Wartime Princess - Flying the Flag Vintage style
The young Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in 1952, so
let’s celebrate the Diamond Jubilee by flying the flag vintage style.
The Wartime Princess
This distressed cotton Union Jack shirt was inspired by the
flags and celebration of VE day (8 May 1945) when our queen was still a
princess. Price £60 and available from www.tarastarlet.com
The shirt would look great with the high waisted and wide legged
Swing trousers or shorts but let's glam it up with Tara Starlet‘s satin Hourglass
skirt in rich red.
This below the knee ladylike look is one of the key trends
this year.
Price £65
Seamed stocking were all the rage in the 40s and when they
were scarce during the war that didn’t stop those fashionistas from having
gorgeous pins.
Firstly they stained
their legs with tea and then they’d ask a friend, sister or mother (the one
with the steadier hand) to draw a line down the back of their legs.
No problems here with these M&S Limited
Collection ‘Made in Britain’ back seam tights.
Price £9.50 www.marksandspencer.com
With Upper Street you can design your own pair of shoes, and
for the Jubilee they’ve produced the Rule Britannia Mary Jane peep toe shoe
using navy suede, red snakeskin and white leather. Price £285. But you still
can customise it by changing the material and rearranging the colours. Shoe
sizes range from 1.5 to 10 and fittings from narrow C to extra wide EE.

Timothy Foxx - Exceptionally Eccentric Ladies Tweed Clothing Co.
I first met new designer Rosalie Eustace in September at the fashion pop-up showcase hosted by micro-boutique hotel 40WiNKS. Here she was exhibiting a sample of her designs from her fashion label “Timothy Foxx”. This new label’s signature look is “vintage modern chic” where traditional British tweed is mixed with other fabrics such as silks and cottons. Her main collection shows funky miniskirts with colourful silk panel slits, shorts with silk/cotton patterned patches around the bottom area, and traditional blazers with quirky patterned linings and silk cuffs. Rosalie’s vision was to keep the tweed’s reputation as eccentric but update it to a youthful and fashionable eccentricity. She has now expanded this vision to include women of all ages who want this playful quirkiness but don’t necessarily want to wear a miniskirt. And so Rosalie’s new collection includes the Hazel skirt – a sexy knee length tweed pencil skirt with the hint of a funky lining showing.
Why did Rosalie choose tweed as her main fabric?
Why did Rosalie choose tweed as her main fabric? Well there is a little story to this – are you sitting comfortably? Once upon a time there was a beautiful young princess who loved to sew and one birthday her dreams came true when her fairy godmother presented her with her very own sewing machine. Running out of fabric, the princess decided to raid her father’s (the King,) wardrobe and “borrowed” an old tweed jacket. With the aid of her sewing machine and scissors, she magically transformed the jacket in to a tweed mini skirt with funky silk patterned inserts and lining. She instantly became the belle of the ball and all the other maidens wanted a tweed mini skirt too. As the princess was blessed with a kind heart, she let the maidens borrow her skirt, but found that this meant she never got to wear it again. So she repeated her magic formula and designed another tweed skirt for herself and kind hearted as she was, started designing bespoke skirts for all of her friends. And what of the King? Did he miss his old tweed jacket? Well he may have but as a loving father he never let on. But as a loving daughter the princess made a bespoke jacket to replace the old one.
Why did Rosalie decide on the label name Timothy Foxx?
Rosalie named her new label after a much loved antique wooden horse she had as a toy in her childhood. Now the horse proudly takes centre stage in her fashion show stands.
Now about her collection.
Timothy Foxx has grown to include the long elegant Alexandra jacket (great as a suit with the hazel pencil skirt), and the shorter length Grace Jacket to show off the on trend Livibum shorts and Aimee miniskirts. Other pieces include the Victoria waistcoat, Gregory Union Jack patch flat cap, Maryrose scarves and Timothy Foxx polo shirts.
And what about a collection for all the gentle Prince Charmings?
No immediate plans for a full collection in gentlemen’s wear , but just to keep Prince Charming interested Timothy Foxx is currently creating tweed bow ties, flat caps and casual tops such as hoodies and rugby shirts. But for the moment there is the Timothy Foxx hound silk tie in maroon available.
Where to purchase the Timothy Foxx collection?

This is one fairytale designer who will live happy ever after.
