I love a red lip, a fitted waist and a great pair of cat-eye sunglasses.

Sometimes I feel like unleashing my inner Bette Davis on unsuspecting non-effortless b's on the street, and I know some of my clients who love to dress in that flirty, pin up style by incorporating a little retro clothing into their wardrobes. So as I sit in one of my favourite retro inspired cafe's in Sydney, I find myself thinking of all the fantastic stores I like visiting when hunting for the perfect pencil skirt or retro swimsuit and because I'm crazy about lists, I've created a nice lengthy one on where to find vintage inspired and retro clothing in Sydney and online.

Your Vintage Inspired Clothing Hit-List:

Kitten D'Amour:This is a chain of boutiques that specialises in pin-up and rockabilly style clothing for women sized between 6 and 18. You can find anything in here from headwear and retro clothing to shoes and accessories.
