Vintage Shopping in Manchester

Maggie — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 23:15:52 +0000

I spent today shopping in Manchester – I needed to have a day to myself as it has been a horrible couple of weeks!

I haven’t been shopping in Manchester for awhile so spent a long time wandering around – I eventually ventured towards Rockers on Oldham Street as I wanted to have a look at their stock of dresses by Vivien of Holloway.

On the way back, I popped into Thunder Egg (also on Oldham Street) – am officially in love with this shop! I can see myself spending lots of money there in the future (especially around birthdays and Christmas)!

Thunder Egg had a great selection of tops and dresses by the likes of Yumi and Traffic People but I’m in love with this Russian Doll pattern dress by Get Cutie (so far, I’ve seen it in teal and black)!

Which one to buy? Both? x.

Retro Directory

I’ve taken all of the websites that I’ve bookmarked as interesting over the years and created a directory of all things retro!

This Retro Directory contains a large number of links to lots of different 1940′s and 1950′s focused sites including retro fashion, retro accessories and a few Burlesque sites!

I hope you find it useful!

This is the best thing in my kitchen (apart from me of course!) – the KitchenAid Artisan mixer available at John Lewis!

Blue Polka Dot Dress

I love this blue polka dot dress by French Connection (£50) – sadly it is out of stock at John Lewis (best store in the world!)

Mary Jane Cotton Apron

Every good girl deserves a nice apron! This is my most favourite apron that I own! It is the Mary Jane Cotton Apron from Ulster Weavers Home Fashions.

Change of mind (again!)

My friend at Gluji suggested a few changes – especially given my love for Cath Kidston designs! I hope you like my new site!

Final few touches needed!

Just the final few touches and then I’ll be happy!

I’ve decided to use a Cath Kidston pattern for the title of my blog! A selection of her designs are available for download from here: Cath Kidston Desktop Patterns

Had to post this picture of Yuki 7! I luurve Yuki 7!

Next step!

I’m liking my new design! It’s very simple! I think I can work with this and my man from Gluji is happy to make the little niggly changes I keep requesting! I think I’ll buy him a treat!

Next step…. I need to design a logo! x.
