Pretty Pastels

Alfies is a vintage fashion destination for those in the know. Past trends that are currently enjoying a revival can usually be found in our vintage fashion dealers stands. Spring/Summer 2014 is all about icy pastels, muted blush and pretty pink. We spotted a few dresses in Alfies that wouldn't look out of place on the catwalk.
