What we wore: A trip to the Albert Docks


Saturday's sky was grey here in Liverpool but we still had a really fun day! We had lots of much needed sleep followed by brunch (eggs in basket, smoked bacon and tomatoes and lots of coffee) then a stroll down to the Albert docks. It's quite touristy on a saturday but this didn't bother us too much. We kind of captured the stroll in these photographs, with some liverpool street art, cafe 36, the one centre (with cherry blossom now in bloom!), and finally the Albert dock itself. 

We had a look around the tate gallery... with a fair amount of time spent reading through all the creative books in the gallery shop. I purchased this fantastic children's book for myself Around the world with mouk, this book has really inspired me! We then bought sweets in the quay confectionery shop and headed back into town. The day ended with yummy burgers at Gourmet burger and beers at Leaf cafe. I also wore my hair in milkmaid braids for the first time ever! Check Tick Tock vintage for a great tutorial.

It's been a busy week for us, we have been working extra hard on our soon to be new vintage website! We've had so much fun working creatively together. There have been times of frustration, small strops (mainly by me), and a lack of sleep, but it's all been worth it and we are almost there! I really admire Ross's patience for working out all the complicated web coding etc... thanks Ross :)

We will keep you updated with our progress we should be launching our new website within the next couple of weeks fingers crossed!

We would love to share more images on our blog of those of you who buy our vintage from The Attic People shop. Please email us if you would like to be featured on our blog, we would love to hear from you!

Nottingham Part 1: Outfit post and meeting a special little boy

Just arrived back home home from the most amazing long weekend away in Nottingham. We payed a very special visit to my sister Sam, her fiance Mark, Betty the dog and our new two month old nephew... precious Louie! We had the best time hanging out, listening to Marks fantastic music collection, being overly spoilt by my sisters incredible cooking, taking a few nice trips into Nottingham and fitting in as many cuddles with Louie as possible!

My sister has a wonderful house full of gorgeous vintage furniture, fabrics and quirky hand made items; it makes a great backdrop for taking outfit posts as everything is so visually pleasing to the eye.

Ross took control of taking the majority of photos on this trip (Hence the fact he is not in many of them!), he did such a great job it's been hard to whittle them down. It doesn't help with such a cute nephew constantly pulling the most wonderful expressions!

I was quite proud of myself for traveling so light, I tried to incorporate lots of light layering with a sensible warm winter coat; this worked out just perfect. The top I'm wearing is a new one I brought recently from primark, It's very comfortable, easy to mix with other garments and only cost around £8! I don't tend to buy too much from the high street as were buying endless beautiful vintage pieces, but I will admit it feels quite good to have a brand new item in my wardrobe now and then.

It was Such a lovely moment when Louie fell asleep in my arms, am I feeling broody? Yes... but a few more years down the line would be a perfect. I have four beautiful nieces and nephews to keep me entertained for now! More Nottingham photos will follow soon. Hope you all are having a good week?

Out and about in Liverpool


Marisa wearing Vintage 50's coat” title=

Our weekend was pretty laid back, which was great because we'd been working hard recently in the week. Although it went all too quick!

Can't wait for spring, it seems really cold at the moment! Still needing our cosy coats and hats; we strolled into town and had a little nose 'round Oxfam. Marisa stumbled upon a great 'Vintage Princess duffle coat'.

After that we got warm, and had a couple of movie nights in. Got some great food and drink, and saw a Julia Roberts film called "Eat, Pray, Love" which reminded us of our holiday in Bali.

Still loads of new vintage dresses and vintage mens knitwear to come this week!
