Frock Me
In the heart of Chelsea is the beautiful Chelsea Old Town Hall and on this first properly sunny Sunday of summer it played host to the Frock Me! Vintage Fair. The beautiful Baroque interior was filled in every nook and cranny with vintage clothing, all of it in perfect condition and all crying out to be added to someone’s wardrobe or collection, only to be worn on the most special of occasions. Every piece seemed to be a real classic. From vintage Gucci leather bags to Yves Saint Laurent jackets and on through dresses, suits, fur coats (totally inappropriate for…

Pimlico Gardens is the setting for Gold Rush: The Last Frontier and Wild West themed seafood festival presented by Shuttlecock, the same company that brought you Mile High. The gardens due to the size offered a more intimate festival which was amplified by the families in attendance. As I absolutely adore seafood I was so excited about this event.
