A delightful time in Landan Town!

Well what a fabulous 'age turning occasion. This birthday I've been lucky enough to explore some urban haunts and vintage wonders London town has to offer...

An Aladdins cave of wonders, I can honestly say my favourite place was, Brick lane. Sticking to the urban feel, that places such as Manchester's Northern Quarter have. The vintage here took on a cheeky twist. With bowler and top hats put a theatrical and Chaplin feel. Whilst some of the store's tilted their hats to Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, with a grunge and 80's ambience; With faded denims, sequins, elaborate shoulder details an rainbow colours! This varied to Manchester's Northern neutral pallets which must be vastly adopted from the Pennine inspired rustic pieces!

So my verdict is a must visit! And I'd say throw yourself into the vintage high street.

Ciao for now lovelies!

Of an age... (almost)

Soooooooo 25 tomorrow... And got to say it totally sucks. Been doing Bikram yoga, aka yoga in a steam room. For the run up to the Un-golden age. In hope I won't awake and feel old! Ha ha anyhu, should see more from me and the webpage after a jam packed weekend. Popping over to East London too on Sat, to see one of the beauties. I'm told that I'll be blown away by some of the vintage hubs there! Which excites me! So expect a full trend report after!

Yayyyyy! Canny wait! Loves Rae xo

Valentines Day...

Is it really about the roses, the chocolate and the new and hilarious Asda smart price cards... hmmm...

"You will only expect a few words, what will those be?

When the heart is full it may run over, but the real fullness stays within.

You asked me yesterday "if I should repent?" 

Yes, my own Ba, I could with all the past were to do over again, that in it I might somewhat more, never so little more, conform in the outward homage, to the inward feeling, What I have professed, (for I have performed nothing) seems to fall short of what my first love required even, and when I think of this moment's love...I could repent, as I say.Words can never tell you, however, form them, transform them anyway, how perfectly dear you are to me, perfectly dear to my heart and soul. I look back, and in every one point, every word and gesture, every letter, every silence, you have been entirely perfect to me, I would not change one word, one look. My hope and aim are to preserve this love, not to fall from it, for which I trust to God who procured it for me, and doubtless can preserve it. Enough now, my dearest, dearest, own Ba! You have given me the highest, completest proof of love that ever one human being gave another. I am all gratitude, and all pride (under the proper feeling which ascribes pride to the right source) all pride that my life has been so crowned by you. God bless you prays your very own R."

Now thats Vintage... yup as it turns out NONE of the 'boys' (posing as men.) I've met would be capable of any of those fantastic collections in the ever so popular book- Love Letters of Great men. I guess thats why its titled 'Love letters of great men'...

Right!?!?
