Here at Perk Up! we are really excited to be taking part- the lovely organizer of this event Joan Murray took some great photos of some of our vintage pieces on site at the Royal Marine Hotel to coincide with the Press Release for the fair

For those ladies who wish to complete the whole vintage fashion look theres no better place to start than with hair & make up- ladies in the 40′s & 50′s knew a thing or two about styling

The Pin Up girl look (think Katy Perry & Dita Von Teese) is becoming huge and lets face it- this look oozes femininity & sex appeal!

We’ve added a couple of tutorials here on how to get that Pin Up girl thing going on!

Of course you’ll need the perfect vintage dress after all that work!

Check out our fabulous 50s Dresses for ultimate feminine glamour

Enjoy!
