About “Take Me for a Spin”

November 12th, 2010

ONCE UPON a time, there was a bluish gray Nissan Sunny.

His name was Jimmy, and he was 19 going on 20. He wasn’t particularly handsome or fancy like other vintage cars that got shown off at car shows. In fact, he was pretty much battered and beaten up. He had what you would call – character – and was a machine that had seen better days and numerous adventures.

With an inevitable appointment with the scrapyard in 2011, we got a little sentimental, and decided to photograph Jimmy for posterity. We took Kyra Ching, an extremely cute and spunky girl with the most amazing short crop, out for a spin.

We put her in Jimmy’s front seat, we put her in Jimmy’s back seat. We plonked her on top of his boot, and balanced her precariously on his bonnet.

We put her in little vintage dresses, and paired them all with Feiyue sneakers. There were huge shoulder pads, small discreet prints, peplums to emphasise a small waist, and an unusual cross back.

All vintage clothing, jewelry and Feiyue sneakers available at Granny’s Day Out, as of now. Hurry down to the store and try them all, quickly, quickly, speedily, speedily.

NEW IN: Feiyue Sneakers @ Granny’s Day Out

November 4th, 2010
FEIYUE – The #1 iconic wushu shoes
worn by Shaolin monks!

Originating from Shanghai in the 1920s, these unisex vintage sneakers have been updated by the French, and are currently enjoying a new cult status.

The name Feiyue means Flying Forward in Mandarin. And they most certainly have moved forward! The new shoes boast improved soles and materials, and ever evolving new colours… yet retain a certain vintage charm.

We think these vintage-inspired sneakers add a unique and quirky touch when worn with vintage dresses, which is why we have brought them in!

We have picked some low cuts for the store. Try them – they are extremely versatile, and comfortable. Women’s sizes only, 35-40. While stocks last.
