How to do Vintage

Dear Valentine,

Please can I have this beautiful Pair of Vintage Sparkly shoe clips?

Black Suede and Rhinestone Vintage Shoe Clips from Janne's Vintage in Reigate Surey

Each black suede petal of the flowers is wired so you can fluff them up exactly as you wish. The centre of each flower has a diamante/rhinestone centre surrounded by sixteen smaller stones.

You can find them at Janne’s Vintage Shop in Reigate, Surrey, UK. We’ve not been able to visit in person yet, but cannot resist their website with its unusual accessories and understated elegance.

I’ve loved them for so long…brownie points would be earned for originality…pretty please (fluttering of eye lashes)…

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.
