Hollyoaks Stars, Freebies Galore and Thousands of Students!

We've just returned from a busy, busy weekend at UCAS Students Live, a two day exhibition of all things studenty at London Olympia. We were in the fashion area (of course) alongside fabulous jewellery brand Regal Rose, the student favourite One Piece, new fashion social media site TheMuse.tv and cute fashion brand Mela Loves London.

We met loads of great people, most of whom were off to start their uni adventure in a couple of weeks and were very excited about it. They were stocking up on new term fashion essentials- it was all about the cost knits and quirky jewellery.

We were running a jewellery lucky dip promotion, these lucky ladies each got a surprise piece of free jewellery when they signed up for our mailing list. Unsurprisingly this proved very popular, so we'll definitely be bringing it back for Clothes Show Live 2012!

We also had a couple of well known customers, namely Tom Scurr and David Atkins, who play Barney and Rob in Hollyoaks. They snapped up a couple of pairs of matching flip up sunglasses. Aww, don't they look cute!

Fancy a piece of the action? We'll be traveling across the UK in the next few weeks for freshers fairs and vintage fairs galore. You can find out where we're headed here.

A Summer of Adventures

Giant bucket and spade at Beach Break Live
With the nights drawing in and our thoughts turning to freshers fairs and cosy autumnal clothing, I thought I would take a few minutes to reflect on all the fun we've had this summer. We've certainly got about a bit! We kicked off our summer at Beach Break Festival in the beautiful Pembrey Country Park in South Wales. Unfortunately the weather didn't seem to get the message that summer had arrived and it was wet, windy and chilly! But the crowd of post exam happy students didn't let that bother them and it was a really fun weekend. Plus, as someone who has a fascination with big versions of small things (or maxitures, as I like to call them), I loved this giant bucket and spade!

Meeting a new friend on our summer photoshoot

We also had a fun summer photoshoot with our lovely model Alex, we pulled out all the stops to create a cute and girly, pastel themed collection and we made a furry friend along the way. A lovely day out!

Wilderness Festival was a real gem of a festival, a relaxing and exciting weekend, it's become one of my new favourite festivals. You could go swimming in the lake, use a wood fired hot tub, learn how to do all kinds of crafts and take part in a huge Bugsy Malone splurge fight - what more could you want from a weekend?! Plus, the scenery was a delight.

V Festival in Chelmsford was a scorcher of a weekend, we spent it with our pals from The Vintage Fair, and being conveniently located opposite the main stage we managed to take in all the music, including highlights from the Stone Roses, The Killers, Tom Jones and Madness.

The sunnies went down a treat at the hottest event we've ever attended, literally!

Our last festival outing of the summer was at The Big Feastival, a new festival taking place at Alex James' cotswolds farm. With the emphasis firmly on good food, we were in our element. We even went to a cheese and beer tasting event and met the cheesemaker himself! It was a fun weekend, with loads of kids having hay fights and making giant bubbles, and lots of celebrities milling about. We saw Jamie Oliver ambling about and Jules Oliver had a good browse around the vintage area, as did Pearl Lowe, Gaz Coombes and Graham Coxon. Which was nice for the britpop loving teenager within me!

Another great maxiture!

So now it's time for us to leave the summer behind us, it's been a blast, but we're looking forward to getting out all the autumn stock and hitting the road again for a new season of vintage events. We're kicking things off later this week at Student Live, in Kensington Olympia. Would love to see you on our travels, you can always see where we're headed next by checking our event page. See you soon!
