I thought I'd share some of my exciting new finds before heading off to Cornwall on holiday tomorrow! It has been a very busy but lovely week, which I started with a 5am start to head off to the antiques market at Kempton Park, which was amazing. I was so spoilt for choice and bewildered by all the wonderful things that I came away empty-handed, but I definitely want to go back with some spare cash! I had my eye on vintage Steiff bears, Victorian photo albums, a 40s silk wedding dress, antique furniture, lots of stuffed animals, 60s dresses... need I say more?
After that, I went to the Clothing Warehouse near Newbury, where I've never been before. I thought I would find nothing, but walked out with a long burgundy dressing gown in thick satin, a beautiful vintage crimson dress, a white 60s shift dress, a beige mac, a lovely blue and lace petticoat that is so thick I will definitely be wearing it as a dress, and a polks dot shirt... and then to finish it off, I found a lovely jade spotty shirt at a sale in New Look, and a 50s red vanity case from Ebay! Bargain! And all the Warehouse things were £6 or less. I love it there, and have become such a huge fan of thrifting.
Then to end the week I wore the red dress and bag to my friend's wedding in the Peak District, which was beautiful. She looked stunning and because of the amazing purple heather on the moors, she looked like she walked straight out of Wuthering Heights in her lovely dress. Perfect, and definitely an area I'd like to visit again.
Oh, and my hair is finally getting to the shade I want now!
More after my holiday, hopefully with lots of pictures...
