Vintage Shopping in Manchester

July 11th, 2010

I spent today shopping in Manchester – I needed to have a day to myself as it has been a horrible couple of weeks!

I haven’t been shopping in Manchester for awhile so spent a long time wandering around – I eventually ventured towards Rockers on Oldham Street as I wanted to have a look at their stock of dresses by Vivien of Holloway.

On the way back, I popped into Thunder Egg (also on Oldham Street) – am officially in love with this shop! I can see myself spending lots of money there in the future (especially around birthdays and Christmas)!

Thunder Egg had a great selection of tops and dresses by the likes of Yumi and Traffic People but I’m in love with this Russian Doll pattern dress by Get Cutie (so far, I’ve seen it in teal and black)!

Retro Directory

June 20th, 2010

I’ve taken all of the websites that I’ve bookmarked as interesting over the years and created a directory of all things retro!

This Retro Directory contains a large number of links to lots of different 1940′s and 1950′s focused sites including retro fashion, retro accessories and a few Burlesque sites!

I hope you find it useful!
