How is style (It's here!!)

Hat: Dorothy Perkins, Top (underneath): Next, Dress: Beyond Retro, Tights: Asianicandy, Shoes: Oxfam


 I'm as surprised as you are. I actually got round to do doing one. Crazy right? After my ever so loooong rant yesterday about being able to take pics of...stuff I actually decided to buckle up and get on with it.
Anyways, today's how is style is based on a pic of Alexa Chung on MSN. It's really pretty and Asian and would do well for winter or spring

P.S. Not sure what I'm doing with my hair in pic 2...

See you soon my lovelies xx

Review of a vintage obsession

Jeez. I'm burning through all the reviews I've planned. I really want to do a how is style but I can only do it at the weekends because it's getting too dark out to do it after school. I guess I can try to do it inside but there isn't a lot of lighting in my house. Bum. I'll get one done. No worries. On with le review!

First impressions: Quite small  and what I'd call 'proper vintage'. As in loads of 50's dresses and piles of mink. I loved the interior as It was very downton abbey-esque. Lots of Victorian wallpaper and one vintage style mirror

Clothes: I'd probably say the dresses are for more 25+ as none of the dresses were vaguely near a tiny size 6. (Not saying if you're over 25 your fat. Just saying you're not a short vaguely sort of doing that growing into woman thing size. That.) Loads of floral and many kinds of textures. I LOVED the accessories. ACCESSORIES!!! *cue animal drooling* It was all so pretty!!

Staff: There didn't need to be many staff there as the shop was teensy. Really nice though and were helpful and pretty cool.

?/10: 6/10 they didn't'
have my size :(

Review of A new shop

Yes that's actually what its called. (even though I know it's DEFO not new. Watevs*)
On with the review:

First impressions: EEK. I was a tad intimidated by the shop as it wasn't totally my style. There were lots of spikes and studs and was what i would call very 'american vintage'. I liked the walls as they were covered in writing in RAIIIINBOW colours which I contributed to with a range of smilies, tiny fish and scribbles of my name (just a heads-up: if you 'Maddy' written in shades of pink, its le moi)

Clothing: As I said, very American vintage. There was a lot of tattered denim and metal stuff so I'd say it was 'urban' (not. like. me) The stock was good and it was not stupidly placed so you couldn't get there :)

Staff: Quite nice. they were mostly talking to each other which was better than other shops were you could practically see the awkwardness between them.

?/10 : 7/10 Good but not my style


BTW: ITS MY BIRTHDAY IN 8 DAYS!!!! OMG*(&^%!

See you soon my lovelies xx
