Always immaculately turned out, Solanah favours fashions from the late 30s, 40s and 50s. Her approach to vintage is non-purist: her look often incorporates elements from different periods, sometimes mixed with modern pieces, though usually with an overall 'feel' of a particular era.

Wow - what a fantastic idea for a feature and what an absolute stunner! Definitely love to see more of these.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea...I seem to accidentally 'steal' styles from online, then realise part way through the day!
ReplyDeleteSolanah is definetly a vintage - modern- icon!
ReplyDeletehanks for sharing!
What a great idea! I look forward to read more of this feature!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Can't wait to see future posts!
ReplyDeleteShe's probably my fave vintage blogger. I love her style. I just don't have the wallet or lifestyle to wear the lovely clothing she has.
ReplyDeleteI personally adore Solanah's style - especially her fab collection of socks. I just cannot pull that look off AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea for a feature!
Great post - Solanah is one of my vintage heros. I bought a dress that cried out to me on the rail today at a fair and i've just realised its virtually the same as the first dress of hers in this post!!! *Subliminal vintage messages* me thinks!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog btw xx
I love Solanah's blog and she's a really friendly girl!!! I'm a vintage purist, I never mix era always 50's or 40's, but I think she can mix things with taste and feminity (for example not wearing a jeans under a 40's dress... a thing that I have already seen...)

She's a wonderful vintage girlie and what a good idea to give ideas of how to emulate the look!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love how you took so many cute outfits of hers and found similar items, and especially that you found lots of small shops to promote. So cute, thanks for sharing this!
