PVB, and Schwimmers.

Afternoon, chaps. Shame about the weather, but as Vera Lynn says 'tomorrow is a lovely day'. I think she tactfully misses out the suffix '-aslongasitdoesn'tpissitdownagain'.
Anyway, I just wrote myself a CV! I need YOUR summer jobs!
Now for something a bit dandy. There's a loverly magazine compiled by a fabulous vintage lovely called PVB magazine. I'll link you at the bottom in a mo, so promise me you'll go check it out. Stop reading Oscar Wilde, put down your Keats, Madam! And get a look at this magazine. I think it's exactly what all vintage lovelies need. Full of promoted small businesses. It's fab because it gives press to small businesses that might otherwise miss out. It's fab because it's full of little bits that will help you look even more glam, kittens. It's fab because it somehow pulls things from the mysterious and sometimes muddled up world of vintage together to make it do-able by a modern woman on a budget! (Let's be honest, we'd like to spend two hundred quid on a 1940s swing dress, but unless there's a wedding or some veeeery nice looking re-enactors, it's not bloody likely... and as far as re-enactors go, the young ones are few and far between. I'm sorry. You were all thinking it.) But it's also fab because it's not just for an experienced vintage lovely, it's for newly found vintage lovelies, alternative vintage lovelies, retro lovelies, AND experienced vintage lovelies. All the lovelies united under the wisdom of each other's submissions to the mag. If you have a small business then you're doing yourself a disservice by not reading this. PVB Magazine is the way forward.
Here is the latest issue! http://www.petasvintageboutique.com/issue-2.html

In other news, my exams are over. Made friends with a sour-faced invigilator that I told you about last year. Her grandchildren go to a school in Truro with my cousin- small world, eh? Speaking of Cornwall, I'm going down to stay with my cousins there next month with a friend of mine. I need some cheap-ish swimmers, everyone. 1940s or 1950s, I'm thinking... tweet me @LieutntGeorge with any suggestions, because I had a quick look through Etsy and eBay but I can't really find anything particularly heart-breakingly gorgeous (this is a requirement since the photos will undoubtedly end up on Facebook for my ex-boyfriend to stumble upon, mahah).
TTFN, darlings.
