IT'S VINTAGE, DARLING...
May 18, 2010
Take one huge room, pair it with a selection of gorgeous vintage wares and you’ll have a whole load of very excited Topshop girls! We took a trip to Earl’s Court on Sunday for the Vintage Fashion Fair and unearthed lots of treasures! First off, we hit the stand carrying Chanel boutique and classic Valentino, instantly falling in love with everything in sight. Next it was onto a glittering array of jewellery and accessories and a host of gorgeous scarves to dress up any outfit. There were shoes and bags and hats galore and delicate lace from way back in 1910. We gathered for quite a while around the stand marked ‘£10 or Less’, got into a bit of a frenzy over a men’s YSL mack and even discovered some old Topshop Unique!
Their next event is in Primrose Hill on June 13th, and it’s a must for all you vintage lovers. So pop on a slick of lipstick, a chic hat and your best rummaging head and get down to have a look. We’ll be the ones with armfuls of clothes, hanging out by the cute cupcakes!
I love everything vintage and just seeing these photos make me want to shop for vintage right now!!!

Oh, but the best place to go to find vintage and vintage inspired clothing, accessories, Jewellery, lingerie and haberdashery etc is Vintage Vogue -The Essex Vintage Fashion Fair. A large quarterly event with over 70 traders from the UK and overseas, you can get a vintage make-over from the girls at 'Hair Raid Shelter' and they even have a unique Vintage Tea Room where all the waitresses are dressed like Lyon's corner house 'Nippy's'. But don't just take my word for it, go and see for yourself. The next date I believe is Sunday 5th September, it's on in Brentwood. There website is www.essexvintagefashionfair.com
