A stylish nod to Hitchcock...

With Hitchcock hitting our screens again and the huge influence of 1960s fashions once again flooding Fashion Week, we look at some iconic looks from My Vintage...

These vintage pieces are guaranteed to keep you bang on trend whilst paying homage to some of Hitchcock's great women like Kim Novak, Janet Leigh and Tippi Hedren. We're talking car coats, super suits, striking shifts, perfect pencil skirts, gloves, stoles and a lot of eyebrow. Scary birds and serial killers with dead mothers are optional...

We love this 1960's vintage coat from Bickler in a rich beige and cream stripe.

A brilliant vintage shift dress in pistachio green. The delicate sequins give it a cute edge too.

A fabulous 60s shift dress and jacket in a regal shade of royal blue - fabulous!

Another great two-piece, this vintage dress and jacket is in an uber 60s psychedelic fabric that we love!

Another great vintage coat, this duffle style car coat is one of our favourites from the current stock...

As separates go, this 1960s vintage top in green lace is divine and very elegant...

Finally, this amazing late 1950s vintage dress looks like it's straight from a Hitchcock movie. It's truly stunning...

We hope you like our Hitchcockian round up.. whats you favourite piece?

Be my Vintage Valentine...

Love is always in the air at this time of year. But aren't you a bit fed up of the same boxes of chocolates and teddy bears? 

Whether you are buying for the lady in your life, or looking to drop very LARGE hints to your other half, My Vintage have found some fabulous Valentines Day gift ideas to suit any budget and style...

I know it's a bit of a splurge, but what better way to say I LOVE YOU than with a very special designer vintage scarf? It's one of those gifts that really has the WOW factor, and it's cheaper than going to Paris for the weekend, right?! What could be better than this vintage Moschino scarf that's covered in cute little hearts? 

Vintage 1980s Designer Moschino Heart Print Silk Scarf £125

If you don't want to splash the cash quite so much but want something just as romantic, quirky and special, why not go for one of these cute kitsch necklaces?

Retro Kitsch You Rock & Roll Necklace £9

Retro Kitsch Pink Diamanté Heart Necklace £6

Kitsch/Retro Gold 'Reserved For' Heart Pendant Necklace £8

There are also some super cute earrings that are perfect to show her you love her...

As for something to wear on the big night - where do we begin? We have so many beautiful vintage dresses that would be just perfect for that special date... And let's face it, if you can't wear a red dress on Valentines Day, when can you?!

This figure-hugging 1970's number is super sexy and guaranteed to make his heart race!

Designer Vintage 1980s Red Moschino Jacket/Blazer Size 8/10 £155

This gorgeous vintage blazer by Moschino is not only designer and not only in ravishing red, but it also has... wait for it... HEART buttons! Yes, really! It's divine...
