Welcoming all Retro Queens!

We were formly known as Heart - A Unique Boutique and have taken on a retro transformation over the past few months into Retro Queen! Have a mooch around the new site and explore the new and improved shop! Feel free to leave a post in our guest book and let us know what you think of the new look!

All things vintage and retro make us happy and we want to share that with you! To keep you topped up, our blog will be weekly and have new featured products, 'how to wear' features and just generally containing all things retro bliss!  Check out our Gallery page too to see RQ at vintage fairs and previous fabulous items that just have to be seen!

Our featured product this week is the funky 'Carnegie of London' 60's/70's dress (below)! This is one of our favourite items on the site at the moment. It's such an interchangeable item, easy to dress up or down for a über retro look. In the photo we are wearing the dress with a petticoat underneath to add a cheeky 50's feel to the dress, add killer heels and a matching waist belt and you'll be a knock out! It's such a flattering shape and surprisingly comfy! Equally it would look fab with a thin brown or cream belt, chunky knee highs and a cardigan for a cool retro day look! Once you've got a timeless piece like this dress in your wardrobe it's just about having fun with accessorising and letting your creative side flow to create your own unique look! That's one reason why vintage/retro is so much fun! There's so many eras to pick from and as I often say 'It just totally depends what mood I'm in that day!' heh heh



 Our song of the week and one that we are totally loving at the moment is 'Slip' by Stooshe. Click on the link below, have a listen, a dance and get in to that retro mood!
