Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair

This morning Sam and I headed down to Judy's affordable vintage fair for a good rummage and to begin the first in the Vintage City Guide series. :)

Judy's Vintage Fair travels around different locations all over the UK (the next one is Mon 30th at spitalfiedlds) selling a great mix of vintage fashion, home wares and furniture.
Started by Judy Berger, an ex selfridges personal shopper and curators at Vintage at Goodwood and Vintage at the Southbank, the fairs usually have live music as well as a brilliant tea shop/cafe on site for tired boyfriends ;)

Upcoming Fairs are:
30th May: Spitalfields, London
4th June: Leeds Corn Exchange
4th June: Leamington Spa
12 June: The Hospitium, York
18th June: The Chester Guildhall
26th June: Balham bowls club, london
26th June: Rheged centre, Cumbria
3rd July: Leeds Market
15-18 July: Lovebox festival
29-31 July: southbank vintage festival, london

I would definitely advise getting there early as this one got very busy with a few ruthless shoppers - elbows definitely at the ready!

Pentameters Theatre

Last night Sam and I went to the Pentameters Theatre in Hampstead.

Despite walking past it almost every day we have never seen a play in the theatre before and now that we have we will definately have to make it a regular occurance!

Located above the Horseshoe pub (which, by the way, although it's expensive does brilliant food) the theatre is tiny... probably only twice the size of our tiny living room.

We saw the Michael Field production of J.B Priestley's play 'The Linden Tree', set in 1947 the play follows a couple of days in the Linden household as the father, a university professor celebrates his birthday and experiences his possible retirement. The play reflects the fading optimism for the future in britain and the realities of the countries diminished position in the world.

I literally can not rave about this production enough! As the theatre was so small you are really engrossed in the play and both the material and acting were brilliant. At only £12 a ticket its similar to a cinema ticket price and so much better! - everyone go now! - the plays on for another couple of weeks :D xx

Lusciously lighter... ?

I have been taking part in the Lusciously lighter Aussie challenge for a while now... I always used Aussie shampoo and conditioner anyway and the Lighter range smells just as great as the others... I originally pitched that I would try and do this.. to lead a lighter spring... x

I haven't done too badly!..

-as well as cycling more to work I also joined the gym! (oh yes!) and despite not being able to walk properly for a couple of days after overdoing it I have been going fairly regularly..

- I have definitely been drinking more tea, by the barrow full!

- I've been trying to call my parents more and have had a good catch up with my mum :)

- going to Spain meant I took a lot more photos, I still would really like a better camera though as half of them came out blurry!

- I made it to the idler academy... post coming soon!

- and finally... x I also dyed my hair darker.. !

phew!!! .... If you want to try it all out too then Aussie have these helpful vids up on their site. x

Andrea Garland - Vintage Lipgosses!

Whilst wandering through Liberty's the other day I noticed a big pile of cute little vintage tin's in a bowl... surprised that liberty's had started selling vintage i went over to inspect them only to find out that they all had lipgloss in! - so cute! Andrea Garland recycles the old pots and fills with yummy new lipgloss which is also 100% natural.

Every tin is obviously unique and you can get refills once you have run out! - the perfect green beauty product!

Vintage City Guide

I have decided that I am going to start making use of my huge pice of Vintage traders cards and favourite shops and start posting a guide to vintage shopping on her with a google map that has all the locations in... this may take a while so bear with me - but it's nice to have a project to get stuck into! xx
