I know, I know, its been winter for a month or two but it'll still be winter for another 3 months. 
Here is my winter lookbook... (It's a big one)

I love this vintage kaftan! I travel quite a lot, driving from home to uni 
and comfort is key. I'm wearing jeans and a crop-top
this time but you definitely don't have to.

Ahhh the turtle neck. I have a huge love/hate relationship with the 
turtle neck but this one is so cosy! The neck is huge so you can turn 
it up and keep your nose warm!



I live in this dress. Its the perfect length to be a top as well. You can 
dress it up, down, wear it on a night out, for comfort, with jeans, without 
jeans; it is so versatile! It'll be completely wearable in spring too, just perfect. 


Simple Chic. I love kahki and this shirt is so effortless. Like the dress, 
you could dress it up or down, wear for work or out shopping. 


 Another dress... This time with no jeans! I think teamed with a thick coat 
and appropriate shoes like these Doc Martens, going bare legged in 
winter isn't a problem. Obviously providing it's not snowing.








 Of course the suit made it in! It's the most perfect thing I own!


Opps, that dress again! I said it was versatile didn't I?! 


 I'll wear these rings every single day.

I love vintage fashion and I love looking for the best places to buy the best pieces. 
After reading, 'Paris Street Style' I was completely inspired to go and sift through all the best
charity shops I knew and it got me thinking about this post... Where to 
find the best vintage clothes in Plymouth and Falmouth!




Mama's Wardrobe:







Dad's Wardrobe: 



Google: Vintage Fairs:


Falmouth: There's little shop at the top of High Street
 that I can't find anywhere on Google or remember the name of. It's like 
Wild Pony but also sells suits:



Plymouth: My fur is from a shop that was in Parade Antiques 
on the Barbican but has gone now but in the same building is Luna Chic
which is very good. 


Plymouth: Shabby Chic, The Barbican 
Shabby Chic is owned by St. Lukes Hospice and it's 
very close to my heart. They sell furniture and books too.




Plymouth: YMCA Cornwall Street
Another charity shop. At the front is a normal charity shop 
selling old New Look, but at the back! At the back is 
everything Retro and Vintage, all ordered by colour and size.



I think there's an element of skill and patience to be able to thrift shop 
and I personally don't have either. It has to be laid out on a plate 
for me. But when I'm in the mind set for it, I can find some real gems. 
I love shoulder pads, they're my weakness. 

A couple of other I didn't mention properly are Wild Pony, Falmouth and Parisian Sweet, Plymouth. 
Parisian Sweet is brand new and sells Designer Vintage, way out of my price range but it's amazing to look at.
