A Glamorous Affair

I was looking for a pair of heels to wear to my fellow British Belle, Sophie's birthday party which holds the theme of 1950s Hollywood Glamour. I knew that I wanted original vintage as they always have a special feel to them, and to picture somebody wearing them 60 years ago to dance in and then giving them life makes me happy. My dress is a 1950s salmon pink prom dress, and as I was planning to wear pearl and silver accessories, I needed some silver shoes. 

Mini Post - In Retrospect magazine launch

BREAKING NEWS: BRITISH BELLES ATTEND MAGAZINE LAUNCH!!
Yeah you guessed it - The British Belles got invited to the In Retrospect magazine launch a couple of weeks ago. In Retrospect magazine used to be only available online, but has now ventured out in to print. This magazine takes a look at more 'authentic' vintage life and style. It was chock-a-block with fantastic little articles to read including what to say when someone comments on how you are dressed (a rather amusing and relatable article, I must say). There is also a feature on 1940s inspired day-wear featuring some beautiful garments by Heyday! - well worth a read!

If any of you can remember, I featured the Grace dress by Vivien of Holloway a few weeks ago (click here to see that post) and I mentioned that I would be wearing it to the magazine launch. Here are a few snaps of the dress in action! White faux fur shrug from Matalan. Photos courtesy of PaVan Wilder.
