this will probably be the fastest, least eloquent blog post in a while. the reason is that i am jetting off (if you can call ryanair jetting…) to the canary islands in 15 hours’ time, and have therefore pulled out all the stops to photograph, edit, measure, describe and list eleven new items for your viewing pleasure. no, i haven’t packed. yes, i do have to go out and buy...

tess
as promised, here is the new collection of vintage lovelies that are coming to the shop on monday night. today, i’ve named them ‘tess’. it wasn’t going to be ‘tess’ originally, it was supposed to be ‘working girl’, but the connotations that summons up are too… well too. both ‘tess’ and ‘working girl’ refer of course to...

on thursday, i got my hair cut. this is a bigger deal than it sounds, due to my overwhelming fear of hairdressers. i don’t know if it’s just me or if other people out there feel the same, but the thought of sitting in a chair and letting someone just do what they will with my precious locks, combined with rather awkward conversation (you can only find so many things to say to a...

sirius in store
hello lovelies :) today, after much hectic measuring and frowning at ebay listings, this new set of vintage goodness is up for sale on ebay. it’s called ‘sirius’ because… well, if you really want to know, read here. it involves astronomy and roman beliefs, and is clearly a useful way to procrastinate.
my absolute favourite is the last skirt, the navy blue wrap one. it...

tea set&giveaway winner

billy goat gruff
earlier in the week, me and greg found this bridge while walking, and it seemed like the perfect place to take some vintage clothing inspiration photographs. believe you me, i was getting tired of fields! this tiny bridge must’ve been about a metre wide, spanning over a tiny waterfall.
on friday, having sent off romilly’s very first parcel, we set off to do the shoot. i am very...
what time is it, mr wolf?
the lovely piia at bowtiediary sent me pictures of these watch rings she makes :) they are too sweet for words, and i love the gold-rimmed one. but then i am very partial to rings of all sorts in general… very very partial :)

if nobody buys them i’ll take it as a hint and keep them for myself! my favourite is this vintage blouse :) it is super soft and super light and has the most fantastic print, the kind that catches your eye immediately if...

blackberry winter
today, finally, i’ve decided to bite the bullet and publish some of the stock that will be going up on sale on ebay. i’ve worked and re-worked my ebay listing into one that my very critical eye is finally happy with. i wanted to be a graphic designer some years ago and it was nice to get bogged down into tags and attributes again, if only for nostalgia’s sake :)
introducing the...

scent of an icon
it’s been a little quiet on the blog front: my apologies, it was one of those weeks where i couldn’t find a spare second to go out and get more photos done for romilly. today, however, me and my lovely photographer got up at 5.30 am to get some shots done before he had to leave for his other, full-time, not as fun job :)
while everybody else dreamt lovely dreams, i filled my morning...

who, what, where, when...
so a little explanation is due about romilly: after years of being vintage’s biggest fan, I’ve decided that it’s due time to share the love. so romilly then, is a selection, a collection of the treasures found while on the hunt!
romilly, if you like, is my chance to indulge myself and rescue beautiful clothes - without having to justify to myself that I’ve already got...
