Birthday bash at the shop: Happy 1st Birthday!

Friday was a very exciting day as it marked the one year anniversary of the shop being opened! To celebrate, Emma was offering her loyal customers a discount all day and of course there was plenty of cake, cards and balloons!

 

Here's us celebrating on the day! (Harriet's headband is one of the very first things she ever bought from Emma!)

A massive thank you from Ems to everyone who's supported the shop throughout the last year! And if you haven't been yet why not? It's just seconds away from the bus and train stations in Redditch and we can guarantee you'll fall in love with it the second you walk in!

Prettiness in a stand: pop up shop

Yesterday Emma got the chance to take part in a pop up shop event at the Kingfisher Shopping Centre in Redditch so she took some of her coolest finds up the road from her little shop to the centre to show them off! The event was full of people selling all sorts of wares and hopefully will have brought vintage to a whole new collection of shoppers. Here's just a few snaps from the day!

Dancing the night away

Last night, Harriet and one of her best friends Rachael went on a night to Snobs in Birmingham. Rach runs a lovely little blog here all about her love of tea, vintage and the simple things in life! We had a fab time dancing the night away to some quality tunes and decided once we were dressed Harriet had accidentally taken inspiration from Olivia Newton-John at the end of Grease for her outfit! Rach was definitely rocking the Grecian goddess look. Here's a little peak at the outfits:

HARRIET:

Leather jacket - New Look / hairpins - from Emma's shop / statement necklace - Miss Selfridge / t-shirt - New Look / leggings - Topshop / shoes - New Look

RACH:

Feather headband - River Island / dress - Chelsea Girl at River Island / shoes - River Island / owl necklace -  Harriet's from Primark

Pretty finds from Primark

Primark is one of those places where you can normally pick up something every time you go, their range is so enormous there's usually always a piece or two which catches your eye. We're lucky in our town we have a fairly large store and it's one of the ones that doesn't get too messy so you don't feel you're trawling through a jumble sale to get to the clothes! On our last visit it was all about the accessories and we managed to pick up three gorgeous finds!

How beautiful is this bag? Harriet picked it up for just £12. At that price you can't really argue! It's big enough to use for work and fit all the bits and pieces you need on a daily basis in it and it has both short and long straps so you can wear it any way you like. And of course, it's so pretty with the studding, zips and chain strap detailing just adding to the look!



These shoes are so Emma! They suit her style so well and at just £14 they are the perfect bargain to team up with anything for a glamorous look. The colour is just perfect as we move in to spring - the season of the pastels - but the detailing on them makes turns them from pretty to really quite special!

How adorable are these slipper socks? They are so warm and cosy looking and the pink flower on the front is simply divine. They're just £3 and so comfy to wear! The perfect thing to pop on your feet while you wait for the warmer weather to arrive.
