Seaside Vintage Treasures

Not the weekend just gone, but the one before that I went to Whitby for the day for the Seaside Vintage Fair. Wanted to show you some photos I took while I was there as it was a lovely day. Whitby is such a nice place too with so much character and charm so I jumped at the chance to visit. The Vintage Fair was held by Rose & Brown and when I lived in Leeds I used to love visiting their gorgeous shop in Saltaire and the great Vintage Fairs that they hold in the village.
The Fair was held in Whitby's historic Pavillion and this gave the event a great atmosphere. 1960s music wafted through the speakers as you browsed through the clothes, bags, shoes and homeware from through the decades.
Here are some of the flyers for Vintage Fairs in the area that I picked up. I also got my hands on a lovely dress that I think will be perfect for A/W. It's navy blue with lovely yellow spots all over. Polka dots were big news on the catwalks thanks to the legendary Marc Jacobs and I'm looking forward to being able to wear it with a chunky cardigan and some high heeled ankle lace up boots (still need to find the perfect pair!!)

I'm hoping that the next stop on the Vintage trail will be Spitalfields Market. I'm down in London in a couple of weekends time and really want to go to have a look at what's on offer as have never been before. Does anyone have anymore tips for where to find great vintage items in London??
