Me & Simon selling our ’70s related wares at the first Super Dooper ’70s Day in 2013. This event, organised by my good buddy Paul McAlpine, was something completely different – primarily he wanted to organise something for 1970s car owners, as cars from this decade often get overshadowed by vehicles from other periods, and back in […] Continue reading → 
<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/14294787/?claim=5c5bnmraugh”>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> My own vintage style has always been the 1950s, with it’s roots in my lifelong love for 1950s music and popular culture.

My name is Susie, I live in Norwich and I love Ipswich. That may be difficult for some folk to grasp as there seems to be a slight tension between the places sometimes which I gather is partially football related, but luckily football is none of my business & in my world I’m allowed […] Continue reading → 
I had a very enjoyable night out with a difference at one of Norwich’s beautiful theatres last Saturday when Mr P & I headed to The Maddermarket for a closer look at the costume department… It all started a couple of weeks ago when I found myself waiting in the bar of The Maddermarket […] Continue reading →
