Uh oh...here comes trouble! Get Peaky Blinder style...

We're super proud of our Birmingham heritage and what could be better than the magnificent show Peaky Blinders returning to our screens tonight at 9pm!

The inspiration for the show is fascinating and you can read more about it here. The original Brummie boys, the 'Peakys' were local gangsters from a century ago. These violent criminals would sew razor blades into the peak of their flat caps to use as weapons and had a distinctive sartorial style that set them apart from the rest! The girlfriends were described as wearing ornate pearls, a goudy silk handkerchief covering their throat and showing off a full fringe obscuring the forehead, we can only imagine what they would have looked like in one of our dresses...

We really think that Polly and Grace's dark vs light twenties styles really rock the gothic-luxe trend on the catwalks this season, why not take a look at our gothic 1920s style headbands and chokers for a more sultry flapper vibe?

    

    


We love the way this piece of history has inspired one of the most gripping shows we've ever seen...so excited!

Get in the mood with our flapper dress collection, art deco jewellery and flapper headbands for your next night in with the Peaky boys...

'The Cape'

When you first think of a cape, what springs to mind? Are you more of a superhero girl in fancy dress or are you cocooning yourself in the trend that is starting to appear EVERYWHERE this season (or are you both? I'm probably both..)
It’s a trend that has manifested itself into not just the simple basic shape we think  of when the word cape is first mentioned but in wools and wrapped fabric and (dare I say it?) hello 70’s ponchos.
I feel excited by this blanketed fabricated feel for autumnal fashion but as I tried on some potential’s last week I found myself wondering, how wearable is this fashion and how should I style them?
Here at Rock My Vintage we've been putting together a couple of looks with our products to inspire! 
Let us know your favourite/how your going to be wearing a cape this winter!
