Vintage Fair

Today there was a vintage fair in Derby, which me and a couple of friends attended. We had no idea what it would be like, and I have to say we were surprised how much stuff there was there! Obviously there was loads of clothes, but it didn't stop there. They had anything from Lego rings to French fashion magazines from the 1950s. Unluckily, I only found out about this a few days ago, and had no time to save up, so I had no money. But I did manage to scrape together enough to buy a Lego ring, which is one of the cutest things I've ever bought!

Mine and my friend's rings, mine is the blue one.

Lego jewellery!

They also had Scrabble jewellery. I love. But they didn't have any 'J' ones. *crys*

 One stall had some miniature perfume bottles, and I adored them! I really wanted this, but I didn't have enough money!

So, go vintage, why not?

Funky Jewellery

Haven't posted in ages, and I'm so sorry! Life's been a bit mental lately, too busy playing internet games (oops!) and doing homework. But I'm back, and better than ever.

Statement jewellery is all the rage. If your style is minimalist, then opt for a big plate metal necklace, if there is usually a bit more happening in your outfits, then leave the necklaces alone, and get yourself a bit of ear and bracelet candy. Don't worry about wearing too many bracelets. You can never wear too many bracelets. Here are just a couple or inspirations for your outfits:

 Cuffs are the new bracelets, and I think they can make quite a casual outfit look fairly classy. Not too fussy, so they can match with outfits that are simple, and keep them that way. This beaded beauty is £20.00 from Phase Eight, and will liven up your LBD.




 I love the idea behind this. Well, this could just be sewn on beads, but I like to think that it's stud earrings pinned on the collar. I don't have my ears pierced, but if you do have spare studs that have just accumulated in your jewellery box, then use them to spice up collars, pockets and bags. Just use your imagination in your clothes. These studs (right) are from Dorothy Perkins, ranging from £4.00-£.6.50. My favourites are the gold coloured leaf ones (above) because they are just so pretty!
I will update sooner this time, I promise!

Winter Warmers!

Well there's a chill in the air in England today, and winter accessories are vital for your survival! Here is just my pick of the best...

Topshop Beanie, available in other colours. Great for a walk out with your friends in the snow. 
H! by Henry Holland. £15.00. Add a bit of spice to your winter coat, with this Aztec inspired scarf.
Debenhams. £5.00. At this discount price, these are a steal! Be picture perfect in the pure white snow with a dark contrasting colour. You won't get lost!

Topshop. £32.00. Carry all your supplies in here, just in case you get stranded out there!
 So, a hat, scarf and gloves, and even a bag to take it all around with you!
