Lovely Weekend...

Apologies again for taking a while to update the blog. I am absolutely loving getting my thoughts down on 'paper' but life just seems to be getting in the way of being able to do this as much as I want to. Especially when doing an uninspiring full time job, which at the minute is very busy!

But anyway, I just wanted to tell you about the lovely weekend I had...

It had been a while since I had enjoyed a quiet weekend. I currently live up in Newcastle and have family and friends dotted around the country so very often I am away visiting them. However this weekend I completely relaxed and spent time at my flat in Newcastle with the boyfriend.

On Sunday I visited Newcastle's 'Affordable Vintage Fair' at Northumbria University's Student Union and I have to say it's the best vintage fair I've been to. There were around fifty stalls and lots of different items from delicious chunky knitwear, complete with elbow patches (I need some of these in my life) beautiful sequinned numbers, cameo brooches, leather satchels, and battered boots and coats that would add some edge to any outfit.

I was in my element, and although everything was reasonably priced I could have spent a small fortune.

I definitely recommend anyone to go to an 'Affordable Vintage Fair' if you get the chance. They tour the country and will be in cities throughout October and Novemeber :)

I was very restrained and bought just one thing and I absolutely love it! It's a vintage farmer's wax jacket- Barbour Style. I can't wait to wear it! The country style for winter is one of my favourite looks and I think the jacket will look great with chunky knitwear, checked shirts, brogues and lace dresses.
