More Yummy Clothes

Despite this awful weather, I got up early last Thursday and drove 50 odd miles to get to an auction which was being held in a very drafty and cold air hanger. Arriving at 10am I had a quick look around the lots to get to know what I wanted, and there were some fantastic pieces! Menswear and Womenswear from antique to vintage, from wedding dresses to hats and shoes. Was great to view all these gorgeous items.

So after sitting this frezzzzzzzing place for 6 hours I came back with a selection of hats -

Various evening gowns -

Lots of 60s and 70s garments -

a great rowing jacket, ideal for summer!

....and some lovely lace pieces from the 30s

So well worth the numb toes I think!

I am very excited about all these gorgeous clothes! They will be for sale soon on Becky Boo Vintage, but I have other commitments with some of the items before they will be availiable to purchase. Watch this space!

Let me know what you think.

As always
Much Love

How to Wear Your Vintage this Winter

So, I have had many of discussions with my friends that although they love the vintage clothes they are not sure how to wear them or even how they look on. Therefore I have spent today trying on some of the pieces that I have available to bring you this lovely slide show of how to wear them all. I must warn you though that I am no model and I do not like having my photos taken, so excuse the non-pro posing! Some of the garments I have layered up, but some I have just shown on their own but all photos gives you a good idea what these look like and what you can wear them with. All items are available to buy now from stores.ebay.co.uk/Becky-Boo-Vintage. The video includes some 70s influenced pieces, party wear and the odd classic, just a taster of what I have here and there is a lot more to buy from my store. But let me know your thoughts and hopefully with more practice the quality will get better, or I may even be able to rope in some of my friends to do the modeling! (hint hint)
As always,

What we can look forward to this SS11

So I've been doing a little research on what we can expect from the trends for this spring summer. I know it is still freezing outside and with the talk of snow on the way I thought about time we can start thinking what we want to wear this coming season to cheer ourselves up out of this gloom.

In vintage terms the 60s and 70s still look prominent on the catwalks with floaty skirts and dresses like these from Salvatore Ferragamos collection. With the added headscarves and waist belts these look sophisticated and ideal for those lazy summer days.






















Neon and bright colours are across the catwalks paying homage to the 60s. Especially from the Christopher Kane collection. The 60s influenced patterned fabric adds depth and detail to an otherwise plain looking outfit, and that fantastic colour will brighten anyones day!

 I love the argyle cardigans and jumpers, which are used across the collection. I have one very similar for sale in my store now! Check it out before it goes!

Skirts are going calf length, like this one from Fendi, but the maxis and minis are still there. Be sure to get these floaty in bright colours for a high fashion look.

 The Fendi show is also prominent with bright colours and a real 70s feel.

Also look out for strips in bright colours, such as these from Prada.

So, think bold, think bright and get in that 70s mood, because its all heading your way this Spring Summer.
I will be sourcing pieces for these trends and will give you updates on my finds and tips on how to wear them.

As always, keep checking my store as new things are added all the time!
