Because there are just so many great events on the horizon you won’t want to miss a minute!

This April the fabulous Love Vintage Show is on again in Sydney 16th – 18th April.  This twice yearly event is one that you really can’t afford to miss, whether you adore your vintage or are simply a curious cat. There are stall holders from all across Australia showcasing their vintage wares, from fashion to accessories, textiles to tomes.   I always try and bring a near empty suitcase for this weekend as I know that all self discipline goes out the window!

There are lectures to attend, vintage fashion parades, Charm School workshops and even Best Dressed competitions.  If you live in Sydney you have no excuse for missing this, but even if you are across the other side of the country, this is one weekend you really must plan to make a part of your yearly vintage calendar.

London Burlesque Week is on April 20-25th and if you haven’t heard about this one.. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! I’m particularly proud to say that Australia is being represented by some of our most lovely local girls Rosy Rabbit, Trixie Tassels, Sapphire Demure, The Sugar Blue Burlesque beauties and A’dora Derierre.

If only I had the time and cash to spare, I’d be hot footing it over to make sure I saw every minute of this one. (Mental note – save for next year!) London, I am mighty jealous of you right now!

The Ballarat Heritage Weekend is on over the Mother’s Day weekend, May 8th & 9th, showcasing Ballarat’s beautiful heritage buildings, gardens,collections and history.  There are over 100 events planned for the weekend including carriage rides, tennis and croquet!

Wintersun is happening again in Coolangatta June 4th-14th and if you can imagine a week of pure retro heaven, this is it!  Classic cars, Rock & Roll, Cake Bake off’s, Fashion parades, Vintage Swim Suits Shows (yes I’ll be there!) and Dancing till Dawn!

The Australian Burlesque Festival is nearly here too for it’s very 1st Annual year!  Held in Sydney this June, if you love your old school glamour, spangles and sparkles; make sure to head over and check out our Melbourne Minx’s and Sydney Sweethearts, along with international guests.  So I may yet get to our very own burlesque knees up!

The lovely Lindy Charm School Mistresses are back to take on Melbourne and Ballarat on July 10th, showing you what a Victory Roll actually is and how to do them, when red lipstick is appropriate (always!) and just how to wear your stockings correctly.  All the details for their upcoming workshops are available on their website, so do check it out and make some time to get fancy.

Right, well I’m off to try and sort out my own diary for the next few months! So much to do and see… and shop!
