Time for Twinwood

It's that time of year again! The Vivien of Holloway girls are packing up the vintage glamour for Twinwood Festival this weekend. We're especially excited to be hosting the Ms Twinwood competition where we'll be on the hunt for the most fabulous gals. If you're not in the running, don't despair! You can still be a star in your own right this weekend with a little help from Vivien of Holloway.

Last year's Ms Twinwood

So, the wellies are ready, the tent poles have been counted, the pin curls are set - but what to wear to Twinwood? We love spotting our fabulous garments at retro festivals and highly recommend looking to previous guests for inspiration.

As you can see, our 1940's Swing Trousers are perfect for a comfortable daytime look. The lighter fabrics are ideal for the weather and easy to dance in!

Charlotte White from Restoration Cake looks gorgeous in our 1940's Tea Dress. We love this authentic 40's look paired with low heels and a vintage hand bag.

What a great image of our Halterneck Circle Dresses at their 'swoosh'iest! These dresses are ideal for a dressed up evening look.

Or wear dressed down, without a petticoat, to stay cool and casual in the summer sun. We still have some Halterneck Circle Dresses in our sale. Order before 2pm today to have them in time for the event! Florals are a perfect choice for Twinwood - they're sweet, summery and just bold enough to stand out in a crowd. The Satin Dollz look great in our Victory Rose Halterneck Circle Dresses.
 

We look forward to seeing your vintage ensembles and hope you have a wonderful time.
If you can't make it to Twinwood, never fear. Remember there's still time to win tickets to the now sold out Goodwood Revival Festival. Find out how here.

Enjoy your Bank Holiday!

Competition Time!

Our fabulous friends at The Goodwood Revival have kindly given us two tickets to next year’s event, and as we’re such a lovely bunch here at Vivien of Holloway HQ, we thought it only appropriate to give them away to one lucky winner via a cheeky little competition! The festive season is well and truly here!





One lucky winner will receive two tickets to The Goodwood Revival 2013, as well as £50 of Vivien of Holloway gift vouchers - to be redeemed in store or via telephone purchase.

British Film Institute: Doris Day Competition

Vivien of Holloway have also teamed up with the fantastic British Film Institute (BFI) to offer a £50 voucher for vintage style clothing and accessories as part of a prize bundle worth over £300!

"44 years after she quit films, Doris Day is still one of the top box office draws of all time. BFI Southbank celebrates Hollywood’s golden girl this December with a selection of her finest films, and we’re offering one winner a fabulous bundle of prizes worth over £300!"

All the information you need for this fabulous competition (which we think you'll agree, is well worth entering) can be found on the BFI website.

All that remains to say is good luck and Enjoy Yourself!
