Vintage fair

This morning I really outdid myself with my procrastination and actually ended up at an antique/vintage fair at Alexandra Palace and it was absolutely wonderful. I went with my mum and it was full of little oddities, vintage jewellery, cameras, tableware, postcards and of course CLOTHES! I fell in love with a 60's chunky necklace but typically, it was £125 so i of course did not buy it. 

 I have to say i find it absolutely ridiculous some of the things people seem to pass for vintage these days, on one of the stalls a man was trying to sell Harajuku perfume... um sorry babe but i can go down to superdrug and buy that? Absurd. 

 Anyway, I did make a purchase - I got a green patterned button up dress with shoulder pads and it was only £12... BARGAIN. My mum also bought a really pretty broach encrusted with semi-precious stones which was really lovely. I would have loved to buy a little leather shoulder bag because I love the vintage bags, but i had to refrain as my bag collection is currently filling my entire room.

 I'd better get revising, but here are some photographs i took, and there is a picture of my new dress...










I took the card for a few of the good stalls so here are a couple:
