A leopard never changes it's spots

it's in / it's out / it's hot / it's not

The leopard print (faux obvs) fur coat - another coveted piece from our new autumn / winter collection. Frankly it's a sound investment, you  must have one in your wardrobe. Even if it doesn't see the light of day until December, it will always make a return with a bang when you least expect it.

If you don't believe me, just ask Alexa, Daisy & Kate.

The Vintage Fair Season Is HERE!

After mourning the loss of my favourite Sunday pastime,car booting, I am getting all geared up and ready for the vintage fair season! If you live in the Manchester area you’re in luck, I’ve compiled a list of all my favourite vintage fairs over the coming months. Get ready for some early mornings!

1.   The UK's Largest vintage fair, Judy’s Affordable Vintage, is back and its new Manchester venue, the The New Cavern Emporium, is one of my favourite hidden gems. Taking place on 31^st October, be prepared for some serious bargain hunting, this place really does live up to its title.

Featured in the likes of VOGUE, ELLE and STYLIST, Judy's is the go-to place for any vintage fan in the know. With the Uk's best vintage sellers all under one roof this is not one to be missed.

2. The Vintage Fair- In the heart of the Northern Quarter this great fair is always packed to the brim! With over 40 stalls, a beauty parlour and tea shop this is a great vintage day out.

Saturday 22^nd October 12-5 pm

3. The Vintage Village- With two fairs in Stockport & Salford, the Vintage Village specialise in unusual furnishings and accessories.

4. Vintage Fashion & Textiles Fair- Perfect for any lover of 1940s & 50s glam!

27^th November 10-5pm, Wilmslow Leisure Centre

5. Vintage Threads- Taking over the Triangle Shopping Centre on 3^rd November and 4^th December, this city centre fair has everything a vintage lover needs.

Cheap Chic

I was amazed to read this morning that Primark is to open concessions in Selfridges! The price friendly brand is starting with a menswear collection in Selfridge's Bull Ring and Trafford Centre stores. It's the ultimate collaboration between high and fast fashion.

 

70's Glam

There is nothing better than a good movie for great style inspiration, so this evening I watched The Runaways. Featuring IT girls of the moment Kirsten Stewart and Dakota Fanning, this great film doesn’t not fail to impress. Based on a 70s all- girl band, their cool 70s rock chick style is perfect for the new A/W 70s Glam trend.

This is the best time of year to make a statement with eye catching jewellery, footwear and trashy prints so think leather, sequins, leopard print, glitter and studs. All the items you see are from Topshop.

Perfect Peter

A little while back I came across the new Tocca Fall lookbook while browsing around on tumblr. As soon as i laid my eyes on the look above, complete with a perfect vintage-inspired coat, peter pan collar, and fuzzy little cap, i fell in love. It’s no coincidence, the new designer at tocca is none other than Emma Fletcher (the former designer of the now defunct label, lyell). This season has plenty of looks to love: from the thick wool coats to the pretty scalloped shorts, and delicate silk and lace details.

As my upcoming Ebay collections centre around Peter Pan collars, lace and thick wool coats this is perfect inspiration for any would be Vintagesayyeah customer.

Take a little peek!

     

     

     

Memo To Self

I have been thinking about the content of my blog and have decided that a weekly wish list would  be a good idea, mainly so I don't forget about the things I want (the list is ever growing). I thought what better 'memo to self' than in my blog. Here is what I'm wishing for this week.......

                                            

Pamela Love Talon Cuff available from www.pamelalovenyc.com/

                     

Jeffrey Campbell Lita's available at http://www.solestruck.com

American Apparel Blouse available at www.americanapparel.co.uk

Pamela Love jewellery is on the top of my stocking list. I love the gothic elements in something so pretty, come to think of it I love anything girly with a rock and roll edge.

Jeffrey Campbell's Lita shoes are something I intend to buy this week. These are perfect for jazzing up any old Christmas party dress and are definitely a must have for any wardrobe. They also have a leopard print peep toe wedge that are equally as fabulous!

The American Apparel blouses are gorgeous, I have the tan version but I would happily buy them in every colour. There so comfy and go with anything, I'm planning on wearing mine with a tie neck, bow tie or my ASOS sequinned collar.
