Bromley Vintage Fair

So, turns out that a day out shopping can turn into quite the project. Went back to the vintage shop in Greenwich, and basically got offered a role in the upcoming vintage fair, taking place (hopefully) in Bromley's Churchill Theatre. Not too sure how it happened to be honest, one moment I was talking to a shop owner, next moment I was promising away the next months wages and time. Anywho, so yeah. The plan is...I don't even know. If anyone has any tips of running a vintage fair - ie, where to get good quality, low priced items from, or even publicity ideas - they are more than welcome. Reckon I'll be raiding through my mums old clothes soon!

One of the best reads in a while, so worth buying. Personally, I only discovered this on a random market stall in Camden, for £3, as I was intrigued by the cover art. I know the old cliche - never judge a book by it's cover - but I couldn't help it. And it all worked out rather swell in any case. I'm sure you could find it on amazon, or perhaps in Waterstones? Anywho, read it. It paints quite the diverse picture of life in 1950's Hollywood. I'd love to hear what you think of it also! http://meganabbott.com/DieaLittle.htm

Anyone ever considered just how superior the 1950's were to the present day?

Greenwich








Yesterday my friend and I went to Greenwich, as some of the vintage shops there are actually beautiful. For example, the blue dress I am wearing was a recent purchase, from a shop named Retrobates Vintage a the Beehive (http://www.umiandco.com/). Such an amazing shop - half sells vinyl's and cd's (I found a Fleetwood Mac Tango in the Night vinyl for only £6!) and the other half sells vintage clothing and accessories. This blue dress was £30, and I am obsessed with it, one of the best buys of the year so far.

Hello!

I'm Riannon Dodd, from Bromley - UK.
I decided to make this blog to express more of a personal day-to-day record of my life, as tumblr is more about your material likes and followers recently.
I'll most probably be using this blog to document fashion, and just my life and thoughts in general.
