Hello Juno!!

Last night, after an unexpected Tweet I was lucky enough to attend the Juno Says Hello sale.

If you haven't been onto the site it is definately worth checking out. Taking Vintage clothes to another level in terms of quality and service it is an Amazing website. Ran by Rebecca, who has a great eye, there is no rummaging needed - everything is beautiful.

The evening last night included champagne and cupcakes aswell as a much appreciated 20% off! Despite pay day not being until friday I couldnt resit two beautiful 50's dresses... the velvet one, while it may have to wait until winter to wear is so comfy and my absolute favourite and the black is so classic and useful - (why is it usually so hard to find classic black vintage dresses!.. they are always patternend!)

Anyway after my huge rave (not a sponsored post honestly - I am just a huge fan!!) I cannot reccomend them enough - the dressses are expensive but they are beautiful quality and definately worth it.

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

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!

busy Britannia

Home sweet Home from Barcelona - Having just eaten the biggest bowl of pasta ever (literally - i think i just had an entire pack of spaghetti to myself!) i am gearing myself up for a manic week. After flight delays coming home last night we arrived back to Hampstead this morning only to empty our suitcases onto the floor and change before heading off to work again :(
I did manage to fit in a sneaky drink tonight before coming home though at the Book Club again. This time to celebrate Sugarhill boutique opening online. Selling a collection of cute floral and printed dresses all made by brother and sister duo Alex and Pawel and utilising Bali skills and workshops they definately have some summer essentials..I particularly like the cute hawaii playsuit :) x

Sunday Wanderings

On Sunday Sam and I wanted to make the most of the sun so went out for one of my favourite days - a lazy wander around the area where we live. Freud's house, which is down the road from us is currently wrapped in hair by Artist Alice Anderson, so we took a wander there.. then there also happened to be a collectors fair on in the village hall where I picked up a cute little spoon and an amazing mother of pearl (?) purse that opens to reveal a make up compact! x

We sat next to the ponds for a while and ended up walking through highgate and kentish town before heading back to eat :) perfect.

A Vintage Royal Wedding

Whilst I am not a fan of the Royal Family I love any excuse to have a day off work and party all day! My friend Madeleine travelled up to London and we went down to the Leonard Street Street Party - because really, what goes better with a wedding than vintage shopping!! x

Organised by the Book Club we weren't organised enough to book tickets so turned up at 10 to collect wristbands... only to be greeted by a queue 3 times round the block! wow! After queueing for around an hour we were lucky enough to be smuggled in by someone I met on twitter! x

once in we were greeted by bunting, popcorn, a vintage market, scones and gin cocktails. yum! x

Later in the day I met my dad at the Republican's Love Republic party where Sam and I bid in a charity auction and won 12 bottles of champagne and a theatre ticket! x We then met some friends outside Buckingham palace to carry on drinking :S x

Sunday roundup

Here's a few things that happened to me this week....

-I joined the Gym! - as part of my Aussie 'Lighter self' plan to get healthier, and also just for myself (i really want to lose a stone) i thought this would kick me into exercising!... I also received my Aussie workout t shirt in the post at work! then... I got ill!.. and had to work from home subsequently doing no exercise!

My mum and brother came to London for mexican and margaritas with Sam and I.

Alice, Becky an I had a girly dinner...

and Becky bought me some fab tissueclouds pencils and pen pot!

Emily had an awesome hen do.... i forgot my camera but bought two disposable ones on the way there. these are the only iphone pictures i took, whilst we were getting ready.

I joined Instragram.. ..like twitter for pictures.. i think!

I went vintage shopping in primrose hill vintage fair with sam and bought this bed jacket/dress:

Then went to a pub in old street with Allie where we watched morris dancers and there was a guy in full gimp getup!

not bad for a week full of a cold! x
