Red, red, red

By the look of them grey clouds just outside of your window, it looks like Summer is fading away. But that's not all as bad as it sounds, because it means Autumn is coming! I love Autumn, the season that introduces the start of the cozy woolly jumpers, mountains of boots now on sale and endless amounts of tea. Yum!

So let's say so long to them pastel colours that are raiding your wardrobe right now, and say "Bonjour" to the musky shades of brown, orange and of course red! To get you in the spirit of those chilly autumn nights, here's some inspiration of the colour red to get your Autumn wardrobe up and rearing to go!!


Perfect 50's circle skirt which is a must have on any Vintage clothing checklist! Pair with a plain black top and you'll be so stylish this Autumn! 

Autumn fashion means the purchase of the new coat! And don't miss out on those gorgeous red ones, I've already seen a couple out in the shops and i'm definately becoming the proud owner of one!

What a cute little retro kitchen cabinet! I see 50's/60's style thrown all over that, imagine how the whole kitchen would look! *drool*

I know, I know it's Autumn, but I couldn't resist! You never know, we may get a slight bit of sun poking through. If not, who says we can't prepare ourselves for next summer?

A lovely looking Marilyn who knew just how to wear the colour red properly and how to make it stand out!

Such a cute outfit from (I'm guessing) early 60's?

+I do not own any of these photos

Dream lovers

Isn't love grand? The 50's and 40's seemed like such a romantic time, the boys picked you up from your house (after the dreaded meeting of the parents) and took you on a date. Drive in, dinner, movie theater, dancing... and so on. Yet maybe some would say too romantic, the popularity of engagement rings around that time must have been sky high! Anyway I have gathered up some lovely photographs I have found this week that truly do represent 'love and romance' back in the good ol' days. Enjoy!

Cola anybody?

What I'm loving this week

The fact that I bought this perfect one piece for only £18! Now, just need some sun...
swimsuit

This vintage Vogue cover.

I cannot stop staring at this dress. The colours, the patterns, the scarf tie. It's almost to good to be true.

Polka dots galore! They make every outfit that much cuter, I have such a weakness for them.

Model Jean Shrimpton, the face of the 1960's!

This photo of George Harrison. Actually, all photos of him. Not even just this week. All day, every day, every where. I think you got the point...
