A vintage Update
It seems like an age since I last wrote about my vintage and charity shops finds. A glimpse at one of my favourite vintage blogs – Porcelina’s World – this morning inspired me to share a few of my recent vintage and charity shop finds. Summer is a great time to find a vintage bargain. There are great car boot sales which are a good hunting ground. I found a great blue crimplene skirt for 50p, and a gothic black dress (pictured below) for just £2. Car boot sales allow you to barter and you can often make an offer if you find a few good items. We visit Wales…

Enjoy a sun drenched fashion summer
My sister once had a theory that your favourite time of year related to the season you were born in. She has always loved Winter, despite the cold weather and short days, and was born on a very cold January day. I, on the other hand, just love a sun drenched summer, full of long hot days. Summer barbecues, days at the beach, lots of time in the garden, all of these are amongst my favourite things. It just so happens that I am a June baby, so maybe her theory carries some weight after all? I think part of my love for Summer comes from loving the summer wardrobe.…
