80'S Vibe!


Our next Vintage Adventure will be on 30th June at Haigh Hall Vintage Fair! We are really looking forward to this one as the setting is beautiful and it's just the perfect place for a vintage fair! The building dates back from the 1850's and was previously the home of The Earl of Crawford and Balcarres! It creates such a great atmosphere and day out!




Our featured product this week was going to be this fabulous vintage umbrella (below) in peaches and pinks as we love it so, but it's sold already! Phew!




 So instead we have gone for a mix of items to show our love of the 80's!! In the photo below we feature one of our favourite dresses on Retro Queen! The '80's Mixed Blue Shirt Dress' is definitely a Stand out and Be Loud look! Works great dressed up or down for a super retro and unique summer look! The classic 80's court shoe's are a great addition to your wardrobe! A neutral colour but with a bit of cheeky gold detail! The stripy red dress is a cool look this summer, it's a really light weight dress so not only will you look cool but feel it too! The button detail on the neck is lovely too! Would look great with some long gold necklaces and bangles! And now for the awesome 80's Bomber Jacket! We looooooove this so much! What a statement look! Add a pair of skinny jeans, boots and shades and your on to a winner! I guarantee you no one is going to be wearing what you're wearing! This jacket does come with a caution: Contains large shoulders pads......requires large amount of confidence to pull off! Heh heh! You can find all these items in our 'Vintage Box'!



 Now for our song of the week! It has to be an 80's one of course! We have picked one of our favourite songs, and one we just can't help singing along too! Its 'Sweet Dreams' by the Eurythmics. Click on the link below, and fall into sweet dreams!

Retro Summer!!


Our latest vintage adventure was @ The Kenyon Hall Farm Vintage Fair on the 2nd June! We were in a really cool barn that had hay as walls! Not good if you have hay fever though but otherwise cool! We sold some lovely vintage pieces including this fab purple summer dress! And our vintage 1935 type writer was a big hit too! So many people saying how they used to have one and having a little type! Nostalgia! 


 We had a bit of cheeky candy floss too! Couldnt resist!


 The featured product this week @ Retro Queen is this fabulously coloured 80's Maxi Dress (below)! It just gives you that holiday feeling and is so feminine yet comfy! It's a real classic vintage piece for your wardrobe that you can bring out every summer and look amazing in! Add some easy gladiators or go high with wedges, head band and bangles and you're a Retro Summer Goddess! Find this fab maxi dress in our Vintage box @ www.retroqueen.co.uk!



Our song of the week and one that goes perfectly with our featured product is 'Summer Breeze' by the Isley Brothers. The weather has been spot on and we are totally feeling the vibe of this song! Click on the link below, sit back and reeeelax!!
