Natasha Bailie Vintage

23rd September 2009

Welcome to a dull and dreary Wednesday folks,
I’ll kick of this post with an outfit then move on to the exciting stuff 😉

Now, I know a lot of you love vintage (as do I) so I wanted to share with you a fantastic vintage shop I came accross whilst procrasinating from doing what I should have been doing! I got in touch with the lovely owner Natasha Bailie to find out a bit more for us all as well.

http://www.natashabailie.com only started selling online last year and is already about to be featured in Novembers issue of Vogue showcasing her gorgeous vintage wedding dresses (which are selling out faster than she can source and stock them!)

“I like to bring my personality to my shop online as I used to love working in retail and chatting to customers. I wanted that same satisfaction selling gorgeous clothes from yesteryear online. I have my online chat button so my customers can ask me questions and have a chin wag if I am online too…which is most of the time. I chat about loads of things on my blog, vintage fashion, dresses, vintage furniture and generally just things i like or I have seen. I think it is really important for people to know who you are. I love meeting and chatting to customers and I love that they feel they can and that I am so contactable”

All the clothes featured on the website are hand sourced and quality assured. The website has a dedicated area for Vintage trends, a “Get the Look” section, A-Z of vintage and more.

My personal favourites up on the website at the moment are

This vintage style skirt (handmade)

Stunning pink dress, perfect with black tights, a belt and some boots

FAUX fur coat

Vintage boots (that just so happen to be my size if anyone is feeling generous!)

With worldwide shipping, great prices and a fantastic returns policy
(not to mention that Natasha is so enthusiastic and happy to help) go treat yourself now! This is honestly once of the nicest vintage online stores I have come accross and I’m saving up to treat myself to a dress or a bag…or shoes?! I don’t know. Something nice anyway!

Strictly Week One

22nd September 2009

And here is a 60 second re-cap of what went on this week

My weekend was complete with Strictly and X-factor. I love how good Autumn/Winter TV is, it almost makes up for the shorter days and colder weather.

I have some clips from the show that I can share with you,
but don’t want to bombard, so please take a vote

YES or NO in the comments and later today I’ll edit this post accordingly.

For more information on Strictly and this year’s contestants, visit the official site
www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing

I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday?
I’ve just got back from blood tests, just as the rain started. Good timing or what?!

Black and Blue

21st September 2009

Happy Monday all,
the start of another week. It’s looking very autumnal in my garden, leaves strewn everywhere, beautiful but at the same time a little depressing. I must try and get some photos this week.

Todays outfit kind of breaks some rules, I remember being told when I was younger not to wear black and blue together,
but I’ve become rather fond of the contrast and so, with a lack of options of this inbetween weather, I chucked this on

[please note Flash, who has been stalking me all morning]

The lights have wet look leopard print detail and are very strange to walk around in, as they make a wierd noise against laminate flooring.

Anyone have any exciting plans for the week? I have a quiet one ahead with only blood tests and the dentist booked in so far…

And London Fashion Week is, in my opinion, far surpassing NY. I am head over heels with Matthew Williamson especially.

Friday Outfit

18th September 2009

This denim shirt is the last of my purchases from last week. It’s from New Look (see, I’m obsessed with that shop!) and was £20 (I had a 20% off voucher, should have been £25)

Hopefully a semi lazy weekend ahead, I’m so tired. I may not do much with my life right now, but lack of sleep is driving me insane.

Strictly tonight X-factor tomorrow
(work comes first though, I loathe my 8:30am start time)

What are your plans?
