Leafing through my collection of vintage magazine

Leafing through my collection of vintage magazine and fashion books this morning looking for some Spring inspiration. Now I want a time machine so I can bring back all the gorgeous dresses!

One from a couple of weeks ago, during my short lived phase of making an effort during lockdown. Now the snows hit and home schooling continues, I'm back to comfy leggings every day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is one of my favourite vintage dresses, gorgeous print, autumnal colours and biggest besets sleeves ever. Hoping to be able to wear it out somewhere special later in the year, when hopefully a little normality returns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beppe the cat always shows an interest when I'm taking pics and loves to get in on the action. Such a cutie!

Ad my shop Celebrating hitting 700 hundred sales

Ad my shop Celebrating hitting 700 hundred sales on the shop this weekend! 2020 was a long hard year in which everything went wrong for our family. It really was awful! But working on the shop really kept me going. Your orders mean more to us than you’ll ever know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a couple of my hand made bows. The shop is also full of gorgeous vintage dresses, pretty accessories and lots of lovely vintage jewellery.

I love layering up my favourite summer dresses so

I love layering up my favourite summer dresses so I can wear them all year. This @hm William Morris dress has been one of my faves since I got it a few years ago. It’s super warm worn with a jumper underneath, some tights and my boots from @willsveganstore ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you make use of your wardrobe year round? I’d love to hear your tips.

When I was little my grandparents had a little boo

When I was little my grandparents had a little bookshelf in their spare room, full of lovely old children’s books from when their children were small. I inherited them all and they're such a treasure to me. I've been enjoying looking through some of them this week, this is my favourite because all the pictures are so pretty!

I've hardly bought any new clothes for myself over

I've hardly bought any new clothes for myself over the last year, with both kids needing new things and my budget being wiped out by Covid, I've not really been able to treat myself to anything. I did however spot this retro maxi dress for a steal on @depop and just had to have it. Impossible not to feel cheerful in such a bright colourful dress!

More lovely vintage bits that will be going onto the shop some time in early Spring. Dependant on whether I ever get a moment of natural light to take pics and 5 mins away from the kids! 😅

Pairing up some vintage charity shop finds with old high street pieces from my wardrobe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The skirt and belt were both charity shop bargains, my sweater, tights and necklace are very old Primark, which I've had for years and my boots are vegan leather, sustainably made from @willsveganstore

More beautiful Laura Ashley, because I’m on a roll here! This morning I’m starting photographing my next vintage collection for @vintagefrillsshop and there is a lot to get through! I think about 50 items at the moment including lots of floral dresses, pretty jewellery and accessories.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also have a new blog post on Vintage Frills all about running a vintage business. Find all my links in my bio.

Wearing future stock from the shop, before I have

Wearing future stock from the shop, before I have to let it go! Here I'm wearing a gorgeous cotton Laura Ashley dress with a 50s beaded cardigan. I'll be announcing date for the next collection very soon and I am SO excited for this one!

This Laura Ashley dress is just toooo gorgeous! I am planning on including it in my Spring collection on Etsy even though it fits me, but so will be very sad to say goodbye to it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who else LOVES vintage Laura Ashley?
