Faversham car show

I absolutely adore my town, I was working today and could see all the fun going on in marketplace!

My beaut of a boss came in and said we could be naughty and go for a walk. So I finished my tea 

 Straightened my dress 

 And took a stroll...

 I wasn't allowed to buy cider as I had a bride :( 

So back to work I went! Until quitting time when my family came to fetch me! 

Ahhhhhh then there was cider.

And busses

And the rest

Me and pops

All in all a grand day out! I hope you all had a good Sunday xx

Weird jewellery and why I love it

So we all have our little quirks don't we? Mine has to be my soft spot for ridiculous vintage and rockabilly jewellery! 

What is it that makes me squeeee? Well below I have in all their pictorial gloriousnes a bit of my ever expanding collection :) 

This fab custom necklace (with my babies names ) is from bête Noir. The birdie is wooden, I'm not sure on the make.

So this one is glass oranges, she's 1940s and came by way of the USA 

This necklace is from a Spanish shop called Annie's Fingers. I have lots of her bits! 

Ahhhh my bee and anchor necklace, a birthday present from my pops. She's a one off piece from an art gallery

Stupidly oversized anchor from tatty Devine, also a Bakelite bird necklace from the 50s!

This pineapple necklace was brought with the sole purpose of going with this dress, outfit made! eBay purchase

And that's what your clothes and accessories should do. If that's what you're into then buy what you love x

Supermarket dresses and how to wear them old school

I love real vintage it makes me happy, but I find for everyday wear I'm worried I'll wreck it. So they real dealeo stuff comes out if I'm at a vintage fair or event. Let's have a chat about supermarkets, now they've cottoned on to the ever growing trend of vintage cuts, some go as far as to Use vintage patterns too! Here's my fave flavour take a look...

This is a sainsbury dress! It screams 1940 so I teamed her with the proper era hair and make up. I also added saltwater saddles in tan, and Bakelite bracelets.

Doing this stuff to my sainsbo dress made all the difference in the world. I can wear this out and happily feel I'm doing the era proud. 

This takes me onto dress Two.

Just look at her in all her gingham loveliness. This one was shouting at me to be teamed up 50s western style and why not! Cowgal boots, wide plated belt and a western erstwilder brooch. jobs a good un! 

My last and most favourite dress is a beautiful high neck Japanese style one.

I loved it as soon as I saw it and when I tried it on I knew I had to buy it. It's got a real 40s feel so I gave her the right era accessories. Wicker bag, cats eye sunnies, nude shoes and lacy gloves. I'm waiting on some cherry blossom hair clips! And it will be complete. If wear this with victory rolls for a more authentic look.

I like a supermarket, it's worth havin a rummage see what's about. You may find the perfect dress ;)
