London, 11-11-11

We had a trip to London yesterday.

Quite a day.

Saw my lovely brother and sister.

It was a beautiful day but slightly emotional being on the 11th.

Really nice to get together and remember all those dear loved ones.

:(

It was a chilly autumn day with so many different activities and sounds going on compared to here by this quite seaside town.

Red poppies everywhere.

My red, white and black poppy skirt,

Sad, but it was little one's first trip (that he can remember)

 to the capital.

Love why he asked about all the beeping and honking!

I thought everything looked beautiful.

Cute Yellow bathroom signs in one of our favourite restaurants.

I didn't have any of these beautiful looking desserts.

Not sure why I just had rye toast?

Crazy.

In awe of the beautiful autumnal colours in Hyde Park.

Rustling of leaves.

Just trying my first video on my blog?

Pavilion.

Bleak tree.

Royal ALbert Hall.

Friendly squirrel.

Wow to the colour of this lovely tree at the Serpentine.

Lunch time at the Lido 

after visiting the Serpentine Gallery.

Chairs enjoying the view.

Dog waiting for it's owner.

Until next time.

 The Blind Lemon Vintage 

Fashion Fair

I had the pleasure of attending the Blind Lemon Vintage fashion fair recently in Swansea.

It was founded in 2005 in Pembrokeshire and has now developed into s series of Vintage Fashion Fairs across the Uk. It is run by Edwin Dyson who is based in Bristol.

I only took a few photographs as one had to try on loads of cute 1950's outfits and look at all the lovely treasures.

Lots and lots of jewellery. 

Maroon hat. 

Really cute 1950's floral print dress.

A plethora of pretty printed dresses, skirts and shirts.

Grey spotty and yellow floral dress.

Heart shaped teapot.

Jewellery detail.

Floral fabric.

Blue and white swimming hat.

Would love the looks if I turned up on the beach with this beauty!

Yellow swimming hat.

Black and gold  dress.

Red and yellow dress detail.

blue and white pinafore dress.

Gold dress detail.

Brown shoes.

I have a passion for old magazines.

 Particularly love this fun cover on the magazine Courier.

I was in a world-wind rush going around.

Chatted to some lovely people, tried on some lovely clothes and took a few photos.

I did rather well,even though I was so so so tempted to buy more. 

I  brought the cutest vintage red floral skirt.I haven't worn it yet but I think I actually might wear it today.

I am now looking forward to the next vintage fair now.

Vintage Blue and Gold Teapot With Chris, Part Two,

Vintage Blue and Gold Teapot With Chris,

Part 2

It seems like so long ago since I took these photographs of Chris. 

Looks so nice and sunny in these photographs.

Been a busy few days, weeks, months, year, 

you know how it goes!

But here we are graced by Chris's lovely company and her really cute bright and cheery outfit to go with this really fun blue teapot.

(Read Part 1 of this to understand the reference to matching teapots with outfits??!?)

For those that may have seen my lovely friend Chris,she is usually wearing Anthropologie.

So here are a few more cute clothes from this cool shop!

Teapot and Chris.

Love this red and white short sleeved shirt.

Little one's hands touching the old blue teapot. 

Have to teach them so early to appreciate such fineness! 

So have a serious case of the wantsssssssss with this blue sail skirt!

So, so, so need it living by the sea-side here.

Well maybe need is the wrong word, but seriously love it.

 Have a good day, Yippie the weekend approaches!

See you soon.

Vintage fair coming up this weekend!

Can't wait.
