Be creative and playful whilst being sustainable – go vintage!
My top tips for vintage dressing this spring carnival to summer
parties and New Years Eve:
Wear an individual dress from acid 60’s to pretty 50’s frock,
Adorn yourself with unique accessories:
try
gloves,
a purse from the 50’s,
clutch from the 70’s,
a multi
crystal choker from the 50’s.
You
could even have a go at collecting several treasures by gluing or soldering
them to a large brass stamping for
an amazing statement choker..
Where to find such pieces? try King St Newtown including my own store
Olga and Millies. (upstairs from the Etelage bead and jewellery store).
And this weekend try the Vintage Show at Canterbury Racecourse from
5:30 17th Oct to 4:30 Sunday 19th. Enjoy all day shopping,
demonstrations on make up and hair do’s from bygone eras and parades.

Olga and Millies will showcase their best pieces at the vintage show. Note: Olga and Millies will be closed from Fri 17 - Sun 19 Oct due to the vintage show.
So whether it be spring races, a special event or the office Christmas
Party I am sure you will find an amazing one off piece at this vintage show.
