Tea For Two


  
Oasis recently launched a series of mini films to showcase their New Vintage line of clothing & accessories. Designed to 'encapsulate the romance & nostalgia of eras gone by', the clips are a visual treat, styled with old school trinkets & trifles aplenty, while accompanying tutorials offer tips on how to best emulate retro hair & make up:
 



Admittedly I have my doubts around the increasing prevalence of 'new vintage' branding, which I suspect to be a makey-uppy-marketing means of selling us something we're supposed to want, something that's not quite what it claims to be.

That said, Oasis remains one of my favourite haunts for good quality, wearable clothing, & this range looks to be no exception, boasting some very pretty prints & quaint, twist clasp bags, as well as a chance to win a vintage tea party.
