Cooler than ice-cream, warmer than the sun....

Ice-Cream Sundae Dress
Now the nights are drawing in and the weather is getting cooler, before we start hibernating for the winter, we wanted to have a look back on the long hot summer.  We love the seaside and on scorching, hot days, there's nothing better than cooling down at a good old-fashioned ice-cream parlour.  


 Our stylists found this gorgeous 1950's summer dress in cool ice-cream colour stripes of strawberry, vanilla, mint and blueberry.  The dress is so crisp, fresh, summery and even matches the gorgeous dusky pink and baby blue vintage tall ice-cream sundae dishes! 
1950's Seaside Ice-Cream Parlour
This fabulous fifties' summer dress would have been worn with a headscarf and sunglasses, think Pink Ladies in Grease!  We have teamed the dress with an iconic pair of black Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and a silky floral headscarf. Perfect for a day at the seaside!
Seagull & Ice Green


This aptly titled Seagull and Ice Green vintage dish from Poole Pottery, reflects the minty green stripes in the ice-cream dress, with vanilla raspberry ripple ice-cream echoing the pink and white stripes.





And for an evening stroll along the promenade, a vintage pretty pink parasol, perfect for a Pink Lady to keep a pale complexion!

Hot Pink Parasol
And for the girl who is more of a Sandy than a Pink Lady, there's an eye-catching midnight blue cutesy lace dress, with stunning matching blue lace parasol and a glitzy sapphire stone on the handle.  "Summer days drifting away to, oh, those Summer Nights"!
