Just a typical Saturday!

Hi guys!

I have been naughty and not posted for a while! Just thought I'd gently get you back into the swing of things with a post on just a typical Saturday in my world.

When my boyfriend isn't around, the first thing I want to do is go vintage or charity shop shopping (mainly because he dislikes it!!!) The closest and funnest place to go at the moment is Hitchin, a small market town near where I live. My friend Grace lives there which makes it even more tempting! So me and Grace and my sister Aimee all met up and first off we visited a new vintage/antique store which has popped up recently. It is quite near to the market but I am not sure of the name.  It stocks tonnes of antique furniture (which I vow to have in my very own house one day!), some vintage clothing and antiquey nicknacks.

I didn't end up buying anything in the vintage shop this time (usually I do!) but Grace bought a cute heart necklace and a furry black stole! I'm wearing it in the next photo! We then had a short lunch break in Cafe Rouge, which was amazing. My favourite thing to order is a Croque Monsieur mmmmm! Now the first photo is actually me outside a sexy looking Bistro! But hey it looked good with this photo of me in Cafe Rouge...

Nearby to the previously mentioned Bistro, is a quaint little bookshop which Grace and Aimee absolutely love!! I like it cos I can get some cute vintage books on sewing or 1940's film stars or something. They literally have everything! I love the backdrop that the books create, so higgledy piggledy and colourful.

It was such a beautiful day that we all decided to have a walk in the woods near Grace's house. Now this is not always included in a typical day due to the weather, but on such a day as this it was necessary! Grace got some super cute photos of me looking rather happy in my outfit!

Chiffon Sleeveless Shirt - H&M
Lace Skirt - H&M
Leather Jacket - Borrowed from Aimee!
Robot Necklace - Matalan
Heart Print Tights - Missguided
Bowler Hat - Borrowed from Grace
White Handbag - Charity Shop

Hoping that you like my outfit from my day out! Tis a bit monochrome for the sunny weather but I really wanted to style up my new heart print tights from Missguided. I actually love them! And when I was wearing them out I heard a little girl say to her mum as I passed "mummy that girl has hearts on her legs" it was adorable! I hope you have enjoyed my typical day out in Hitchin and the buff pictures taken! They illustrate my day perfectly :)

Most Marvellous

 Hello everyone and welcome to the Most Marvellous Place To Shop!

So a couple of weekends ago now, me and Grace headed up to Northampton, where I used to go to uni. We went first off to see my old friends Jamie and Joey (Jamie’s the one in the photo below, Joey hates having his photo taken). The other thing we wanted to do was have fun in Most Marvellous! They stock items from different sellers, so from people who craft their own items, to vintage goods that are being sold on, such as furniture, clothing, kitchenware, old records… its amazing!

As you all know I am always found in the vintage clothing section!!

I honestly can never control myself when around cute things, especially adorable knitted ducks with hats!!

Crochet Top – Zara

Skater Skirt – River Island
Blazer – Zara
Necklace – New Look
Bag – Just found it in Most Marvellous!!
Shoes – Debanhams
Fur Stole – Amptill Antiques Emporium

Yeah can you tell I was taken with the little suede electric blue handbag? Yeah so I might have bought it... 

It was a wonderful day out with my friends, we went for a bit of charity shopping after too and I bought some more goodies! I will post them on here at some point! I hope you have enjoyed my photos as much as the time we had taking them. I highly recommend a good visit to Most Marvellous as it is different every time and you never know what you’re gonna find in that Aladdin’s cave of vintage and craft!

Houghton House

 Dress - Amptill Antiques Emporium

Necklace - Susan Chaplain for Asos

Shoes - River Island

Coat - Zara

Fur Stole - H&M

So where am I? I'm at Houghton House in Amptill, just down the road from the Antiques Emporium actually! It used to be a huge and beautiful hunting lodge back in the 17th Century, that was until the owner died and the building was bought and dismantled. Its such a shame because what remains is so beautiful, the original house would have been outstanding. I thought that I would wear my new white dress, as a simple outfit, hopefully allowing my surroundings to stand out. I do love the simplicity of this dress, with its clean pleats and neat collar embroidery. I hope you love it too!

Amptill Antiques Emporium

What a post I have in store for you today! Its a bit late, but the other weekend, me and my best buds drove up to Amptill to check out the Amptill Antiques Emporium! I know, the name gets me all crazy excited. I hadn't been there since I were young and was exactly how I had remembered it, maybe even better!

Dress - Thrift Shop

Shoes - River Island

Necklace - Susan Chaplain for Asos

Coat - Zara

Stole - H&M

I decided to dress for the occasion in an original vintage dress that I picked up in a thrift store in San Francisco! So its come quite a way! I love its pattern and its slightly dipped-at-the-sides hemline. Its made entirely of chiffon so I have to wear a slip underneath, but its worth it.

I kept the rest of my outfit pretty simple, with peach-coloured suede heels from River Island and a little turquoise charity shop purse. The only jewellery I wore is the below necklace, which everyone keeps asking is vintage, but its actually Susuan Chaplain for Asos!! £9 – I had to buy it!

Some of the goodies we found inside include a lamp held up by a harpoon man, some bookends of a ship cut in half, some weird but cute figurines, and an incredibly expensive burgundy bag (OMG if only it wasn’t £45!!)

Whats a trip to an antiques emporium without a little dress up? There was a whole section of party dresses, and a whole section of different hats, bags, gloves etc. Was amazing! All the hats were for different professions and occasions, from a sailors hat to a fireman helmet, it was crazy!

 Yes, I made some purchases, but you will have to wait to find out what they are!!! Ok so they are wearable.. that’s all you’re getting! I highly recommend a good long browse around this place, it has to be the best best best antique shop I’ve ever been too. Some things are pretty expensive but considering some of the quality, a lot of it is amazing value! I can’t wait to go again next time!
