Format:Hardcover
This is my favourite of the 'Style Me Vintage' series, it's jam-packed with really useful and no-nonsense advice from what to look out for when vintage shopping to how to remove stale sweat smell.
I am hugely passionate about vintage and as such know quite a lot about period styles, yet I still found this an interesting read - although I think this book will be particularly useful for those new to vintage.
The styles for each decade (usually various looks including daywear, evening wear, formal and more casual styles) are beautifully put together and immaculately styled.
Within the constraints of the format (this isn't meant to be a detailed study)this is a really nifty little guide which works both as an introduction to vintage shopping and styles as well as a lovely read for long-term vintage lovers.

This is a lovely little book packed with great ideas on how to create your own vintage look. Other books I've seen are usually too detailed whereas this one tells you exactly how the get the look without getting bogged down in historical detail. It's also a great present - I have bought it for my daughter who's at uni and just getting into vintage.

I stumbled across this excellent publication whilst looking for presents for my ever stylish sister. This is a refreshingly un-pretentious read with great photography throughout. A top choice to leave amongst your other vintage books on your coffee table.
