My Vintage Feature

Hey everyone! I hope that you're all well and good and up for reading about something fabulous! As you all know fashionismyh2o is a little bit crazy about finding new and exciting places to shop and today I have a gorgeous site to feature that I'd love for you all to check out! http://www.myvintage.co.uk/ is an absolutely fabulous vintage website which is just loaded with gorgeous goodies that would be the perfect  treasure to add to any wardrobe! Run by the lovely Emma who you can find here on twitter, myvintage is the place to go if you're on the hunt for something beautiful and most importantly unique!

I'm super pleased to tell you that I've been having a browse around myvintage (ultimate torture having to resist snapping loads up) and I've compiled for you a list of my favourites which I've got for you here ... let the drooling commence ;) 

Firstly I've chosen this beautiful floral dress which in my eyes is the perfect retro summer frock! The colour is just the prettiest pale green and the floral patterning is uber cute. Perfect for hot days teamed with a cute sandal or a nude pump for an evening drinks look with a vintage twist. The halterneck shape makes this the perfect dress for all you pear-shaped lovelies but honestly it's so cute I think it might just tempt me too!
Myvintage £34.00

Next up on my Top Picks is this super elegant black dress. The shape of this beauty is just perrrfect - imagine how flattering it would be! Then you have the detail on the dress which keeps it from being a boring black dress and turns it into the perfect LBD to have in your wardrobe! This is definitely a versatile piece - formal enough for a wedding, cocktail party or posh drinks but then casual enough to team with some cute flats for a perfect summer shopping outfit.

Myvintage £42.00

Then we have this beautiful deep burgundy dress which I had to add to this list! I'm actually in love with the rich wine-like colour and I feel it'd flatter practically every skin-tone. The fabric is lovely and light and the length and cut of the dress make it a super flattering piece. On top of this the delicate gold detailing adds a perfect twist to the material and turns it into a showstopper. Again this is a piece that could take you from the side walk to the ballroom - gorgeous!

Myvintage £26.00

I literally squeeled when I saw this bag! I sat there for about 10 minutes saying to myself 'I'm sure this looks like a Birkin' it's classic, gorgeous and just looook at the material - mhmm! This baby would finish off any outfit to perfection and add a gorgeous vintage twist. 

Myvintage £38.00

Lastly we have this fairy-tale piece! Truly stunning it glitters like a mermaids tail and I for one would love to go for a swim (or you know... walk) in this! It seems the kind of skirt that would make you feel like a princess in the middle of the most mundane suburb and that is never a bad thing!

Myvintage £24.00

So there we are lovelies! Please head over to myvintage and check out their gorgeous stock and check back here as I'm thrilled to say  I'll be torturing myself all over again next month and featuring Augusts favourites ;)

OOTD Vintage Print

Hey beauties - woah what a gorgeous day we're having here in England! (Definitely feels alien writing that sentance) currently I'm sitting out in the garden with the family with my legs in the sun and my head in the shade - something tells me I'm about to be rocking a whole new type of two tone colour blocking ;).

Anyway, whilst im still relatively normal looking I have a new OOTD to show you all curtesy of a great shopping trip with the awesome boyfriend yesterday. I picked up a few bits and bobs (and got thouroughly spoiled <3) and one of the items I purchased was this :

 I absolutely had to get this dress when I saw it the vintage print reminded me of Gwen Stefani's infamous Tea-Dress in the 'Don't Speak' Video which I've always adored and so I just had to snap it up, especially because it was a bargain at just £24.99 from Republic!

My shoes are from Debenhams and my jewellery as always is curtesy of the other half <3

Hope you like lovelies! Enjoy your Sunday!

Friday Focus : Vintage Print

Vintage inspired printed clothes seem to be all over the place at the moment and I actually couldn't be happier. I think a beautiful printed dress, skirt or even top can be used in so many different ways within your wardrobe and give you so many options to work with. I've had a little browse this morning (dangerous for someone trying to avoid shopping - this blog is like masochism) and come up with some pretty gems from the high-street to show you all. 

Here we are: 

Firstly this skirt is absolutely divine - the colour is classic yet interesting and it would look amazing paired with anything from a simple vest top tucked in to an ornate or sheer blouse.
Topshop £32.00

This adorable dress puts a new spin on Vintage print with a gorgeous quirky pattern - also the super flattering silhouette would work on most if not all figures - win win

Topshop £36.00

These gorgeous shorts give a modern day twist to traditional vintage floral. Perfect with tanned pins in the summer or over some pretty tights in the cold.

Miss Selfridge £28.00

This classy beauty can be dressed up or down - imagine it with patent T-bar heels -whimpers- and would carry you through from season to season seamlessly. Gorgeous.
Dorothy Perkins £32.00

Finally we have a rather Carrie Bradshaw esque dress that just screams summer cocktails to me
Dorothy Perkins £38.00

In my own wardrobe I'm lucky enough to have many many vintage inspired printed items - I think I'm quite an addict ha-ha one of my personal favourites is this dress from New Look that I've had about a year now:

 I love the print and how easily it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I also love the colour and the fact it makes me feel a bit like a doll ha-ha. 

Additionally as I'm such a vintage print addict I've come to the point where my wardrobe is slightly over-run so I'll be selling a few on E-bay over the next few months, there's a couple on at the moment and more will follow. Feel free to have a browse : http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/sarahmstyle2011 + there is a perma-link to my ebay on the side of my blog :).

What do you ladies think of vintage prints? Should we all be embracing their beauty or is it time to condemn them to the past?
