Vintage Vineyard, Take Your Pick!

Hi Gals, went to a Vintage fair this weekend in my neighbouring Lancashire, city Preston, thought I would share a few of my photos with you, from my visit, I picked up two sweet pins, a flag in tangerine and turquoise crystals for me to put on my wool navy beret and a gold pin with blue crystals, designed to look like musical notes for my friend and beauty blogger Lauren as a thank-you for all her hard work on our recent Dear Diary event. I also found a store which sold bespoke retro style pieces and was delighted to find this retro pop, juicy red perspex key pendant, embelished with diamante,as you can see gals I have magpie like tendencies!!!

Look at this decadent lemon curd lamp that I was drooling over, drat it was taken! The citrus yellow one nearby with the nipped in waist was very sweet, but just a little out of my price range!Look at all these glam gems where is a girl to start first? A frothy parasol, not quite the weather for it at the moment, or perhaps a golden draw string purse?I adored the cream shell bag with the gold letter V on it and the lepard purse, which is your favourite?

Look at these chic earrings and pins enough to make any girls heart skip a beat.

Just had to end, with this sweet vintage gal, dressed in one of this season hottest colours, pumpkin!What a doll! Sx

        The Mystery Of Laurens Latest Squeeze/Purse 

   
The mystery of Laurens handbag beginith! Follow me lovely ladies as I delve deep within the roomy depths of Laurens toffee clutch! What's that I spy, Item one, a bublegum pink lipstick,pink is the colour of love, romance and relaxation interesting.Moving swiftly on, Oh I do sooo enjoy a good rummage! Ah what's this? A pearl brooch, hmmm it has a vintage feel, perhaps she is a classic girl with a yearing to return to a more romantic period in time, a time of horsedrawn carriages and swash buckling highwaymen, a time when men threw down their opulent velvet capes in muddy ditches so women could step lighltly across them without getting their pretty little shoes dirty. Another vintage inspired item this time a diamond shaped tin with a 1930 glamorous starlet, lip balm perhaps? This girl takes care of her lips and yearns for the glamour and feminity of a bygone era, I'm guessing she is also in a long term relationship and does alot of kissing !!!Not sure if that's a red bow brooch, or a hair pin, either way this girl likes to dress sweetly, and is a real lady, I feel sure Maria Conifer would approve!Is that a shark bottle opener I spy and a notepad and pen, along with a mobile, so we have a practical girl prepared for any event social or otherwise! Is that two more lipstick I spy she must have the dreaded affliction, spreading rapidly amongst Fashionistas and beauty bloggers, fear of lipstick shortage and shrinkage, hence the copious quantites of lippys I have found in her bag!What do you think gals, am I good? Or am I way off the mark with Laurens handbag analysis! Got to applaud the girls bravery though, in baring her handbag for all to see! Well done Lauren! Visit Laurens blog today and her guest blogger @ http://laurensloves.blogspot.com/  

Sharon  xx             Fashion dilemma that needs solving in the future? Post me your questions to sharonstyle@fsmail.net and you might get selected and feature here!                                

Dear Diary Event, Day 4 ~ Bluebird Love ~

My Bluebird Diary is full of wisdom

so when Sharon asked me to be a guest blogger for her this week

I went straight to it's pages

My Diary reminded me that we all need to take time

out of our busy schedules

for the things that matter most in our lives

You do Matter

so please take some extra time for your health

{remember to book your cervical smear test}

Taking time = Self Respect

Self Respect makes you beautiful at any age

Sending lots of Bluebird Love your way!

xoxoxoxxo 

Thanks Sharon and Lauren

you girls really are the best!
