My long and hard search for the perfect vintage tailors dummy has finally ended. Thank you, Gloucester Antiques Centre for my gorgeous Kennett and Lindsell mannequin from the 1920s.

Lucy in Disguise:

Check out the website launch for Lily Allen’s new vintage shop, Lucy in Disguise. The shop is set to open September 18th in Covent Garden, London and will not only carry gorgeous, hand-selected vintage pieces by the songster herself, but also will have a full beauty bar downstairs. Count me in for the store opening. Until then you can visit the Lucy in Disguise pop-up shop found in Selfridges.

Capes are one of my favourite trends for F/W 2010.

So simple and easy to wear, but so effortless and chic.

I cannot wait for this one I recently purchased by British designer, Tara Starlet to arrive in the post.

While strolling through Portobello Market, I stumbled upon my now favourite shop in London, Jane Bourvis. Tucked just behind busy Portobello Road lies this gem of a shop, filled with incredible vintage or one of a kind or up-cycled pieces from the Edwardian and Art Deco Era. Jane Bourvis, the shop owner and designer is so lovely and so passionate about each piece that she creates, finds, or re-works. This shop has antique lace, feminine fabrics, and stunningly handcrafted gowns from the 1900s bursting at this seams…this shop is my dream.

Sunday UpMarket

Sunday UpMarket :

Today I ventured out to the Sunday UpMarket in the East side of town to find some vintage pieces to begin my shop. Though it was packed with tourists, the market had great prices on vintage clothing, antiques, and local foods. Somehow I managed to breeze through all the crowds to find a few vintage dresses, shoes, and accessories, all in great condition. Of all the markets i’ve visited in the city so far, I found the UpMarket to be the most affordable and the “bang for your buck.”

This Sunday I ventured over to the Primrose Hill Vintage Fashion Fair at Cecil Sharp House. The stalls were filled with a variety of brilliant vintage clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry, and accessories dated all the way from the 1800s until the 1980s.

I splurged for a gorgeous off-white pair of leather oxfords from Rose Vintage (http://www.rosevintage.com). Rose Vintage also had a lovely collection of handbags and clutches, all in great vintage condition.

The Primrose Hill Fashion Fair carries on monthly, and I will be sure to attend again. Follow the fair at http://www.vintagefashionlondon.co.uk/ or on twitter at http://twitter.com/VintageLondon
