Friday's Vintage Finds

It's my birthday in 5 days!! I can - not wait at all! I turn into a right kid when it's my birthday, I love presents, can't sleep at night, and birth(day) doesn't always apply to me. It should be birth(week) - oopsy! Who would've thought I'm going to be 22?! And not only that, I have a special birthday surprise weekend happening tomorrow and Sunday, all organised by George - which I know nothing about, I just know i'm going to love it, exciting!! How has all of your week been??
Have a great weekend!
  
Photographs of the week:

A photograph of Paris on a dark, wet night in the 1960's. Photo by Johan van der Keuhen. Don't you think this photo has a mysterious feel to it...

It was all about the mini skirt back in the 1960's, however there was still a part of the older generation that disagreed with the risqué style of the mini skirt. Imagine if they saw what some people were wearing today, they'd go berserk! Here is a photo of some London girls protesting for mini - skirts in 1966. 

Lovely Brigitte Bardot and her LOVELY LOVELY hair. So many times I have tried to get my hair styled like hers!

Songs of the week:
Bobby's Girl - Susan Maughan
This song just reminds me of the time I went to see Dreamboats and Petticoats with my nan, lovely song and such a great musical!

Walking Back To Happiness - Helen Shapiro
Woopah, oh yeah, yeah!  

Vintage news of the week:


Horst: Photographer of style
Last Saturday saw the opening of an exhibition on the life and work of photographer Horst at the V&A Museum in London. The exhibition will display Horst's most well known photographs, and is open from September 6th 2014 - January 4th 2015. Get yourself down there, it sounds like a brilliant exhibition! 

‘Fashion is an expression of the times. Elegance is something else again.’ 
Horst, 1984.
