It’s a wrap! That’s all folks. Officially closed. Thank you to everyone who sent messages and came and had hugs. It’s been an amazing 12 years. I’ve met some great people who will continue to be great friends. We will be at the shows enjoying them rather than working them. I’m not yet sure what to do regarding social media. I have lots of ideas but for now. We are just enjoying time for us.

Don’t worry if you have placed an order before I stopped the website. These will be done this week.

Thank you everyone.

Not long now till Retro Festival. This is likely to be the last time trading and we will be selling EVERYTHING! It will be clearance of everything even the hangers. Time to hang up the boots and close the doors on Isabel's Retro. So come along grab some bargains and have a great time at a brilliant event.

Running a small business is really tough but there are moments that are just amazing. Like this one. The dress that beverleyknight is wearing in Maria and Rosetta was from me! I’ve been a huge fan of Ms Knights for a very long time and to get the email was a huge moment. The dress is Miss Candyfloss and we still have a few sizes in stock. I haven’t managed to see the show which is still running through to July.

Who’s off to Vintage Nostalgia Festival this weekend? It’s been a while since we traded. This year we aren’t working and looking forward to enjoying the day from the other side. What’s everyone wearing? I’m thinking of matching our new car tomorrow if the sun is shining.

My beautiful bag from Si-Line Vintage with matching brooch. Which is custom made. Yellow dress. I will get a pic with all the accessories tomorrow.

Yes I’m still here! Getting my mojo back slowly. If ever there was a day to motivate me to get myself dressed up it’s VE Day.

One of the positives about not being in the shop (don’t worry I’m missing it like mad) is that I get to wear anything now, not stock items.

I have got to say the Darla wrap top from Rock n Romance Vintage is still one of my favourite staples. I have so many and they go with every look and pair with jeans or trousers. I’m working today so ky office look is my Darla with a bolero and an old faithful from Voodoo vixen check shirt. As always a matching pair of specs from Retropeepers; eyewear with vintage edge

Anyway. Share your VE Day outfits below. 💋 💋

A little late posting. It was a great day at wheels day 50. So lovely to see some of you lovely people. It was cold but such an amazing array of vehicles. One to put in the diary for next year.
