In love with Vivien of Holloway

by Mandi Gould
written by Mandi Gould

For years I had admired Vivien of Holloway dresses, and when I finally noticed that they had a beautiful honey coloured yellow, I knew it was finally time to buy my first dress. I already owned some of their separates, and the quality is superb. The new Nadine 1940s style did not let me down. The quality is excellent and the cut is just so elegant! Shortly after acquiring the Nadine dress, they had a sale and I couldn’t resist also grabbing the Lana dress in rust. I absolutely love …

Spring & Cherry Blossoms in Niagara

We’ve had some great weather in Niagara this spring! We’re still waiting for the deeper pink cherry blossoms to come out but the white and now the softer pink sakura blossoms are out and they’re just lovely. Not to mention all the tulips! We just love it. I’ve also been a bit obsessed with my Freddies of Pinewood jeans and jacket. I absolutely love having vintage inspired casual clothing like this for regular daily wear. These are the Beat Girl jeans. Here’s a fun little video Geoff put together with …

Are you familiar with Erstwilder brooches? They’re beautiful, whimsical brooches and my favourite accessories. They’re made by a company in Australia and alongside brooches, they also make necklaces, pins, collar clips, scarves, and they’ve recently added purses to their offering. In this video I share some of my collection and also share some of my top tips and tricks. As I mention in the video, in 2019, my dear friend Sing Lim gave me an Erstwilder brooch as a gift and I quickly fell in love and became a little …

Easter 2021

by Mandi Gould
written by Mandi Gould

Last year when we dressed up for Easter, it was still early in the pandemic and we certainly thought that we’d be back to in-person events by Easter 2021. That hasn’t panned out, but even so, it didn’t stop us from getting dressed up. Leading up to this year, I mentioned around a bit online that it would be fun to use the hashtag #VirtualVintageEasterParade to share photos online. I didn’t have time to promote it too much but some people did participate so take a peruse here. We took …

Voyage on the Queen Mary 2

by Mandi Gould
written by Mandi Gould

For our 10 year wedding anniversary at the end of 2019, we made a Transatlantic crossing from London (Southampton) to New York (Brooklyn) on the famous Queen Mary 2. It’s the world’s largest passenger ocean liner rather than a cruise ship, so it’s really designed to sail the seas. And it’s a much more traditional ship, built after the original Queen Mary, which has retired to the Los Angeles area. Here’s a little video reminiscing about our trip! We have some news coming soon all about our return to the …

Virtual Vintage Easter Parade

written by Mandi Gould

Easter Sunday – Virtual Vintage Easter Parade Several years ago we had the opportunity to visit the New York City Easter Bonnet Parade on Fifth Avenue. The cover photo is from that excursion. We thought it was so wonderful, and of course we’re fans of the film, so we brought our own small version of that event to Toronto for a couple of years. We were planning to revive it last year but of course the pandemic interrupted. Instead, we turned it into a virtual even last year and it …

Geoff restored this gorgeous Art Deco vanity for my birthday! It’s incredible. Not sure how he’ll ever top this birthday gift! Ta-da! Here’s the video where you can see Geoff’s restoration process and how he surprised me with it! Now I’ve “moved in” – Of course I had to start to fill it with my things.

Dapper Day Review

written by Mandi Gould

Since we didn’t get to go to Dapper Day in April 2020 as we had planned, we thought we’d make a little video reviewing what exactly is Dapper Day and why do we love it so much! We absolutely love Dapper Day. We’ve been twice to Dapper Day at Disney World and the next time we intend to go to Disneyland where there is both the park outing and also the Dapper Day Expo. Can’t wait!
