not impressed.

'The Affordable Vintage Fair' returned to Liverpool on Saturday and I had high expectations as the previous times I have attended I've come home with bags filled with goodies. However this was not the case on this occasion. The room was so bare, there was half the amount of stalls that were at the last fair and I was disheartened to see that the cute, geordie, vintage-selling couple I had become accustomed to were not there. Crappy food stalls had replaced previously located jewelry stands and to be honest the quality of the items had declined, I wouldn't call them vintage chic but second-hand rags.

Despite the disappointment of the fair, I managed to pull myself together and headed to Liverpool One to see what the high-street had to offer. I never thought I'd see the day that i'd be resorting in mass produced garments over one-off vintage(ish) pieces - however my shopping trip proved a success! You may remember me saying a while ago that I wanted a pair of floral trousers, WELL, I found some:

Red Herring at Debenhams £22

Beautiful aren't they? I love the contrast of the black and the deep red of the roses, I feel like spring has bloomed on my legs. 

I was on a find-as-many-bargains-as-possible rampage when I got home - after that darling purchase - searching the internet far and wide for something even cuter and cheaper. I think I must have had floral pants on my mind because I ended up buying a pair of ditsy printed "hareem" (they were titled as this but the crotch sag is a mere 2 inches) from New Look! I know, New Look of all places, it's one of my least favourite high-street shops and apologies go out to fans of the shop, but I have to admit, occasionly I will have a browse online to see whether there's anything worthy of wearing. Sorry to blab on, where was I? These lovely pants, that i'm currently wearing due to their sheer comfiness, and that's not the only thing that persuaded me to buy them, THEY WERE ONLY £4!!!! (with silly postage/packaging the total did come to something like £7) now that's what I call a 'Bargain of a Century'. My wise words to you are: browse the web looking at shops you usually turn your nose up at, you may be surprised at what wonders you find.

New Look £4

Note to self: Upload the photos from the Diana Dias-Leão exhibition that I said i'd show you.
