A little bit of green...


This is one of my favourite all time vintage 50s dresses from my own wardrobe. I have owned this beauty for a couple of years now, It's travelled with me to Paris, Milan, Switzerland and Bali... so I have many fond memories wearing this dress :)

I originally sourced this for The Attic People Vintage but it ended up fitting me so perfectly I had to keep it. I just love the forest green with the colourful pops of colour and the pretty florals. This will certainly be a keeper forever!

These photos were taken around Spitalfields market. Every thursday the stalls are mainly vintage home wares, fabrics, books and a few clothes stalls. I brought a few nice things which I will share with you soon. 

So the weekend is here already! Any interesting plans? The weather is still very temperamental and rainy here in London so I think we will make weekend decisions based on the weather. We will be watching Glastonbury tonight on tv... I'm not wishing I was there; thinking of all the mud already. I have been to Glastonbury in the past but really prefer the smaller festivals that are a little more laid back. Last year we went to Latitude which I would very much recommend. What's your favourite summer festival... be it tiny small or ridiculously large?

Wearing: Vintage 50s floral dress, Topshop socks, sandals from chairty shop, vintage suede bag from The Attic People Vintage.

  5. oh, the weather here in germany is equally rainy and cold :( I'm not a big fan of these really large festivals. Instead of festivals, I prefer smaller concerts of the bands I love. Just loved the concert of the Kills I have been with my hubby :)
