Pouring...
Its pouring rain, and truly beautifully british downpours, and to be frank, I can't wait to get home bust out the teapot and get a nice Earl grey on the... On the subject of which, managed to find a fabulous teapot and salt and pepper shaker in a VINTAGE flea market... Not to mention some truly fabulous 1960's cocktail glasses, which are not only lovely jubely looking but also extremly practical. With a fantastic sill to collect any drips (not that I spill alcohol frequently) and enough space for a fantastic amount!
Pffftttt, anyway I feel pictures will defiantly be following, so eyes peeled!

Why Vintage?
With vintage clothing becoming, more and more popular, and being fronted by some of the worlds most inspirational stars
Such as Lily Allen, Dita von Teese, Daisy Lowe and many more, her are a view reasons we love to buy vintage, and why we believe its the way forward;
Price- vintage pieces on average work out far cheaper than buying from the high street, and yet ironically, I spend a good amount of time gauping and the fabulously merchandised pieces in stores such as Topshop and wondering which Northern quarter Thrift store I'd spotted something similar in, for a fraction of the cost. So a key reason to buy vintage! Wear vintage and live vintage.
Make a statement- The other reason vintage is now the way forward... Attended that party and found that the girl next to you is shockingly wearing exactly the same new season dress as you, but with horrific shoes. (Yes we know its a disaster) sat on the beech whilst everybody parades around in the same primark two piece?? Yes we feel your pain. With vintage pieces, your getting a one of vintage piece, a piece with a story, something exquisite and unique. Your statements far better made with vintage!
Creativeness- vintage clothes all have a story; its fantastic to imagine whom may have been wearing that 1960's dress? A political rights activist? The cereal packet family mom? You decide, and create your own stories!
So if your going to do anything... Do Vintage!

HOT WATER BOTTLE... and some retro inspiration please
Defiantly getting to that time of the year where our Bridget jones inspired reindeer Jumpers are creeping out of the wardrobe, and to be frank I can't wait. But tonight in thought I decided that reflection was needed. The year 2011 brought us to the end of two retro inspired muses. Losing both winehouse and Elizabeth Taylor this year, has highlighted not only the true and un-aging beauty of retro and effortless glamour. But how the inspiration of vintage in all degrees when paired with Genius, can create wonders, and to celebrate Amy's record company have released Lioness in a tribute not only to Winehouse but to her fans. In the spirit of all things vintage collections of Elizabeths best covers have been compiled. Some of which I particularly felt inspired and defiantly deserved a little place on this particular blog.
SO PLEASE SEE ABOVE, for a mere sample of some of Elizabeths best.
