Hannah's Friday Favourites

So last week I raved about my new bridesmaids shoes, but unfortunately when they arrived they were far to high  and did not go with the dress-have now surrendered to the nude tones and purchased these simple court shoes from ASOS
Also this week I started watching 'Once upon a time'-although the concept is quite strange to begin with I am now addicted to it!

Have also added a new item to my 'WISH LIST' this beautiful bag by 'Dolce and Gabbana' available at netaporter.
Finally, saw this picture on this great blog I read Uncharted Style.I love wearing pink and thought this outfit was amazing!



Sally's Friday Favourites - Reality and Dreams

Happy Friday Everyone......


So the main focus of this week has been getting this; 

To look like this; 
and this is where my new best friend enters the picture; how did I ever live without him :)

So after backbreaking work....hopefully permanent curvature of the spine has not set in....I have decided to treat and reward myself with this little number; 

And whilst looking for treats...found this shoe designer I am now coveting (Kat Malonie) but unfortunately at over £200 a pair.....her shoes remain dreams for the time beginning.......

but one day ...........Have a good weekend folks..

Buffy's Friday Favourites

Just a few things that have been a part of my week... The Back Keys Album El Camino...absolutely in love with it, I have been re-reading one of my all time favourite books The Secret and have actively been trying you be positive and grateful for everything I have...so far so good :) I was also very fortunate to be given this new skirt and jumper from our vintage stock...thank you Hannah & Sally!!
The necklace represents me trying to wear different jewellery...I am an earring wearer, through and through...so trying to break out of the habit and I think this Tom Binns Fauve hand-painted Swarovski crystal necklace at £805 might just be the thing to convert me...and finally this gorgeous Burberry Lipstick in Devon Sunset for  £22.50...perfect for spring lips!

Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair Nottingham and POM BEARS

Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair last Saturday in Nottingham in the Crown Plaza Hotel - lovely venue, and particularly appreciated the niceness of the facilities and lush soap and hand cream in the toilets - I am so easily pleased :) This was a particularly nice venue and we were afforded a lot of extra space, which was a luxury and meant we could all spread out a little. 



 Lots and lots of lovely customers came and the stream of people into the fair seemed to remain pretty constant throughout the day...which was nice as it meant there were no lulls (usually noticeable when everyone seems to disappear and you realize it's lunch time! Also slightly sad in our camp as it's the time we realize that we ate most of our lunch a couple of hours ago!). 




 One of the non vintage highlights of our day proved to be the two adorable little girls belonging to the trader opposite....they were so good and both delightful and funny in their antics. They also made us aware for the very first time of an important revelation..........POM BEARS now come in prawn cocktail flavour! Hovering in their vicinity however, did not see us offered a taster!



A successful day and so lovely to meet up with traders from Derby's Vintage Fair last week - it seems to be quite a Vintage Community developing.  Enjoyed meeting new customers who as always....seem so friendly (and this from a southerner lol) and it was interesting this week to see a mix of vintage clothing of differing eras, coupled with jewellery and in particular vintage homewares.

Sally's Friday Favourites - Reflections......

This seems to have been a remarkably short week and it seems only five minutes since I was sat here last Friday doing my Friday Favourites......maybe it's my age....time passing more quickly these days!!!

It has been a reflective week for me this week...again maybe it's my age and thus have decided that this week my Friday Favourites will be a collection of quotes I have found that have made me smile, inspired me and struck a cord.....


A Beautiful Apache Blessing

 ”May the sun bring you energy by day,
  May the moon softly restore you by night,
  May the rain wash away your worries,
  May the breeze blow new strength into your being.
  May you walk gently through the world
    and know its beauty all the days of your life.”
                                     Apache Blessing

Just think this blessing is so beautiful....

So true....

Too many people moan about their lives but do nothing to change it....thinking that by some divine intervention it will change itself......

In appreciation of everyone in my life that makes me smile and brings laughter into my life......thank you..

and finally...just because ......

Hannah's Friday Favourites.

This week I am loving these Limted Edition Topshop dresses...so beautiful and perfect for the summer!
I have finally found the perfect shoes to go with my bridemaids dress, they are from Zara and a snip at only £29.99. Lets just hope when they arrive they do actually go with the dress-fingers crossed!
Finally, I have been listening to DJ Fresh's song 'Hot right now' on constant repeat and catching up on my favourite vampire show 'The Vampire Diaries'.
