Sandra's photos have an ethereal, dream-like but fun and playful quality, making us think of Spring already...*sigh*....

Lunch time treats //

Queued amongst some angry female shoppers to buy myself a tiny treat. So cute and such a lush colour!



Brian's Winter Wonderland

So from the 11th - 14th of November Brian opened up as a fully fledged 'Pop up' shop at Maiden.

The basement was slightly wrecked, so we had to paint it white (8 times) first.



Which invlolved a ot of gin drinking along the way...



Then we started to set up. We got the lovely Holly Cameron to design and paint us a mural:



Then we started to put everything together, which took 5 days!! As well as vintage clothing, we had jewelery from Dorris Does, Homewares from Leonardo da Vintage and Christmas Cards hand made for the shop.





We also had to create a window display. Carly hand-made 20 pom poms which we strung from the ledge with fairy lights and snow to create a Winter Wonderland window!



We had a fabulous launch party, and all our friends and fellow vintage lovers came down to support us.

Watch this space for Yes Brian, hopefully coming to you full time from Camden market next year!

Dinky Vintage








I went to Brighton this weekend and found the most adorable vintage shop I've ever seen! Dinky Vintage on Sydney Street in the North Laines area is a vintage childrenswear shop that's full of amazing pieces from Victorian Christening gowns, to 70s Osh Kosh dungarees. They also stock amazing retro toys, children's furnishings and accessories. The owner, Grace (such a sweet girl!) told me that each piece is handpicked and mostly sourced on the frequent trips she makes to America to visit family. If you're in the area, I couldn't recommend a visit more!
