I hope you’re all having a wonderful April so far! Its such a lovely time of year and I’ve enjoyed spending a bit of time outdoors this week and appreciating the season. I’ve also released another lovely vintage mini collection on the shop. This time it’s a gorgeous colourful one, based around some lovely Laura Ashley pieces which I’ve been saving for the perfect time of year.
This collection features lovely shades of blue, pink and green with lots of gorgeous floral prints and beautiful romantic shapes.
I was inspired by this beautiful vintage Laura Ashley skirt, which includes all my favourite colours. I had a few dresses in similar shades so I built this collection up around them and then added a few other pieces from different brands and eras.
Some of the beautiful prints!
Here are a few of my favourite pieces that are currently available on my Etsy –
Dresses
If you’re a long term follower, you’ll know that vintage dresses are my biggest love. I’m always drawn to classic romantic pieces in beautiful floral prints. Probably one of the reasons I love Laura Ashley so much!
This beautiful pink floral Laura Ashley dress is one of my favourite shapes. I’ve had this one in a few different colours in the past. I love the pointed waistline, piped edging and matching covered buttons that makes these dresses so special. (8-10)
This beautiful aqua green floral Laura Ashley dress is another classic shape which is always timelessly elegant. I love the contrast between the green and the pink rose print. (10)
This late 50s / early 60s floral shirtwaist dress, has the most beautiful painterly print in lovely shades of blue. The dress has a gorgeous full pleated skirt and a very pretty collar. (6-8)
This wonderful fuchsia pink romantic Laura Ashley dress has a lovely rose bud print. Some of the stunning details on this dress, include a pointed waist, sweetheart neckline and gathered details on the neckline and arms. So perfect! (10)
This beautiful handmade blue and lilac floral vintage dress, has absolutely gorgeous purple and gold plastic buttons down the front and on the arms. It also comes with a matching belt with a stunning purple lucite belt buckle. (18)

The Tops and Blouses
I absolutely believe that we can build fun and sustainable capsule wardrobes with vintage and second hand clothes. Capsule wardrobes don’t have to be about wearing simply neutral colours, but more about owning versatile pieces that are great to mix and match. Vintage blouses are such a great addition to any collection, they can be worn with skirt, under pinafores or just thrown on with a pair of jeans, shorts or trousers. I have a few great pieces in the shop at the moment.
This 1960s White High Neck Prairie Style Blouse by Janet Colton is absolutely adorable with its pretty pink floral trim. (12)
This classic vintage St Michael White Cotton Prairie Style Blouse, has lovely pleats and lace trim as well as gorgeous full sleeves and lace trim cuffs. It’s very similar to Laura Ashley blouses of the same era. (10-12)
This gorgeous 80s White Blouse with Lace Chest and High Neck by Jump would be fabulous with so many vintage outfits. (10-12)
For a cute cottagecore look this Richard Shops White Cotton Blend Ruffle Blouse with Brodie Anglaise Trim, is just lovely! (10-12)
For a little colour this lovely pink polka dot cotton cami top is such a fun versatile piece. (8-10)
