I love anything Victorian and if its a miniature version its even better. Here is a lady who makes small hand made top hats, also nautical themed hats which are ideal for a fashion that never dies.

Not only does Ji Ji Kiki make hand made jewellery with a modern or a vintage feel to it but she stocks handmade fascinators too – all perfect for upcoming weddings!

I love this site! If only I had the skill to makes such vintage dresses, a site of true femininity. Have a look here if you need a dress to bring out your inner Marilyn Monroe or a summer dress that’s just that little bit special. The site is Big Beautiful Barbara Brown.

Here are some young new designers on the block – Dotty Tweezers. Making everything any modern gal would want, earrings, bracelets and necklaces including inspiration from poodles to cupcakes.

I had the pleasure of going to college with this young lady, Just Joanna, and she was an amazing artist back then. It only makes sense now that she is illustrating children’s books with the cutest of drawings. She also makes jewellery and has starting making felt animals.

Thanks Clare – you have picked some great things there. Visit Clare’s shop Poisoned Apple Jewellery – I am always complemented when I wear her work!
