Spring is a Comin...

We have been having the best weather these days...its getting me super excited for Spring!!!!! and i can finally pull out all the super bright pieces in my wardrobe..yay!!!!



I had been on the hunt for a perfect pair of suspenders or braces whichever term u prefer!!! and every time i went the sales lady would tell me ohhh u just missed out on the cutest pair or..sorry we sold out yesterday!!! grrr.... but then after finding these beauties i think they were just waiting for me!!!! i did want a black pair and will prob still hunt for a black pair too but for now these are perfect for spring pastel colours!!!!! so fresh and cheerful...







I finally had my hair done after what feels like a century!!!! but am dying for my fringe to grow out properly...im getting impatient!!!!!! i tried to do pin curls the other day and because my fringe is so horrid it didnt turn out like id hoped.....come on...grow haha... have you ever been successful doing pin curls??? do u have any tips for me???

I have a fab weekend planned catching up with my sister to do a photoshoot and doing lots of thrifting for the shop next week sorry i didnt get around to doing an upload i honestly ran out of time in my week...which just means extra stuff next week...Hooray!!!

Stallcart Offer....

Last week i was approached by Stallcart as they had noticed i had written a post on my own website which was created through them and made an amazing offer to me.. (well to my amazing readers)

This blog started off as a way to show my love of Vintage fashion and just a general space to be creative and it has snowballed into so much more than i had ever hoped for with the opening of my online shop i had tried etsy but didnt feel like it was working for me and i wanted something a little more me, and now it really is the start of something that i can see myself doing for a long time and im excited for all the possibilities. (my point is...if your wondering) is that if you have had a niggling in the back of your mind to either start selling clothes or your own crafts or generally anything but didnt know where or how to go about it, here is a great way to start!!!!

Stallcart are offering The Vintage Valley readers (only)!! a brand spanking new website without the setup fee..which is pretty darn tootin amazing!!!!

You can find the offer HERE and if you have any questions you can flick me an email...or email stallcart direct..

Stop thinking about it and give it a go... and if you do..send me an email with your link so i can check your site out!!!!

Sunflowers...

I spent most of my night last night throwing things around my closet trying to get some sort of an outfit organised for Sat night!!!! im going to a fabulous fashion show with this gorgeous girl her jewellery is being used for one of the designers and i couldnt be more excited for her!!!!



Im positive you will all remember this dress...kind of unforgettable!!! i bought it from Lucy In Disguise and it was instant love... i havent had the opportuinty to wear it much as i try and keep it for the more fabulous outings (and the fact that i wasnt happy with the shoe choices to match)





Until i found these cuties!!!!! and i love a good clash of colour :) they are a teensy bit small (they were the last ones) and im squishing my toes in but its a pain that i will happilly bear :) im in love with the bows!!!!

Im also wearing another one of my Grandmothers necklaces..sunflowers (sigh)!!! this outfit is basically perfect for summer and im ignoring the fact its winter right now!!!!! and it was raining when i took these shots (in the morning...can u tell my eyes look so tired) i desperately want summer back!!!!

Also i wanted to tell you all a little secret....because i love you all so much i never want to keep info from you haha!!!! but if you are in need of a website or are looking into starting one!!!! this is your man Neil from Stallcart helped me start my website The Vintage Valley and i couldnt be more happier with it..it's completely hands on and he is so on the ball with helping me organise and understand the program and i might add its so easy to use!!!!...so please check him out you will never look back i promise you.

So i hope you all have a big fun filled weekend planned...im having lunch with my sis and mum today and then the fashion show on Sat!!! cant wait...

Brightside of the road...

We had the most glorious weekend, the sun was out and i promise you everyone seemed so much happier...nothing like a bit of warmth to cheer everyone up!! i got to pull out my white white legs and wear some cute skirts...





i spent the whole day Saturday getting lost in a few thrift shops and attempting to do some victory rolls in my hair i eventually gave up..i think my hair is way too long to pull it off...and then spent the rest of the day drinking coffee with my fav girl Jazz and her bulldog Boris..he is such a gorgeous little dog he cracks me up everytime!! i cant wait to get my little Boston Terrier and they can be best friends..



I love this vintage necklace my grandma gave me on Sunday i went and visited her after a huge lunch date with my friend Peta i promise the best burger and strawberry milkshake ive had in yonks.... anyway... its so cute everytime i visit her she sits me down with a cup of tea and she shows me all her vintage jewellery and tells me exactly where she bought them and the era they are from.. i love it she has the most AMAZING pieces...i swear my whole family has a collecting addiction!!!





Can you believe i found these black and white Brogues while thrifting!!!! i know crazy.... i was so stunned someone passed these on whithout a dent or scratch on them they were practically not worn at all...and in my size too!!!! just meant to be i say....

Im sorry i dont have a shop update today i had planned to do it but i found a few more items i wanted to add and thought id rather do it all together on Wednesday...so keep an eye out for them...there are some super cute pieces up for purchase!!!!

Here's to a brand new week...so much to do..and lots of exciting projects starting woot woot!!!

Happy Monday XX

Bows and Birds

This week so far has been a blur of rainy days early mornings and lots of chocolate... i hate waking up when its freezing outside and having to stumble around in front of the heater to get ready plus the traffic is horrific!!!! So its indoor photos for a few days because my poor camera wont fair too well in the rain..im so jealous most of you are having hot weather!!! ahhh i miss it so....

I have been on the hunt for the perfect Bicycle (for ages now) and i cant find any vintage ones that have taken my fancy and are in rideable condition..so i think i may have to buy a new vintage inspired bike that i can get im get online i think ive found one.. it is so sweet..and a perfect cherry red colour!!!! What do u think??? im hoping i will have the skills to put a few of the pieces together once it arrives (like the front wheel)...have to put my tool belt on mayb...haha!!!! or...get a professional to do it...

I have also bid on a brand new white Diana F+ woohoo...i mean its not like i dont need another one but im so in love with Lomo photography at the moment!!!! and plus...its white!!!

This dress is one of my fav's in my closet though i try not to play favourites with my dresses they are all my favourites...(they get a little jealous sometimes) i found it for $2 squished in between some terrible faux fur jackets while thrifting..it has the most adorable bird pattern and is multi seasonal cool enough for summer and warm enough for Winter...

Im looking out the window right now and its pretty close to hail....(shudder) its so nice being inside with a steaming cup of Green Tea though....i think im going to read a bit of Dorian Grey and finish watching The Young Victoria...
