If you have been following this blog for a while you will already know how proud I am of my Grandma Vera. So when Frankie asked if I had a fashion icon in the family I would be willing to talk about in their 50'th Issue, I knew my Grandma and her stunning photos would tell the perfect story! I hope you enjoy this sneak peek at the feature and a closer look at all the old photographs of Vera's style throughout the decades, she really is one inspiring lady.
Thank you Frankie for featuring my beautiful Grandma and putting a proud smile on her face. x
Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful pictures with us all. Vera was clearly an extremely stylish woman! Did she live in Ceylon at some point? My grandma also did but in the 30s to the 50s as she married a colonial teaplanter. You've inspired me to do my own post now! xxx
This is wonderful! I love nothing more than old family snapshots and sometimes seeing how fashion skips a generation! My Grandmother would never leave the house without a slcik of lipstick, pearls and a brooch, terribly wise! x
Thank you both so much, so pleased you enjoyed them :)
Yes, my Grandma lived in Ceylon for three years in the nineteen fifties, it's where she had my mother! I wonder if our Grannies ever crossed paths... x
She's so beautiful and stylish!
So much cutness, I think I'm tearing up!
love amira xx
Oh this is so so lovely x
this is so nice! I love the pictures, I love the text in the magazine and the cross stitch background, I love that her name is Vera (a favorite name of mine bcs of the Pink Floyd song) & it all makes me think of my grandma, who was a tailor & I wish she would've taught me how to sew :)
Those photos ..tell a wonderful story..about a girl that's soft and strong at the same time elegant and full of life!
Love the photo at the age of 17 sitting on a chair(this is like a whole movie on its own..),the one lying on a chair like dancer on holidays in Bournemouth,the three photos modeling for Grandad Ray(very good photographer..)
I can see her in you..
Thank you for sharing..
love,

Oh my goodness, she even left an actual comment!!! How awesome is she *_* Pretty much every picture made me sigh, she looks so effortlessly classy and all the garments she was wearing, the clever way she paired them together, the expression on her face... wow! Not to mention your granddad Ray, what a great photographer, the 2 pics with a shadow on her face are incredible. I can clearly see where all your talents come from, sweetheart! I'm sure she is very proud of what you do!
