Purchases!

Soooo, what did I buy from Amptill Antiques Emporium?

Well first of all, while hunting amongst the rails of clothes Grace came across this little number:

A beautiful chiffon shift dress with an embroidered neckline, button hole fastening to the back and flute sleeves. I bought it without trying it on and yet it fits amazingly!! I have to wear a slip underneath it as its a liiiiittle see-through… but hey its worth it! I took it out for a mini shoot recently so I will post that as soon as I can! I bought it for £18, which I think it pretty good considering the amazing condition we found it in!

The next purchase was a deep purpley black faux fur stole, it is suede lined and sooooo soft.

I’m no good with labels so have no idea how old this is!…All I know is its sooo pretty! It is almost black when wearing it indoors, but when you go outside and the sun shines on it, you can see all the purpley tones!

I also got this beautiful little white handbag from my last outing, remember when I went to Harpenden? Bought this little beaut in a charity shop for £4.99 and couldn't resist a few little pics of it for you ;) It was in such great condition for a white bag! It hardly needed any cleaning at all, I LOVE IT.

Let me know what you think of my purchases! Do you like thrift shopping?

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!
