Vintage Treasures

Hello my lovelies! Today’s blogpost was inspired by a vintage fayre I went to yesterday at the Assembly Rooms in Derby with my wonderful friend Nicole. It was amazing, (aren’t they always?) we found lots of little treasures and even treated ourselves a little bit!

Here are both our Outfit’s from yesterday:

 I do apologise for my dodgy pose but we can’t all look as lovely as Nicole all the time – hehe! (She’s a model too!)

We both chose different ends on the vintage spectrum with our outfits yesterday, Nicole went for the ‘Trad Tweed’ look and I went for the ‘Floral Heaven’ look J

We both bought a few items each, mine being two three scarves and Nicole bought a lovely black skirt with gold baroque embroidery – how exciting! She even got me an early xmas pressie. (No telling!)

So, considering I didn’t get too much yesterday, I thought I’d share with you a couple of my recent vintage treasures!

SCARVES…

I have quite a thing for scarves! These are my recent purchases ranging from £1 - £4 each, which is soo good considering how nice some of them are! No.4 is real cashmere and No’s 3 and 5 are silk.

 Next up is this wonderful Navy Riding Jacket that I picked up in Nottingham a couple of weeks back. It is beautiful and fits soo perfectly it’s unreal, I snatched this one up for £30 which is a little more than I would have bargained for, but I gave in in the end and I just had to have it.

And finally, we have this lovely tartan blazer I bought earlier this year. This tartan pattern is lovely – I adore navy and hunter green colours together! It even has a navy velvet collar and very good sized pockets – which is quite rare in blazers. Normally I have to sew my own in. This cost me £18. Perfect for the tartan trend this winter!

What are your favourite vintage treasures?

Berry Tones

First of all, I apologise for not posting anything new for a while. I thought having a week off would solve all my problems and I could get back to blogging but I thought wrong. I had so much work to do but now that’s all over I can continue!

My inspiration for this post came to me just the other day, when a friend of mine noticed that I always have something burgundy on, whether it’s my nail varnish, my ring or the ribbon in my hair; the colour will be on my person in some way or another.

So after digging through my wardrobe and bedroom, I thought I’d show you my favourite berry coloured items for this season!

 Ring - Birthday Present (Dorothy Perkins)   

I was shopping and decided to splash out and treat myself with this Sally Hansen Nail Varnish. This one is in the shade ‘Red Zin’ and it is absolutely amazing! I have been on the lookout for the perfect shade of Burgundy (my go-to colour) for so long. And I think it’s safe to say that I have finally found it. I would most definitely recommend you try out ‘Sally Hansen’ for nail varnishes, the brushes are really thick and the varnish is a good quality that lasts – and the colours are to die for!

  

Next up, are my gorgeous winter coats! 

This one (above) I picked up last year in H&M, it was around £35. It's so cosy. It has a fur collar/lapel which is just amazing during the cold weather. It has a belt tie and round black buttons on the front. 
My second coat, you may recognise from my 'OOTD Southampton' post, is a beautiful oversized boyfriend coat.I really love the bobbly texture of the coat too, it's also really warm! Again, this coat wad from H&M and with 20% off, I got this coat for £27!

Coat - H&M

 Now, when it comes to shoes, I am not as obsessed as most girls. To be honest, I hardly own any! In my day-to-day life, I think I must rotate between three pairs. However, these are my favourite burgundy shoes I own (out of three!) They are four-inch wedges, with a black elastic section around the ankle and zips at the side. I like to wear these with jeans to dress up and outfit for a meal out or something like that. I picked these up last year at Dorothy Perkins for only £20!

Wedges - Dorothy Perkins

And last but not least, is this beautiful tea dress I picked up from primark recently. Since the Primark website was launched, I went and had a nosy around and saw this dress on there! I instantly knew I had to have it! At only £8 you can't say no, can you? I already own 2 tea dresses similar to this one and I love them!

It's so so so pretty;the background of the dress is a dark blue-black colour, that really compliments the brighter floral tones. I can't wait to wear this dress with some wooly tights, a blazer and a chunky scarf this winter!

Whats your must-have colour this winter? Let me know!

Got any questions? Pop them in the box below, I read all your comments and try to reply to all of them.

That's all folks! (Haha!) I hope you enjoyed this post, because I certainly enjoyed making it! 

Love Roseanne
