Recently I headed to Japan for a holiday with my love Benjamin.

So, naturally whilst in Tokyo I thought I’d see if  I could find some vintage. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything for the shop but plenty pour moi! Here are my tips for you if you’re heading that way…

Harajuku, Tokyo. Awesome place. Great for the shopper! I had heard of two main shops here. Finding them seemed to be determind by what tube stop you get off at but ask any of the locals. They’ll fall over trying to help you out! Spend the day at Harajuku. There really is that much to see and eat and do!

There are two massive ones right on top of each other. One called Kinji and the other called Hanjiro. Kinji is at basement level and Hanjiro on the first floor.

Kinji

Hanjiro

I also dragged my Ben out to a place called Shimo-kitazawa which is a University student area with vintage shops a plenty!

Starting from this weekend Friday 12th March Winifred and Bance will have a second shop at the Fremantle Markets!

Heaps of guys vintage tees and fabulous frocks for the ladies fresh off the boat from abroad!

Do pop down and peruse out wares. Luv Delilah @ Winifred and Bance xxx

What inspires you to get out of bed in the morning?

The prospect of being able to wear a new outifit. I think of outfits as temporary works of art and each day is an opportunity to create a new artwork.

What was the last photograph you took?

I took a photo of my boyfriend awkwardly holding one of my cats on my new fandangeled Polaroid camera.

What is your favourite vintage piece?

Ooooh…thats a hard one because my whole wardrobe is vintage! I think my favourite is probably a red, hand sewn 1950s dress that was my frist ever online vintage purchase. I feel like a character from Mad Men whenever I put it on.

Dropstitch. How/why did you start your Perth Street Chic blog?

I started Dropstitch because I was sick of hearing people constantly bagging out Perth. I wanted to show people that Perth is a fashionable city with a stylish population, and a street fashion site seemed the perfect way to do that.

Five words to describe yourself.

Tall, organised, homebody, vintage nut.

We love old movies…especially ones with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse with those legs!

We are back guys and gals! We have so much in store for you all this year and its beginning to look like our biggest year yet! We had a fabulous holiday at ma and pa’s on the farm and down south at Southbound. We noticed lots of fun summer fashions whilst out and about. Pantsuits, sailor anything, rock’n'roll, denim shorts, love heart sunnies, one piece bathers and bodysuits and yes, 80s glam is still in!
