A Pin-Up Christmas Gift Guide.............

So I've been pretty absent from posting lately, partly due to tightening the purse strings for Christmas and partly to do with an exciting new project I'm working on (all will be revealed very soon!) but I've been doing a LOT of wishlisting ahead of Christmas so I thought I'd pull together a gift guide for those of you shopping for a retro gal (or for those of you wanting to start planning your sales shopping!

Personally I think it's super easy to buy for the vintage/pin up/retro inclined because there's so much choice and loads of decent stuff in all price ranges. However, we can be very specific about what is decent and what isn't so unless you've got the inside scoop on the best brands or the right websites it can be a bit of a minefield!


Under £10
Let's start with the cute little extras that won't break the bank! These would all make great secret santa gifts or stocking fillers.

1. Hellbunny cinch belt, Audrey Stars Boutique website, £5.95
2. What Katie Did retro seamed stockings, £8.50
3. Splendette butterscotch carved bangle, £8.00
4. Bow and Crossbones silver holographic linda hoops, £8.00

£10-£25

Medium sized gifts that'll put a smile on the face of any retro lady :)

1. Erstwilder diner brooch, Audrey Stars Boutique website, £16.95
2. Atomic Swag Texas t-shirt, Campbell's Crafts website, £17.00
3. Luxulite winter scene brooch, £16.50

£25-£50

For most retro style clothing this is still a reasonable price range so go for a staple cosy top or a kitsch print in a less luxurious brand...

1. Collectif Chrissie Fair Isle jumper, £39.50
2. Tara Starlet tie front shirt, £45
3. Lindy Bop cocktail print Audrey dress, £29.99

£50-£100

This is where pretty much most of the statement pin up style pieces fit, it's that little bit much to justify spending on yourself too often so any of these classics will go down a treat!

1. What Katie Did Maitresse Set, Full set £86.50
2. Lady K Loves classic jeans, £65
3. Seamstress of Bloomsbury Lauren Siren Suit, £89
4. Vivien of Holloway Red Rose Halter Dress, £69

£100+
This is pretty much the stuff most of us only ever dream of or save up for 6,000 years to buy so will probably be accompanied by squealing or, if you're me, crying (I'm not much of a cryer generally but big gifts always open the flood gates!)

1. Pin Up Girl Clothing Monica dress, Deadly is the Female website, £135
2. Violets in May Jessica Dress, £100
3. Miss L Fire Alpine Boots, £134.99

Hopefully that little round up will give you some inspiration or at least a place to start. I'm definitely lusting after a few of these myself - hopefully Santa thinks I've been good this year! What are you hoping to find under the tree this year????
