Just a quick hello!

Oh, dear readers!
I have been bloomin' awful at keeping you up to date and though I'm sure no one's noticed my absence, I do really need to get over these nightshifts so life can resume as normal!

One more tonight so this is just quick post to show off my lovely new-to-me Tara Starlet dress I bought off a lovely lass...

Yellow catseye sunglasses: vintage fair.
Yellow floral Tara Starlet 'Home Front Dancing Dress'.
Bamboo bag: collectors fair.
Clarks Originals wedge sandals: ebay.
Green wooden bangles.
Bamboo bangle: Daisy & Lola's in Norwich.

I just ADORE Tara Starlet's dresses. This is my second, and I just love the way they hang, and feel to wear. The only reason I don't have more is because they make my purse cry a little! But are worth the pennies when you pop one on and swish around in them and realise how delightful they are.

This is what I wore today to mooch around the free bits at Vintage at Southbank in the sun!
I have heard pretty mixed reviews, but I can't complain about the free bits....
Well, apart from the fact that there were so many stall with things I wanted, but that's hardly a terrible thing. Bad for my purse however! I came away with a few bits which I am sure will creep up onto here when normality resumes. 
What did those of you who attended think of the festival?

Now, I am off for another nightshift shortly. Le sigh!
Toodle pip! xx

  3. You look like a screen siren! Love it! I did not go because I couldn't afford to go. I didn't realise there would be free bits until another blogger who was also a seller wrote about it. Such a shame. I've heard the free bits were the best bits so far...very mixed reviews. x

  4. OOh lovely! I wish I had saved my pennies and only gone to the free bits of vintage- TBH, the inside was OK but not worth £60.

  5. Oooh, you look lovely! I need to try on a Tara Starlet dress I think. Worried about them not fitting my arms!

    Apparently there was a picture of me on the big screen at Vintage, but so far I've only found one person who saw it!

  6. Thanks for the comments lovelies!
    RC- do they sell Tara Starlet in Daisy and Lola's? Definitely worth trying one on if you have queries...but they have a bloomin' lovely fit! And yes I saw over le twitters that you were on the big screen though I never saw a big screen meself...was probably in the non-free bit. Exciting though!
