Vintage Baker Finds - Rebecca Jade's Vintage

Every so often I find a vintage supplier who's so good I have to share. So while they might not always be 'Bristol' based, they certainly get the Bristol Vintage & Vintage Baker Finds seal of approval.

This week is all about Rebecca Jade's Vintage.


Rebecca Jade's Vintage is an independent online shop specialising in high quality, wearable (and affordable!) vintage clothing and accessories from the 1940s to the 1980s.


Whether you're after a pair of fabulous Gina shoes or a reproduction 1950s cherry swing dress, her online shop is a treasure trove of vintage finds.


How about a rock 'n roll underskirt for your 50s dress?


Or a peach and cream lace blouse complete with original receipt from 1947!


Rebecca Jade sources and sells the very best so you can buy with confidence. Each piece is handpicked, washed and steamed so it's ready to wear.


Find out more on the website, follow her on Facebook or check out Pinterest for more inspiration. You can also find Rebecca Jade's Vintage at fairs throughout the UK. Check the website for more details.

When Sarah Baker isn't writing children's books she writes features for Vintage Life Magazine and Pretty Nostalgic. You can find her on Twitter @bysarahbaker or follow her on Pinterest.

Vintage Baker Finds - The Styling Lounge

Every so often I find a vintage supplier who's so good I have to share. So while they might not always strictly be 'Bristol' based, they certainly get the Bristol Vintage & Vintage Baker Finds seal of approval.

This week is all about The Styling Lounge.


The Styling Lounge is home to Creative Director and super stylist, Amelia Shorter.


With Amelia, it's vintage-chic VIP treatment all the way. She gives every style her own creative twist whether it's on-trend braiding and plaits, the classy low chignon, half-updos, retro pin curls or soft, romantic waves with real flower accessories.


For Amelia, it's all about getting to know you. From the moment you sit down and share your wedding theme, dress design and vision, you'll have a completely personal service. Once you've talked over your ideas and gone through pictures, it's on to trying out some of the styles to see which suits you best.


On the day, Amelia stays with you until you're dressed and ready to go, just in case there are any last minute hair issues or finishing touches required. 


So for vintage-chic VIP treatment, book your consultation at The Styling Lounge. You can check out more styles on the website, on Facebook or follow Amelia on Twitter for hair tips and special offers.

See you soon for more Vintage Baker Finds!
