The Vintage Home

Creating the perfect, restful and welcoming home is something that we all strive for and if vintage is your style then there are a myriad of ways that you can bring fascinating objects into your home to create the perfect look.

The current trend for vintage styling has even been picked up by The Guardian and their article on the subject is available online http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/oct/23/anatomy-of-style-vintage. 

The best thing with vintage styling is that you just can't go wrong!  Any item that you love can contribute to the look as there are no set rules about what can and cannot be included.  If you are looking for beautiful vintage items then you can go out a scour charity shops, car boot sales, antiques centres (never as expensive as they sound!) and vintage shops.

If there is anything that you are looking for in particular please do get in touch and we will do our best to help you track down that perfect addition to your vintage home.

Host your own Vintage Fashion Party!

If you are based in the Essex area we are able to offer you the opportunity to host a Vintage Fashion Party, where we come to your home (or other party venue) with a selection of our collection.

All you need to do is collect together a group of friends (10 or more works best) and we will do the rest. We'll supply 50+ dresses (ranging in size from 6-18) along with separates and lots of accessories and jewellery as well as some bottles of bubbly (or non-alcoholic alternative if requested) to get the party started. You and your friends peruse the rails at your leisure and have the ability to try everything on before purchasing. If requested in advance we can also match the items we bring to your requirements, for example, if you need prom outfits or clothes of a specific era,we can pick out a range of these to bring along with our other items.

As a reward for organising, the hostess of the party can earn rewards to allow her to add to her own vintage collection at a reduced price. After all, the best hostesses are the ones who know how to indulge without paying for it the next day!

If you are interested in finding out more please do not hesitate to contact us via Philippa@TrulyMadlyVintage.com

Truly Madly Vintage Love Paloma Faith

At Truly Madly Vintage we've been listening a lot to Paloma Faith's album Do you want the truth or something beautiful and it's AMAZING! Her voice is spectacular and really reminds us of Etta James and Nina Simone. If you haven't heard it yet you should definitely check it out asap!

We also love her unique style which mixes vintage style with quirkiness so that she really stands out from the crowd. You can find Paloma-style outfits at TrulyMadlyVintage.com so come along to out website and check them out.
