vintage from you any longer!

You can buy Frankie’s fabulous vintage jewels online at Swell Vintage and if you cannot find something you want you can get a piece commissioned! Swell Vintage offers one of a kind jewellery and offers you the exclusivity of a vintage dress….what is not to like?

BNTMLive2010 for Motorola Flipout: Vintage Geek Chic!

It is hip to be square dear readers...you heard it here! Last weekend I was asked by Motorola Flipout to style a model for the Geek Chic catwalk at the BNTM Live event at Excel in London.

Along with five other fabulous bloggers we dressed, styled and talked on the Kiss Catwalk at the BNTM event all about our look, the clothes,  the accessories and our inspirations behind our model's threads. I had to come up with a vintage geek chic look so naturally I decided to go 1950s (obvious?) I chose the original Sandra Dee as my inspiration mixed with a little Mad Men's Peggy Olsen circa first series.

Frankie from SwellVintage was my vintage partner in crime and dressed her model in 70s vintage clobber, with the latest Chloe catwalk as her inspiration.

So I could go on and on about the models, their perfect skin and lean limbs, but I thought instead that I would just show you lots of the pictures. It was such a great event and far too much fun to call work. Thanks to all the wonderful bloggers, hairstylists, make up artists, stage and technical support, JCPR, models, Motorola and the woman who sung about walking in her stiletto's! It was a weekend I will never forget.

If you want to see more pictures from the weekend, check out my Flickr page and add me as a contact so you can see when I add more. Makes sense!
