Vintage Vibe!

What a vintage filled day at The Christmas Haigh Hall Vintage Fair last Sunday! It really got me feeling the Christmas vibe with all the grand decorations and open log fire! Not to mention the mulled wine and the amazing stalls!

This really is one of the best vintage fairs to go to! The setting is perfect and with live entertainment in the form of Bexi owen and Lane Paul Stewart, your £1 entry fee is well spent! Theres the perfect mix of superb vintage, curios, retro inspired crafts and tasty homemade treats to make it an utter pleasure to mooch around the 2 floors of stalls and shop until your heart is content! The fair is organised by Vibrant Vintage who do a fabulous job and really make the event special! Good news too....there will be 5 dates booked for next year so keep posted to find out when the next Haigh Hall fair is! 

On our next vintage travels we will be in Ramsbottom for the Christmas 'Ramsbottom Needs Vintage' fair on the 1st Dec! With over 20 stalls going there will also be live entertainment, vintage fashion shows, make overs, afternoon tea and prizes for 'Best dressed Girl and Guy'! This fair has a great atmosphere and with it being right in the heart of Ramsbottom with the Christmas street market on too, its set up to be a fab retro filled day!

I absolutely love Christmas so please don't cringe too much at my retro song of the week choice! I can't help it! Heh heh. I also do have a soft spot for Rosemary Clooney...and want it to snow. So here's ' Let It Snow' sung by Rosemary Clooney. Enjoy!

My Style

Phew! What a few weeks! unfortunately I've been a bit on the poorly side, missed my Halloween party and have not been on any vintage adventures! But we did get featured in The 'My Style' section of The Bolton News and Bury Times last Saturday! Woo Hoo! And have a fabulous mix and match outfit to share with you! 

Check us out in the paper! We were luckily enough to get featured in The My Style section showing our Mix and Match vintage ethos to its best! We love mix and matching vintage with modern clothing for a really unique look!

•  The fabulous 70's dress is straight from our Boutique and one I love! With its bold print and bright yellow buttons it's a real statement piece great for summer and autumn! 
• The jacket is modern and a bargain which I picked up at a charity shop a few years back! It works with so many outfits modern and vintage which is why I like it! 
• The gorgeous green velvet bag is also a bargain piece I picked up at a vintage fair this year, although it isn't vintage just vintage inspired! The gold and deep green work so well together and I love the chain strap!
•  The knee-high boots are my favourite boots I own, the colour, laces and the heel...fab! I got these last year from Dune, and luckily enough in the sale! They should have been £120, but I snapped them up at £45! Yay! 
• Tights/leggings and jewellery are a great way of tying an outfit together, keeping colour coordinated and adding a shot of contrasting colour to your outfit! I chose dark green tights to match the green theme and added a bright orange ring for a bit of contrast!
•  Do any of you love mix and matching outfits? What is your style ethos? Get in touch and share your unique style with us! Drop us an email @ retroqueen@hotmail.co.uk or get in touch via Facebook or Twitter under 'RetroQueenB'.

Our next vintage adventure will be at the amazing Haigh Hall this Sunday! This really is a great fair, with its fabulous mix of vintage, retro handmade and food stalls and its truly vintage setting its a must! We have some fab new vintage treasures coming with us too! With new jewellery and party clothes! So pop along and treat yourself!
