If you’re not glamping it up in the West Sussex countryside at Vintage at Goodwood, but want to have a some vintage fun – with a modern twist – then look no further than the new ladies night at Backline Live in Guildford, Surrey.

Cherry POP!, in association with TUCA (The Unique Communications Agency), is a monthly, vintage inspired club night warm up – just for the ladies.

Kicking off at 7pm (until 10pm), tonight includes a  free cocktail on arrival and Rockabilly tunes from the DJ; setting the scene for pampering – courtesy of the Angelic Rebels, risque frivolity – courtesy of Judy from Ann Summers and other vintage girlies with their own specialist offerings, including styling lessons, fashion fixes and adult games (oh I say)

Good girls will receive their very own goodie bag packed with style tips, discounts and freebies and the ticket price also includes free entry to Backline Live’s later club night (until 2.30am) where the boys will be back.

Tickets for Cherry POP! are £6 and available online at We got Tickets and Backline Live.

Enjoy getting ready for club night fun with your girlfriends; sip a few cocktails, pick up free goodies and vintage style tips and enjoy the party…maybe see you there? Toodle-Pip!

Bakelite Jewellery on Deco Girl

As How to do Vintage were researching our fun filled Paris trip, we came across the excellent Paris Advice on Deco Girl.

We’ve seen some beautifully unique and rare items on Deco Girl – top tip – check their site regularly to get in there first.

We’re getting ready for our Christmas party and wondering how to accessorise a lovely Cherry adorned wiggle dress – we came across Deco Girl’s exciting collection of Bakelite Jewellery that we just had to share with you.

Wanda, buys and sells vintage clothing, jewellery and accessories on Deco Girl. You’ll find vintage Bakelite, plastics, costume jewellery, amazing brooches, deco period vintage jewellery and even a great collection of Lea Stein.

And..if you really want to go out like Carmen Miranda, you could get the earrings too!

Happy Shopping – Toodle Pip!

Phew…back from Paris – what an adventure! More on that later as we have some useful shopping tips.

We’ve since been to Leeds and London, where we were told to look out for Tess Daly on some lovely theatrical Billboards for La Senza’s new Christmas advertising campaign ‘Steal the Show.’ She’s probably adorning La Senza shop fronts too – lucky us!

Tess Daly La Senza Christmas Ads

Love the style and lighting used in these ads. They are injecting a little bit of glamour back into the underwear world.

Its good to see a move away from the Wonderbra lusty world of big boobs which has become a bit boring and a move to a celebration of almost burlesque glamour…makes me want to buy underwear!

Do you agree?

For those that don’t know her, Tess Daly is a mother of two and wife of Vernon Kay, currently presenting with Bruce Forsyth on Strictly Come Dancing TV show in the UK.

We love the ads hint at Moulin Rouge showgirl style and can’t wait to see them in real life.

Happy Friday – Toodle Pip!

Hello Friday Flirts – bit late today – we been distracted by the Halloween flurry and are not getting round to much flirting!

Thought we’d share some recent Halloween themed Vintage Finds from some of our favourite sites…

Vintage Halloween Postcards

Vintage Halloween Postcard on Old Postcards

The more we read, the more we realise Vintage Halloween postcards are quite collectable and worth a tidy little sum in mint condition. We do like collecting postcards, so here’s some of our favourites from Old Postcards

Through 30 years of travel they have acquired over 3 million vintage postcards in numerous categories, from Art Nouveau to Make-Up to Wrestling.

We’ve not yet used them ourselves, but they do ship worldwide – definitely worth a look!

Vintage Inspired Halloween Accessories

Art Deco Bat Girl Cup Cake Toppers

The brilliant FlapperGirl is selling these lovely Art Deco Bat Girl Cup Cake Toppers in sets of six, on her etsy store.

Flapper Girl also makes to order, so if you want something a little different for your cup cakes, be it for a vintage inspired wedding or just a sun drenched picnic in the park full of champagne and glamour (sigh), these could be the icing on the cake (groan…sorry…)

Definitely a cute Halloween accessory to make you the hostess with the mostess!

Happy Friday Vintage lovers everywhere!

We’re currently chilling out with Stan/Adam and Jamie in the lovely city of Bristol but we couldn’t let this Friday pass without mentioning the georgous Gianny L and posting her DIY Vintage 1970’s Style Tunic clip.

A simple way to use up those odd bits of vintage material you fell in love with, but haven’t worked out how to use yet. Love the cheeky music too.
