With this seasons festivities looming we look at some fun and creative ways to put some vintage sparkle into your Christmas. If you’re anything like me, you’ve left all your Christmas shopping till the last possible minute and are now in a flutter over what to buy your nearest and dearest. Bored with the usual department store offerings? Thinking alternative this year? Well, fear not – with thrifty and unique retro items the possibilities are endless.
Forget the chaotic high streets and take a wander down vintage lane. Whether you’re on the hunt for the perfect gift for your better half, kids, parents or friends, if you lend yourself to some creative thinking a vintage goodie will not only offer a really personal choice, but should save you a pretty penny or two!
Ok – I’m not suggesting that today’s children will be content with an old woollen stocking stuffed with walnuts and tangerines but in these days of Blu-ray and X-
Box, retro kids toys and activities might offer real novelty value (think Spacehoppers, Potter Wheels and Sweet Factories.) What about a vintage board game for Dad? A nostalgic trip is always a sure fire way to get into the good books (be prepared for some ‘when I was young’ tales though!) There is a great range available at vintagetoybox.co.uk and vintage-games.co.uk where you will find everything from original Battleships to Subbuteo, plus a selection of other vintage and antique toys, dolls and bears.
Mums will adore vintage china, jewellery, perfume bottles and retro kitchenalia items. If you are buying for someone you know like the back of your hand then, of course, vintage clothing or accessories are a winner. Remember that vintage sizing bears no relevance to todays though, so go on measurements and not sizes printed in labels. A good quality vintage bag (I can highly recom-mend JoaniesJunk.co.uk)
is bound to get a good reaction as everyone loves a good handbag. You can find everything from clothing to bags and hats at vintage shops and local fairs.Adorn your humble abode in vintage decorations and lights but remember to get old wiring checked out/replaced before using. These may require some sourcing but vintage tree decorations and baubles are very popular on eBay at the moment... Grab yourself a vintage cookbook and bake up a few nostalgic treats for family and friends.
If at this point your thinking ‘woahhh vintage overload’ then pick and choose the elements to suit you, and, if you’re apprehensive about buying vintage gifts for people start smaller and make some old school style pretty paper crackers with vintage cufflinks / necklaces, hankies.
Merry Christmas Everybody, Annie xx

Whatever you do this Christmas, make it a good one. I will be enjoying a traditional turkey dinner with home grown vegetables, served on a vintage dining set, whilst sipping on a Gin Fizz and listening to some old school Christmas tunes! To be followed later by a cocktail (or two), 1980s charades and a jolly old game of Twister! Here are some more ideas for you... Follow me on Twitter - @AnnieAtticVtg

Well, its Christmas time and that means that the party invites will be flooding in! Worried how to make your look extra special for the festive season? Here we show you how to create a 1950’s look with a sprin-kling Beauty Queens’ Christmas sparkle! Ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed and moisturised with prod-ucts correctly suited for your skin type. Take extra care with your skin this time of year, as the cold weather can be harsh to it. It is also very important to remember your skin can become very dehydrated from all the party excesses, so remember to drink lots of water! This is one of our key beauty tips and it doesn’t cost a penny! However, if you have forgotten to top up on the H20, Dermalogica’s Skin Hydrating Booster is a fantastic way to make your skin feeling soft & fresh. Apply under-neath your moisturiser. Once your skin is all prepped and feeling lovely, apply the appropriate foundation for your skin tone. Conceal any blemishes and remember to cover any dark circles under the eyes. This is another give-away area of over-indulging! Dark circles can be caused by too many late nights & toxins (i.e. naughty food & drink!!) so make sure use a good conceal-er - Bobbi Brown’s are particularly good. Dust with powder.
Now to create a little definition, apply a highlighter to the cheekbones & the brow bone (the bit underneath your eyebrow). We love MAC’s Crème Colour in “Pearl”. This isn’t typical of a 1950’s look but it just makes the overall finish just that little bit more special! Top with a dusting of MAC’s iridescent pressed powder in “Belightful” to create a sparkling shimmer across the cheekbones. Sweep a iridescent nude eyeshadow across the eyelid (We have used MAC’s “Blanc Type”) and define the socket-line with a darker shade of eyeshadow (Try MAC’s “Omega”).
Now to create those statement 50’s flicks! A lot of girls ask us the best way to create eye-flicks and we strongly recommend a gel liner. The advantage of this type of liner is that they are really easy to apply and they give you the luxury of being work the product on, without setting too fast. However, when they do set, they don’t budge - which is exactly what you want, especially if you’re going to be dancing all night! The best way to apply liner is with a slanted-tip brush and a steady hand! Practice is everything with eye-flicks – we get asked a lot how is the best way to do them & the most important thing is just to take your time. Now, we’ve got something special planned for these Christmas flicks so we’ll return to these in a minute….
To add a little bit of festive glamour, take inspiration from the 50’s Hollywood starlets and get some false lashes! Our favourites our Eylure (available in Boots, Superdrug & many other stores), who have a huge selection! They are the original eyelashes that were worn by many, many film stars. Apply a small amount of glue along the spine, allow to become slightly tacky and then apply above the lashes. Then apply a coat of mascara to join the falsies up with your own lashes.Now back to those eye-flicks…to make them a little more glamorous than your normal look, take some black diamantes (available in many craft stores) and with tweezers, carefully apply along the line you have already created. This will really make you eyes sparkle!
Nothing says glamorous like red lips! So take your favourite red lipstick – we have used MAC’s “Lady Danger” and apply to the lips. We added a little gloss on top to balance the lips with the sparkly eyes.
To complete the look, add a sweep of blush to your cheeks. Always do your blush at the end, as it prevents you from going overboard with it! So there you have it, Beauty Queens’ twist on a 1950’s make-up look! Give it a try, we hope it gets you plenty of kisses under the mistletoe!
INTRODUCES YOU TO OUR FRONT COVER COMPANY BERETK!AH...
With a great interest towards a different approach to bridal fashion and vintage fashion in particular, more designers are now confident in presenting their unusual vintage inspired collections to the public - let it be clothes or accessories.
When Tatiana Ashakova launched her millinery and fascinator brand Beretk!Ah… the idea behind was to create a unique and unusual, unconventional – if you want – range for those stylish brides who wouldn’t want to go to a traditional bridal shop to buy their hair accessory. Knowing this type of a customer in person (Tatiana has worked as a bridal stylist for more than 5 years) she knew what they wanted and this is how her unique bridal head wear designs came to life.
“I am not aiming at volumes, - says the milliner, - I am happier to create one-off piece and make this one person feel very special!” This approach won Tatiana many of her stylish
clients, who, needless to say, appreciate the craftsmanship and personal approach.
The milliner draws inspiration from everywhere – her new British lifestyle and abundance of antique shops where one finds all these old things, photographs and cards, her Russian heritage and a totally different mentality, which also brings a great portion of uniqueness to her designs. “I love experimenting with styles and combining new and old. I am sure I was born in the wrong era…but I can’t complain really!”
However there are popular designs which win Beretk!Ah… customers’ hearts – for example a mini flower bird cage has had many modification and has been adopted to a cocktail hat etc. “It just takes one-two designs to make the brand recognizable and it is crucial to create it in the early stage”, Tatiana shares her strategic approach.
All in all to make each bride the most happy on her most special day is the ultimate goal for Beretk!Ah… and step by step Tatiana makes it happen – recently by opening an on-line shop at www.beretkah.co.uk.

