So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

We Love: Baroque

By Sisi Tsoi


When discussing vintage with the pedants of the fashion industry, it's often hard to think about how far back in the past we can include. Vintage as a sub category of the fashion world however usually consists of the 20s through to the late 70s early 80s, a time in which style and fashion took centre stage and precedent in peoples' lives.

Designers on the other hand are continuously taking their inspiration from design in the past, from circumstances and situations not expressly fashion and trend related. The sharp and computed plans of Junywa Watanabe are broadly identical to the shapes and colours seen inside the modern upheaval of the industrial revolution, where as the false cover up figure suits and jackets seen at Chanel are unmistakably taken from and takes influence from the ice age.

Culturally, socially and financially, Baroque is equivalent to a period in history, known for its innovative style and flexibility. Craft and design took a monstrous swerve from the standard and came to be more altruistic and creative yet just as exaggerated. Beginning in Italy and France, it soon assumed control over the lion's offer of Europe and was widely picked up and distinguished by all. Famous all throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth century, it wasn't much long before Baroque proceeded onward from being inventive in the feeling of move, theatre and artistic works and began to improve into fashion, trend and style.

Broad lace and linen designs allowed for waistlines to be softened and become more gentile whilst sleeves became fuller and larger-than-life. Femininity was celebrated and the modern woman allowed fashion to become a central part of her existence and her life. Relative to this is that throughout modern times, fashion within the art of vintage style dresses has meant that women everywhere can appreciate and perform within something they're comfortable wearing.

21st century baroque however has joined from a honestly unassuming and obvious incline in association with the times, to something significantly more bombastic. Exaggerated and extensive designs and arrangements are still apparent and utilised yet to a significantly more staggering degree. Enhanced fitted covers and weaved vintage style dresses show that the persistent work and precision of high street brands can be the equivalent of top end designers.

It's not a pattern that is to be taken softly and wearing an baroque style vintage dress can help you move away from the conventional into something significantly more tremendous and wondrous. Think regal charm and sparkle; pair your dress with a show of jewels....and who says they must be legitimate!
