I have just discovered a fantastic website that sells vintage couture, it's called (not surprisingly) Vintage Couture. It has loads of designers, and also some anonymous items that are equally as gorgeous! Here are my favourite picks from the collection:



Pierre Cardin Coat £654 and Dress £335



Christian Dior Dress £804 and Nina Ricci Dress £2,547



Chanel Suit £4,024 and Chanel Earrings £150



1950s Evening Dress £805 and 1950s Suit £201

Today I received a very large box in the post, containing a book I had recently bought from Amazon.com called Dior: 60 years of style: from Christian Dior to John Galliano. It is MASSIVE!!!! I saw it in the bookshop at the entrance to the Skin + Bones exhibition and it was £90; I knew it would be much cheaper from the internet and, lo and behold, it was £60 on Amazon. I know that is still really expensive for a book, but it is filled with fantastic full page photographs.
