Ahh Britney you inspire me in every way, even polyvore ways. I had a polyvore account, i forgot i had a polyvore account. One year later i remembered, may the obsessive outfit building begin!

EUROVISION VINTAGE STYLE

I bloody love Eurovision! It's on tonight and i'm really hoping we win this time, i've been wanting this to happen for years but i'm always bitterly disappointed, however Blue are representing us and i feel like it could really happen. On the other hand everyone hates us so maybe not. Anyway here is my Eurovision inspired vintage ideas. Perfect for next year Eurovision party?!

RED RIDING HOOD

I gave up my cineworld card, and now i want to see sooo many films. Bad for my bank balance, but good for inspiration. Went to see Red Riding Hood yesterday and loved it. The imagery is brilliant, another masterpiece from Catherine Hardwick. So in a bit of randomness i thought i'd combine my film viewing with my etsy browsing. Here are some of the nicest 'riding hood' related items i found. Who doesn't need a red cape??

Alice who?!

PUSH IT TO THE MAXI DRESS

I know i speak for half of the female population when i say this but i am really really really obsessed with maxi dresses this summer. I always dismissed them as a 'tall person' thing but i've noticed this summer the high street has taken note and realised us less height advantaged individuals need a maxi too. So i was naughty yesterday and went against my vintage dedication and bought a River Island one. I work in retail what do you expect? I can't show it you as it's not on their website but trust me its lush. However if you prefer to stay vintage there are hundred of great maxi's on Etsy. I know a lot of people are unsure about maxi's but seriously give them a try you could be pleasantly suprised. Even LLYMLRS is wearing one in her latest blog post.

KATE MIDDLETON FEVER

OK it's official i am completley obsessed with Kate Middleton. The world watched as she tied the knot yesterday with Prince William. The focus being THAT dress. It was perfection, designed by the now legendry Sarah Burton. She followed that by another stuning fairytale dress for the evening reception, also designed by Burton. To my amazment we've just got pictures of the Duchess leaving for her honeymoon looking flawless, despite partying till the early hours in a stunning royal blue pleated summer dress. Her style really is feminine and classic. Get a kate-a-like vintage items as there are some amazing pieces floating around on Etsy. Move fast though i suspect they won't be around for long.

x CONGRATULATIONS CATHERINE AND WILLIAM x

RED HEAD

I'm sat here with a head full of blood red hair dye, praying it'll come out RED RED. But i know deep down it'll just be red-ish. I refuse to bleach my hair because im scared therefore i'll never look like this ...

DON'T KEEP ME HANGIN' ON THE TELEPHONE

I love it when the postman comes and brings me a parcel because nine times out of ten i've forgotten what it is i've bought and it's always a suprise. I had wiped my memory of buying a lip shaped telephone! It arrived this morning and i've stuck it straight on Etsy, otherwise i'll keep it! Vintage phones are so much cuter than regular modern ones. Check out my cute lip shaped one and these other funky retro phones.

EASTER BUNNIES AND CHOCOLATE EGGS

YAY it's almost easter! One of my favourite holidays, given the vast amount of chocolate that is involved. What i've noticed over the past few days is the amazing vintage, easter related items that keep popping up on Etsy. What strikes me the most is how much a bigger, family orientated thing Easter was. It's changed even since i was little. I remember going out to show off my easter bonnet and knowing when i got back there'd be a massive family dinner waiting as well as making my parents hide all my eggs around the house so i could hunt them down. Just doesn't seem like that anymore, it's all a bit ''Woohoo got the day off work, lets eat chocolate.'' So in a nostalgic tribute to how easter used to be here are few of the amazing vintage ''easter'' finds floating around on Etsy at the moment.

Happy Easter x

EARLY MORNING TEA

I'm going back to work today as i feel a tiny bit better, still not able to lift though! However it's a 7am wake up call and oh my god i've had to crawl straight to the kettle and get myself a large cuppa. I seriously can't function without it. Anyone else the same?

Although i did get dressed first ... unlike Lady Gaga!

YAY A SALE

Just when i was starting to think i might not make another sale on my Etsy for a while. I woke up to a suprise sale of one of my Mappin and Webb handbags. I'm so happy but also sad to part with it. The bags mean a lot to me as i am a descendant of the Mappin family. I only decided to part with them as they've been sat in the wardrobe gathering dust. Not the best place for such lovely bags. I decided I'd rather someone who's going to hopefully show off the bags have them. So in honour of that here's a few of the other vintage handbags on offer around etsy. With my other Mappin and Webb one thrown in for good measure. Click the pictures to visit the shops these bags are for sale in.





YOU GOT DESIGNER SHADES JUST TO HIDE YOUR FACE

I knoooow i keep banging on and on about summer but its seriously sunny here in Yorkshire, England so i can't help it. My first etsy sale was a pair of 70's seriously oversized shades. So i thought in aid of all the sun i'd show you some other amazing vintage pairs on Etsy. The good thing about buying a vintage pair and not a ''vintage style'' pair is you're not likely to see anyone else in the same ones. If there's one thing that bugs me about summer it's bumping into another 40 people in the same ''vintage'' Primark sunglasses as the ones you're wearing. Plus with vintage there is never a shortage of styles to choose from. Catseye to aviators. Plus you can buy yourself a gorgeous designer pair for £100's or a just as amazing pair for £10. It all depends on what you're after.
