Hi I'm Angie, this March there is a social thread called Meet The Maker #marchmeetthemaker and this is my contributing post. I feel a bit of a fraudulent maker at the moment as I'm still in transition phase and the only 'made' things you can really see on my website are shortened vintage tops. So instead I'm going to use this post to talk about sizing and styling. These lovely pictures of me (ahem) are snaps from last weekend - a busy mum running errands and doing chores. I'm not exactly a skinny-minny - my mum bod is a temple of perfection - to the love of cake and carbs! What these pics illustrate (as well as saying Hi 👋) is...
I've been feeling a bit flat this week. It's always the same after an event for me and one of the reasons I don't do too many these days. It takes me time to get back into the swing of things after working towards the goal of a market and its a rollercoaster of emotions and tiredness levels. I'm very in tune with nature and often find my moods change in line with the moon and the seasons and always take note of what's happening in the astrological plane. If like me you like a little guidance then I find Sarah Wilder and Mystic Mamma great knowledge sources to tap into the mysteries of the planet. “We now enter a time of turning...
This week I had the joy to tuck myself away in a quiet corner of the house and indulge myself in reading a copy Vogue with a cup of Earl Grey. It seems a wonderfully indulgent thing to do these days but it's important to take time out to relax once in a while!Back in the olden days in London circa 1993 I'd spend a fortune on magazines and stock up every month. Vogue, Elle, ID, The Face and Dazed and Confused were my 90's magazines of choice. As a fashion student in London before the internet took over, Magazines were really the main source of trend forecasting for the fashion student. We'd also go to whatever Fashion Shows we could blag our way...
I've geared up 4 rails of fabulous clothes from the 80's and 90's - originals and re-worked items. Last time this was a fab event with music, fashion and collectibles from a great selection of stallholders such as Pretty Frocking Vintage, South of the River, and Roni & Poly to name but a few!For more info check out Mixtape Markets
Believe it or not Kitten Vintage has been knocking around in some way, shape or form since 2011... back in the days of rainy Manchester and my old shop life of my old label, Me&Yu I used the name Kitten Vintage to sell some of my secondhand clothes and cherished vintage pieces before making the big move to Australia.The migration to Sydney was absolutely life changing. I'm forever thankful to those people close to me and supported me through this turbulent time of my life. Starting all over again in your late 30's is harder than you'd ever imagine. Last September marked the 5th Anniversary (Wood??) of our arrival in Australia and well it's not turned out exactly as we'd imagined...We lost...
