Sneak Peak

While I'm waiting to get all the photos back from my Vintage day on Monday, I thought I'd post a sneak peak of what me and my lovely mother got up to on Monday:

After winning Voutique and Candypout's blog competition we headed to London for a vintage makeover and a mini photoshoot........

Georgiana did a wonderful job on our hair and make-up. Pampering us for nearly 2 and a half hours!!! 

And taking some lovely sweet pics of me and my mum in her beautiful retro studio.

Needless to say we were very happy bunnies when we left!!!

Can't wait to blog about the whole day and get the rest of the pics :)

Brooches

Inspired by my last post (Dear Mum...) I've decided to dedicate this post to......... BROOCHES!!!

While you may instantly be conjuring up images of our old Queenie and her great love affair with pins,  

I think brooches should begin to join the ranks of standard everyday jewellery.

Whether they're worn as OTT additions to a top or as a decorative head piece, brooches should definitely be a must have accessory to glitz up any outfit. As these lovely ladies show, their vintage brooches add a perfect touch of glamour. 

So if you fancy adding a bit of sparkle to your life, here's a few little pins I found that are currently knocking about the highstreet: 

1. Large Drop Crystal Brooch, H.Samuel, £17.99

2. Crystal and Purple Enamel Hummingbird Brooch, Debenhams, £12

3. Peony Sparkle Brooch, Accessorize, £10

4. Alice Joseph Vintage Sherman Diamanté Brooch, John Lewis, £138

5. Eclectica 1980s Gold Plated Penny Farthing Brooch, John Lewis, £55

6. Bow Crystal Brooch, Cath Kidston, £22

And as it seems winter is refusing to let way for Spring, these few pieces should hopefully brighten up your coat on a cold morning :).