INTRODUCES YOU TO ROBIN & ROSE
My background is Fashion Design and I work full time for a UK ladieswear brand but I have always wanted to run my own company. My parent’s have a farm in rural Ireland and my Mother has handknit countless cardigans, sweaters & accessories for family and commercially so hence the independent streak!
The Robin & Rose online shop was launched in 2009 initially with stock from UK based brands such as Rosehip and Gwendolen, along with some European and Australian brands. I sourced affordable gift items with a feminine modern edge but wanted to add my own products to add a point of difference.I have always enjoyed making things so when I found out about The Make Lounge in Islington, I quickly
signed up for an evening class on how to make vintage soy teacup candles. I enjoyed it so much that I tweaked the idea & gave it my own twist and in June 2010 packed my bag and headed to The Vintage Tea Party & Gift Fair in Highgate with a small range of handmade eco soy candle jars, the reaction was really positive and it gave me the confidence to grow the range of fragrances on offer.
Alongside the candle range, I also make handmade sugar body scrubs and plan to introduce bath salts and lip balms in the New Year. Again these ideas stemmed from a lovely Bath & Body evening class at The Make Lounge.
I think many people are growing tired of the High Street, money is tight and customers
are looking for something special when they do spend, it is a great opportunity for small independent designers and local markets to grow and there is no better time to support innovative local designers & retailers.

As Movember comes to a close, and I work on my moustache crochet pattern, it appears that Christmas has come around again! After the feelings of “Panic! I haven’t started Christmas shopping” had subsided, for it is custom in our family to begin buying gifts in late August… don’t ask me why, I started to think about how I could add a touch of vintage into this year’s celebrations. Of course, my mind jumped straight to the obvious: clothes. So, I set off to find the perfect vintage inspired Christmas outfit.
As a rule, I do not believe in fate, I am far too sceptical for anything like that, but I suppose it could be argued that I was meant to stumble across the Vintage Emporium whilst I was lost in Brick Lane. Fellow cynics will agree that it was probably due to
coincidence and maybe even the laws of probability that I found this wonderful place. However, it was filled with such a magic that even I was tempted to believe that my finding it was down to some otherworldly influence. My friend and I were very eager to escape down the stairs into the Emporium. What a place! Full to the brim with beautiful items from the 1920’s to the 1940’s, stepping into that room felt like stepping back in time (please excuse the cliché). As soon as I entered, I knew that I had to include it in an article.
At first I did not know how I was going to link it to Christmas, but then I took a look around me and realised that I had been missing the obvious. I was surrounded by luxurious furs and richly coloured dresses, all of which
would be perfect for a Christmas vintage look.
Later that day, we hopped on a train to Covent Garden, where I fell upon Collectif. I had heard about this place in the November issue of the Vintage Rag Mag, so I thought that it could do me no harm to have a little look around. Here, I found a wonderful, very Christmassy dress. So, along with a few handmade gifts, that is my vintage Christmas!14

