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??

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
