A WEEKEND IN CARDIFF

A weekend in Cardiff never disappoints. This weekend we went to see 

Cardiff's Winter Wonderland and went on two obligatory nights out...

The standard 2am Chicken Curry from Dorothy's on Chippy Alley...

Drunken, classy, corridor shoot. Some of the 'angles' from this shoot were... Interesting...

Cardiff Castle...

One of my favourite things about Cardiff is the arcades. They are so unique and beautiful, despite there being a Pizza Express here (not very unique). We found the cutest little 

vintage shop called Hobos, chech it out if you come across it...

Hot Chocolate break at Barker's Tea Room. Plus complimentary Vogue 

Busker: John Adams 

The Winter Wonderland carousel. I love the colours in carousels, there's something 

about them that are magical.

I found this jacket for £10(!) from a shop which is linked to Tea Room we got hot chocolate in, 

Barker. Unfortunately they plan to close soon :(

WINTER LOOKBOOK

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.

Hunting for Vintage

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.
