Copper hair and Vietnam...

2012-03-02T02:55:00.000-08:00

The new me! I finally took the plunge and changed my hair to copper. I love having white hair but it's impossible to grow long without snapping. My hair needed some breathing space without the bleach for a while so let's see how long I can go without it.

Very excited as I am off on my travels to Vietnam tomorrow with my dear friend Neil. We will be traveling around the country with our back backs and guide books! Im in much need of some inspiration right now so this should do the job. Its gonna be hard leaving Ross for two weeks as we have never been this long but I'm sure it will be good for both of us.

Will be back in two weeks with lots of colourful photos :)

Hope your all having a fabulous weekend? We have spent the weekend visiting family in Essex and enjoying the much needed sunshine. These photos were taken last weekend around the back of Borough Market, you can see more photos of the actual market here from a previous post.

Since these photos I have changed my hair colour... I will share this with you soon! We also have lots of Vintage clothes ending auctions on Ebay tonight so be sure to check our site to join in the bidding fun!

Hidden pictures of Marilyn Monroe...

2012-02-21T02:04:00.000-08:00

Love these pictures from an article I came across of Marilyn Monroe. These photos of Marilyn at the age of 24 have just been released, such beautiful photos right? Seeing these photos along with some sunny weather in London this morning is making feel really excited for spring and also an exciting trip to Vietnam in March! I have already brought my 50s inspired swimwear for the beach :)

Vintage outfit post: Dressed in velvet

2012-02-14T06:35:00.000-08:00

One of my favourite new vintage dresses I kept back for myself from our recent buying trip. Love the shape, the colour, the fabric, the swing in the skirt and the ruched sleeves...this dress makes me feel good:) What dresses in your wardrobe appeal to you the most at the moment?

Happy valentines! Ross made me a delicious breakfast this morning and now were off out for some more fun. Enjoy today what ever your plans may be x

Ps: We have over 60 auctions up form £4.95 on The Attic People ebay ending this sunday and more new stock added to The Attic People Vintage plus 25% off everything!!

Vintage sent across the globe...

2012-02-10T08:06:00.000-08:00

Selling vintage clothes can be hard at times right? Having to decide what to sell and what not to sell can be difficult sometimes. When sifting through new stock I tend to make a "keep myself" pile which gradually gets way too high so I will usually have to whittle it down!

This lovely dress above was sold along with another to the lovely Marisa of Shades of Monet. Im so glad this vintage dress ended up across the globe into such a stylish wardrobe. I love the way Marisa has styled this dress with daring pops of red and that sweet daisy broach. It's very rewarding being able to see how our customers choose to style and wear our vintage :) Be sure to check out Marisa's blog for lots more amazing outfit posts!

The Wizard of Oz

2012-02-08T02:34:00.000-08:00

These photos are a little delayed but too good not to post! Over the Christmas period Ross booked us tickets to see The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium. I am a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz, I couldn't count the amount of times I have seen this film if I tried my hardest. Our seats were almost front row (thanks Ross) and the London Palladium was just beautiful. I was a little apprehensive before watching the show as I didn't want to be disappointed but there was no need for that as it was everything I expected it to be :)

We have been super busy here, both freelancing for most of January. I really admire those of you who work full-time away from home and still manage to create beautiful and frequent posts! Hopefully I can keep this blog more up to date again now! We went on a buying trip last week and sourced lots of stunning pieces for The Attic People vintage ... just need to photograph and list them now. I will look forward to catching up on your blogs and hearing from you's over the next few days :)

What I wore: Vintage outfit post

2012-01-18T04:17:00.000-08:00

Since finishing freelancing for Coast last week I have been catching up with many things such as ... post runs, sorting bookkeeping, tidying... pretty boring stuff really! I wore this simple outfit for the majority of these tasks. My fitted vintage wool coat in black (I love the peter pan collar), a loose fitting vintage dress, a warm vintage fur hat (much needed in this cold weather!) and comfy suede wedges. It done the job nicely :) I am currently listing new vintage clothes for The Attic People Vintage and preparing for a January sale so be sure to check back soon!

Topshop Spring 2012

2012-01-13T17:44:00.000-08:00

Don't get me wrong Im still very into winter dressing and layering but the colours in the new Topshop Spring Equinox collection are making me feel very optimistic about spring/summer dressing already!

Finished freelancing at Coast for now so posting should be back to normal next week. Have yourself a good weekend :)

Over Christmas: Part 2

2012-01-02T13:51:00.000-08:00

Happy New year 2012!! Here are more photos of our christmas here in London. It was very peaceful and cosy. We ate so much nice food, drank many white Russians, watched countless movies and got hooked on Monopoly. I loved every minute of relaxing but I'm really looking forward to the start of 2012 and getting back into the swing of things. The blog may be a little quiet this week as I'm working freelance for Coast again in their Old Street head office but I will try and say hello :)

Well heres to 2012.. I wish you all a healthy and happy year!

Happy new years eve!

2011-12-31T05:47:00.000-08:00

Christmas time is our favourite time of year... me and Ross both love to relish in the magical christmas spirit in as many ways possible! This year we decided to spend the christmas period together... just me and Ross for our first year here in London. We had a crazy few weeks building up to christmas with lots of mini christmas celebrations packed with visits and nights out with friends and family ( I will share this with you soon).

Train journeys

2011-12-06T03:31:00.000-08:00

Train journeys filled with views of beautiful English countryside inspire me greatly. Living in London over the last six months makes me appreciate these sights even more! These photos were captured on my iphone from some recent trips up north. I feel very peaceful looking at these photos :)

2011-11-30T01:10:00.000-08:00

Vintage outfit post: In our pad

2011-11-25T02:23:00.000-08:00

A small introduction to our London pad! We usually take outfit photos outside but what a pain when it's raining/windy right? Whilst waiting for the rain to subside Ross snapped a few photosof me inside wearing my new vintage dress and winter coat from The Attic People Vintage! This vintage tapestry bag was a lucky charity shop find last year in Liverpool... Its a perfect size for shopping.

Speaking of shopping I have been busy buying and sourcing many new fabrics for a new project I am working on which will be show cased in December on The Attic People Vintage online! I will keep you updated with my progress here.

We are also currently shooting and lots of new vintage dresses, vintage winter coats, vintage accessories, vintage winter boots and vintage menswear which should be in the shop over the next week. Have a happy weekend all!

This would be nice...

2011-11-21T04:37:00.000-08:00

How cool would it be to own a bike made from your own name? I'm really liking this concept by graphic designer Juri Zaech :)

Vintage outfit post: Borough Market

2011-11-13T15:38:00.000-08:00

London has so many wonderful places and things to explore. Since we settled here in May me and Ross made a pact between us to try something new each weekend. So far we have pretty much achieved this, even if it is a small thing like trying a new restaurant, or walking through a different park or market. Last Saturday afternoon was spent browsing around bustling Borough market, we drank warm spiced cider and filled our bellies with yummy pulled pork baguettes. I can imagine this place will be very magical nearer to christmas!

Last week was pretty quiet here as I was freelancing for Coast in their head office off of Old Street. I was working on artworks for their S/S 2012 Collection which looks like it's going to be very beautiful. This week should be back to normal with more frequent posts. Hope you enjoy the pictures... I am also looking forward to catching up on your posts too :)
