We heart Christmas Jumpers!

Here at Truly Madly Vintage, we are completely in love with Christmas jumpers! And as luck would have it, we have lots and lots of really cool jumpers & cardigans to keep you warm and looking great this winter. As it says in the Guardian, jumpers are definitely in this season! 

Most of our jumpers are from the USA, so there's even more of a guarantee you will have a complete one-off.

Loving this mohair 80s jumper!

There's nothing cooler than reindeers on a jumper...

We also have lots of chunky knit cardigans for men and women in stock.

There are lots more jumpers & cardigans in the shop than I've posted on here, so pop in and try some on before they all sell out! See you soon :)

hooga boutique

Wow what a great day we had last Saturday! Absolutely loved hooga boutique, can't wait for the next one!

We were joined by Hetty Rose shoes who along with hooga, where the event was held, organised the day with us. We had vintage makeovers from Papillon Beauty, handmade vintage jewellery from Charming Grace Jewellery, delicious cakes from Blue Bird Kitchen, workshops from Make, Do & Mend, a swap shop from Off The Rails, live ceroc dancing from Ceroc Flair, live 40s style singing from Ellie Powell and a fabulous catwalk performed by local girls modelling Truly Madly Vintage clothes and co-ordinated by the super talented Louise Thomas! We also had vintage inspired cocktails in teacups and films like Grease & Breakfast at Tiffanys were being played on the big screen...I don't know about anyone else, but that was pretty much a perfect day for me!

Check out the pictures of the event below and for more photos, check out our facebook page...

Some pictures to inspire you

Over here at Truly Madly Vintage the lovely Hayley has been working on collating some pictures to give you style inspiration and also to help if you are looking to create a specific era look for a party or event.  You can see pages for decades from the 1930s to the 1980s below and if you double click on them you'll get a bigger picture of the images.

Don't worry if you don't think you'll remember all the details as the pages are also available in the shop for you to refer to, just ask to see them and we'll have them ready for you.

So, whether you are a vintage aficionado or new to vintage styles, take a look at lovely pictures of real people wearing the fashions of the day and be inspired...
