Goodnight sweetheart.

I bought my first vintage finds yesterday, both of which were complete flukes. I've never really been a fan of vintage (yes I heard that gasp) mainly due to the questionable smell and even more questionable stains that most of the vintage items I've come across are sporting but also due to the price some people think they can charge for what is essentially someones old cast offs...
Anyway, there is a little dark- looking shop in Leeds (opposite the Hyde Park Pub if anyone from Leeds wants to know...) called The Story of O and I used to pass it at least twice everyday on my way to uni and now I live down the road from it and even though I was so curious to go in there I never did until yesterday. I am sooo glad I did! It was like stepping into a bygone era not just walking into a trashy second hand shop...and the vintage things they had in there were so pretty and delicate or just really interesting, like for example, a gorgeous vintage lace wedding dress next to some incredibly heavy metal arm bangles from god knows where. I will definitely be heading back there soon to see what else I can find...

So yeah, I wasn't really looking for anything when I came across this dress looking all innocent amongst the very ornate evening dresses. It is so so soft and delicate I'm almost too afraid to wear it. Partly because someone before me has roughed it up a bit so some sewing is in order on my part, but nothing too major.

I also found an old prada bag with a cute little mirror attached inside...its a bit hideous but I like it, unfortunately it is quite small so maybe using it for a makeup bag will work better...I'll post about it soon anyway...
