I had the pleasure of meeting fellow vintage fashionista Naomi Thompson in London last year. A charming proper english girl who served me tea and biscuits in her vintage salon style apartment and showed me some of the gorgeous vintage dresses that she sells on her site
www.vintagesecret.comShe has now taken her charm and love of vintage and blended it into TART one of London's best events for fashionistas.
Hosted at the decadent 40 Winks by the dandyesque David Carter, pin-up queen Fleur de Guerre and Naomi Thompson pictured above, Tart is the ultimate afternoon of naughty self indulgence, seductive style and decadent pampering. It has quickly established itself as one of London's must–do monthly events.
