my timeless closet.

Open up to the 1950s thoughts of Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Gucci, Cristobel Balenciage, Burberry and Pierre Balmain, and step inside my timeless closet. Bask in the glory of 50s icons Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Laugh along with the witty sitcom characters of Lucy Ricardo and Alice Kramden. Then, be drawn back to reality and see 50s inspired celebrity fashion of Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese. You’ll be amazed what you’ll find in my timeless closet.

PIN-UP GIRLS: Sailor Cherry and Miss Kandi Bordeaux.


Ralph, I don't want a million. There's just one guy I want: you - Alice Kramden, The Honeymooners



These girls are absolutely stunning in their 50s pin-up outfits. Working at the Pinup Skool Magazine booth, these dames preach what they practice.
Sailor Cherry is showing off a mustard coloured blouse with navy blue collar which compliments her matching navy blue pleated skirt. Her look is a fusion of the roller skating waitress look you’d find in an old diner movie, and a saucy air hostess appearance.
As the name suggests, Miss Kandi Bordeaux revels in elegance with pearl earrings, and a chic and timeless black slip dress. Her white shrug offsets her elegant style, giving her a relaxed yet sophisticated look. You too can get her vintage hairstyle from the handy book Vintage Hairstyling which features retro styles with step-by-step techniques.
This look is a throw back to 1950s sitcoms, where Sailor Cherry is starring as Lucy Ricardo in I Love Lucy, and Miss Kandi Bordeaux is playing the lovely Alice Kramden from The Honeymooners.