SAM GREENBERG ARE BACK WITH THEIR VINTAGE PREMIUM
LABELSam Greenberg is fast becoming a household name when it comes to vintage clothing. With a legacy of shops around Shoreditch and Soho, and a long established concession space in Topman Oxford Circus, Sam is becoming quite the man on freshly famed ASOS Marketplace.
Launching in September on Topman and towards Christmas on Asos Marketplace Sam Greenberg Premium adds a touch of class with many high end labels such as; YSL, Burberry, and Brooks Brothers to name a few.
With this collection predominantly 70s and 80s, it displays the decades of decadence, reminiscent of the Roaring 20’s. It saw new dances, new clothes, and new music arrive on the
scene. The women wore leg warmers and the men wore skinny ties. Ronald Reagan was president and the Berlin wall came down. The music was some of the best since the 1950’s and it seemed everyone was carefree. The clothing matched the attitudes of the day…men dressed in power.
While the women were wearing shoulder pads to look more masculine, men discovered pinstripes again. Suits were made of natural materials, such as wool, cotton and silk, an image of higher quality. Wearing something with a historical background has always been a conversation starter, but the rise of Sam Greenberg Premium pushes haute couture up next to cute casuals at Topman Oxford Circus. Topman a little unhandy? Carnaby Street and Chelsea’s
Kings Road can be forgotten; get to the virtual parade of Asos Marketplace. It’s time to treat yourselves gents, this is non-compromised comfort and exceptional quality to carry on the legacy of the label.

We could not help but write about new film My Week With Marilyn as this months Editors Pick and add in some gorgeous sneak peak photos from the film. We cannot wait for the gorgeous clothing, hair, make up & acting from the all star cast of the film. In theatres late November this year.
The film focuses on the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), is just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’.
The film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams), who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Aurthur Miller (Dougray Scott).
Nearly 40 years on, his diary account The Prince, the Showgirl and Me was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as My
Week with Marilyn - this is the story of that week.
When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work. -- Weinstein

THE VINTAGE RAG MAG TAKE THEIR VINTAGE HUNT TO
NEW YORKThis November The Vintage Rag Mag visited New York in search of all things
Vintage. Staying in Soho we had such an amazing time we are already planning a trip back in the New Year but we thought we would share our favourite shops and our favourite buys with you. The shops we are focusing on are all located on 1st Avenue
- Yes all these amazing shops were in walking distance of each other!
Archangel AntiquesThis fantastic little antique shop was
packed full of vintage clothing along with an array of unusual antiques. The amount
of goodies packed into this small shop was almost overwhelming with small items such as beads and buttons right up to vintage luggage, prints and clothing.
Located at 334 9th Street between 1st & 2nd Avenue.
CobblestonesCobblestones has to be for me the ultimate vintage shop found on my search
down 1st Avenue. The front window drew me in and once I was in I was hocked. The amount of clothing, shoes, handbags and hats packed in this amazing shop could be overwhelming for some but I love searching for items and this was the
perfect setting to do it in. Located at 314 9th Street between 1st & 2nd Avenue, the shop has been running in this same spot for 31 years!

WHEN VINTAZIA VINTAGE FAIR MEETS THE JANUARY SALES
“If you can’t beat them, join them”
VISITEDThe Vintage
Room Fashion Fair - Kingston
Saturday Nov 5th saw the Market House, in the bustling centre of Kingston upon Thames, transformed into a showroom from a different era for the Vintage-Room Fashion Fair’s debut fair.The lovely venue with its period features was the perfect backdrop for what was a fantastic fair to be introduced to the Surrey area.
The coveted vintage fair brought an all-day vintage shopping experience to the very heart of Kingston Upon Thames and offered a fantastic alternative to shoppers who might be frustrated by crowded high streets and lacklustre gift ideas. At the fair, shoppers had the
chance to browse over 20+ carefully selected vintage stalls selling a brilliant range of truly unique, one-of-a-kind Vintage fashion, homeware and Organic beauty products. Party dresses, winter coats and jewellery from the Twenties to the Eighties was available along with Vintage menswear from the lovely Karen at Ikkonik Vintage who looked after her boys very well!
To top it off, the 50 goody bags to the first 50 paying shopper was such a treat! Additionally, fair goers rested their Vintage loving tired feet and relaxed with a cuppa and a piece of delicious homemade cake at
the Vintage Tea Room from Pink Sheep Bakery or booked themselves into the Beauty Parlour for a spot of pampering, a set of Victory Rolls or truly glamorous vintage make-up. The Vintage-Room Fashion Fair is definitely bringing a unique new shopping experience to Kingston and the Surrey area.
We cannot wait to attend their Christmas Fair on Sat Dec 17th. Kingston is very excited to have The Vintage-Room Fashion Fair just at their doorstep!
