Pretty In Pink!


God I love a bank holiday weekend! Hope you all had a good one! Here's my 'Outfit Of The Day' from bank holiday Monday, wearing my new vintage skirt which I am totally in love with and just had to share!


Sporting my favourite vintage jumper I got this spring! It's really light weight so great for spring into summer, and the colour is perfect to match up all the pastel colours I'm loving at the moment.


I picked up this gorgeous vintage skirt at the weekend from Libra's Closet in Afflecks Palace, Manchester. It just couldn't be left on the hanger any more! Heh Heh I love skirts & dresses with pockets and the pattern is so lovely! It's got an elasticated waist band too which makes it super easy to wear and style up! Winner! I'm wearing a jade bangle as well, that just fits in nicely with my pastel tones! 


My classic soft pink brogues! How glad I am that I snapped these up at a vintage fair earlier in the year! Vintage look, fab colour and so comfy! What better way to round off an outfit!? 



Pretty in pinks! We are loving these colour combos! Perfect for summer! All these fab vintage treasures are in our Vintage Box right now! Get something unique and retro up your wardrobe this summer!



Hope to see you all at our next vintage adventure! Fingers crossed for the weather! 
I must confess, I'm a total ABBA fan! I just can't help myself! Heh Heh So here's one of my favourites!

Summer Vintage!


 We had a cracking day @ The Vintage and Retro Craft Fair at Haigh Hall on Sunday! There was oodles of vintage, which I must say is very hard to resist when doing these fairs (and usually I don't manage to)! Heh Heh Glorious cupcakes paired with great live music made it a fab event! Here's a few photos of the day!



Our pop up boutique for the fair! Filled with summer vintage, beads galore and a big grin! ;-)


And randomly we had a wig trying on session! Apparently I really suit this?!? Ha ha I love the bow though!


And this is what I managed not to resist! A fab vintage travel bag, that will be perfect for work and holidays! I love the colour too and it was a bargain at just a fiver! Spot on! 




We are in love with this bright retro 'pop' outfit, all now available to buy in our Vintage Box! The colours just work so well together but can also be mixed and matched up with the rest of your wardrobe! The patch skirt would look great with just a white T-shirt and some denim! The crop jumper is bang on trend for summer too, just add a classic skater skirt or high-waisted shorts for a fab retro summer look! Use the necklace to add a shot of hot pink to any outfit and enjoy mix and matching ladies! 




Our next vintage venture will be at The Spirit of Salford Weekender in The Vintage Market! A date for your diary's!

We are going back to the early 90's for our retro song of the week (making me feel very old indeed!) for a classic summer hit that pretty much is guaranteed to please! Enjoy!

Retro Fresh!

Roll on a sunny weekend! We have oodles of new vintage treasures now in our Vintage Box! Here's a few of our favourites!



 Blaze away this summer in this gorgeous retro dress! This is one of our favourite new arrivals at Retro Queen B, and one I'm very tempted to keep for so many reasons! Its got a retro hippy vibe which just screams 'festival', the colours are on fire and your sure to make a statement where ever you wear it! It's also one of those amazing dresses that doesn't need ironing! Spot on! Size: 12-14 & £12:99.



Pastel Perfection has arrived! We featured this awesome bag in our last blog post 'Jelly Love' and its now landed in our Vintage Box ready to be snapped up by a pastel loving gal! It's retro, quirky and the perfect summer bag! Only £8:99 too! 

We are back on the Vintage Adventure band wagon and are popping up @ The Vintage & Retro Fair at Haigh Hall this sunday! It's got a Swinging 60's theme and will be filled to the brim with amazing vintage, retro crafts, handmade cakes and chocolate, live music and retro cars! Click on the link for more info! 


We're feeling the swinging 60's vibe and have chosen a retro tune accordingly! Peace out!

Jelly Love


Well we have all finished with our Re-Fresh of Retro Queen Boutique! Its updated with new photos, buttons, and most importantly with new vintage treasures! We have lots more being uploaded too over the next week so keep posted! 




 I recently bought some 'Jellies', which I had deliberated over for a while now but I finally bought a pair and loved them! I have very fond memories of wearing them as a child, the feel, the look and sound of them as you walked and didn't want to ruin that (plus feel like a little girl) but now as an adult I am officially a Jelly addict! I love them even more now and for the same reasons! I want more heeled ones and flats, including about 6 different colours! For my first pair I went for clear glittered ones as I felt they would work well with pretty much any outfit! But I am lusting after the pastel pink ones or as I like to call them 'Strawberry milkshake'! Heres my first outfit I wore with my Jellies, one of my favourite vintage dresses and very summery, but they also looked fab with brightly coloured tights for a retro 60's feel! 


The gorgeous white/pastel bag will be available to buy in our Vintage Box very soon! I couldn't resist using it for the photo shoot as it worked so well with this outfit! It's such a funky bag and screams 80's! Perfect for summer! 


We love the retro pop vibe of 'Marina And The Diamonds'! Click the link below and listen to one of our favourite songs off the album 'The Family Jewels'! Prepare to dance where you are!
