76 days to go!!

Ok, ok, Im not usually this giddy about christmas, but what I do get giddy about is christmas presents and party dresses!!  We're devoting the next few weeks to adding as many party dresses and possible xmas pressies to our Asos Marketplace boutique, so that you eager beavers can get the best stuff first!

Here's the pick of our fave dresses...watch out for our weekly blog for new party outifts and our next blog on christmas pressies!!

Blimey...it's only August already!

Sorry kids, it's been absolutely blooming ages since we last posted!
We've been terribly busy at Vintage at Southbank, buying new wintery vintage goodies, moving house and currently sun tanning ( ok, so that last one isn't really an excuse, but thought we'd rub it in just a tad!)

Summary of last month in photos I would say would be the best way!  Plus we know that, just like when reading trashy mags, no one reads the words, they just look at the pics.....

Talk about channeling the 70's.....I OFFICIALLY LOVE THIS MAN.

My best customer at Vintage at Southbank...snapped up a Leonard 1970's maxidress...loved her mix of vintage and modern designer style (rocking a Marc Jacobs bag is always a good idea!)

Summer weddings are my fave...especially in 40's and 50's wares.....

And they all said a turquoise sofa was a bad idea...pppppffffff

Paradise is hot this time of year

The gorgeous Candice soaking up the Italian sun....

My favourite things

So I never realised how many amazing pieces we had in our family apartment in Italy!
My beloved grandad bought this little boutique pad (my boutique I mean tiny) about 50 years ago and clearly proceed to fill it with some great 60's and 70's fixtures! Sadly some have been updated throughout the years but some of the best things remain.....

Clearly my obsession with this era has been passed on from my grandad....

Ok so this clearly isn't a historical piece of furniture...but it is a house staple...how on earth could you make Kir Royales without it??

A sunny day in Amsterdam.....

This week I have mostly been dreaming of picking tulips along the canals whilst on an original 1960's bicycle.  I have yet to actually make the purchase but I AM IN LOVE with the idea of my good self riding around whimsically on one.....

About to be mine!

This is obviously what I would look like on my new purchase....maybe a foot shorter in height and slightly healthier legs......And by healthier I mean chunky.

So over cars...the bicycle is the future.

From LA to Vegas and back again....

So the last month we have been channeling the fabulous life and jetting off to Vegas to party in various VIP sections of uber cool clubs and pool parties....while we were there we stepped out into the hollywood hills to scour the city for lots of fabulous vintage goodies to bring to you vintage loving ladies....
So that's where the last batch of vintage finds was found if you wondered!! Hurry before they're all gone!
We're partially happy to be back on solid british soil...but can't wait to get to our next trip....
We're off to the Continent to basque in the warm glow of the Mediterranean sun.... We shall mainly be wearing, 70's ethereal printed maxis and wide brim sun hats to keep our skin from being sun ravished....and of course every ladies staple...heels...be it wedge or mule darling!
Cannes, St Tropez and we may pop over to the Italian Riviera while we're there.... Who knows what treasures we may find...but trust us you'll be the first to see them all.  After all, we must keep you in the appropriate wares to meet your potential billionaire husbands to be!
So...we will bid you adieu while we wander amongst the glamorous film stars and billionaires....
See you on the other side...
Phrase du jour: Remember wearing vintage is about being fabulous and being individual...ALWAYS.

Take that's enough!

I don't know about you lot, but everyone up our end has gone a bit Take That crazy!  Now while I went to their concert and even tried to get a private meeting with the Barlow (see previous post...), I think we all need to stop and take a good look at ourselves.  30 year old women screaming at the very sight of 5 ageing pop stars is by no means cool to say the least.....
So whilst it was lovely having the boys back in town, I will not be sorry to see them go!
The question is, cwhat on earth will everyone talk about afterwards???

Just an Orange....nothing more, nothing less.

It's been an interesting weekend at We love Vintage HQ to say the least!
We've been to Old Trafford to watch some minor celebrities kick a football around for the Heart and Mind charity.  We've also had a great little photoshoot to update our homepage image on Asos marketplace...we absolutely LOVE the hipstamatic app on the iphone by the way....you can even get over exposure effects on it!  Although we did do that by accident and have no way of knowing how to recreate it.....

One of our fave shots from our photoshoot for Asos

Then last night we pottered on down to Pancea in Manchester to get a sneak peak at our favourite Manchester born pop stars at their private staff party...although after this busy weekend, we were all a bit pooped by half 1 (on a school night!) and only got to see the Orange...but he looked in good shape!  We always like to check out the best dressed people at these type on events, so here's some of our faves....

These are actually my little toesies...you can;t beat a pair of miu mius....

I was hoping to have a pic of me and Gary Barlow locked in an embrace..but alas that will remain only in my dreams!
Big love from We love Vintage  x
