It isn’t often that I get to spend the day with some of the loveliest vintage ladies out there, but I had just that opportunity when the Lindy Charm School for Girls came to town again. This weekend was a whirlwind of rollers, corsets, tulle, photos, shopping and cocktails… pretty divine really.
Saturday was workshop day, with ladies coming in from all across the state to learn more about how to style their hair in the perfect vintage do, how to take inches off their waists in seconds and how to create the perfect eyelashes to bat. It is always such a pleasure to attend these afternoons and meet so many like minded gals as well as readers I haven’t met before. But the highlight of the weekend for me was getting to spend the evening in the company of all these lovely lasses, cocktails in hand, and enjoy some time at Polly Bar in Melbourne.
We know how to socialise with style!

So after an evening of these shenanigans, we spent the whole next day vintage shopping, trying on dresses, dinning on Italian food, jumble saleing and enjoying a few lemon lime and bitters at the bar.
Now that is how you spend a weekend!
If this is what I have to look forward to in Melbourne then make room, here I come! ^_^
