Gifting one of our lucky followers

 I've been admiring these retro Casio watches from afar, I say from afar as I've been reluctant to make a purchase due to extortionate prices.  So you can imagine how delighted we were when we came across a much more friendly purchase price on one of our foreign thrifting adventures, I bought two for tiny wrists, and we bought a few more to sell as part of our collection coming soon on ASOS Marketplace.  

    

 

And as this is the month of gifting, with Christmas, my birthday (tomorrow) and celebrating the beginning of an exciting New Year for VJA, we thought we would give one of our retro digital Casio watches to one of our lovely followers.

OUR MUSE IN RED and BLACK.

Last weekend we had the pleasure of enlisting Celine Allano, photographer extraordinaire, she took some beautiful pictures for our collection on ASOS MARKETPLACE.  As I am usually the one who has the job of photographer, I was pleased to have a professional to show me how it should really be done. Celine gave me some great tips; hopefully now my pictures will come up to scratch.  The location was perfect, although the weather was beyond cold, so a big thank you to Celine and Jody, our muse.

MY CHRISTMAS WISH LIST...

Christmas is a time of giving, acts of selflessness and being thankful for the passing year. But with Christmas only a week away I thought I’d let you in on my Christmas wish list and hopefully act as hint to all who know me. Wishful thinking but Santa might just make my dreams come true.   Although some of the items on my list aren’t available as yet, I can wait for it to be a belated gift.

To all our followers..

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  xxx

MY NEW OBSESSION... TURBANS IN EVERY COLOUR!

We've been a bit lax blogging... apologises, been super busy with thrifting, photo-shoots galore for ASOS Marketplace and generally everything VJA. As you know i've been experimenting with headwear - in love with TURBANS and been trudging the streets of London and found a colour for every day of the week.  Some things are too good not to share so we've decided to add some to our collection on ASOS Marketplace; from plain to glam party ones. I might make everyday a bad hair day just to show mine off.

IN LOVE & stunning...

Love this, not sure what you would call it... a cross between a snood and a fur turban. Either way, its stunning but not sure how it would be received walking down my local high street, although it would be great for this bitter cold weather we are having.  Turbans are definitely going to be a must have for 2011 as they were all over the S/S11 catwalk.  I'm totally in love and experimenting with different head wear at the moment... watch this space for our turbans on Asos Marketplace.

POP SOCKS...

   loving socks with...

 

Ventured into UNIQLO for the first time ever today, my friend wanted to go in so i duly obliged.  I've never  really felt the need to take a look but i was pleasantly surprised... they had the most luxurious soft wool jumpers - felt like butter, could totally snuggle up in one in front of a warm fire! loved the many coloured puffa jackets, not really my thing but can appreciate them. Anyway, came upon a wall of socks ( i should have taken a picture) - a sublime array of colourful socks, all for the friendly purchase price of 4 pairs for £7.99. I'm  definitely going back for a more, and they'll certainly be making an appearance on our VINTAGE JUMBLE AFFAIR photo shoot!

Effortless Chic... Julia Sarr-Jamois

                                          

                           Couldn't help but post a pic of my friend Ramha and Julia Sarr-Jamois - D Magazine shoot

I've been meaning to post about Julia Sarr -Jamois...WONDERLAND magazine fashion editior, sometime model and walking style inspiration. Julia sarr-jamois has the kind of effortless chic i strive for, but just don't seem to manage due to my love of more is more! Her stylish simplicity and envious fro makes her a style inspiration in my book.

A VINTAGE WEEKEND...

Our weekends have been hijacked by photo shoots galore but finally i think we are getting the hang of it, although we aren't helping ourselves by starting shooting at 2pm as its getting dark super early now.... but you can imagine a combination of exquisite vintage, girls and the opportunity to try things on... well you can guess the rest! Anyway, its all good, maybe by 2012 we will have finished photographing every garment in our collection... only if my sister STOPS thrifting and buying, i think its now become her obsession! 

Otherwise super excited, ASOS Marketplace should be launching pretty soon, so you can be an owner of one.. two.. ten.. of our finest handpicked vintage and secondhand pieces.  but for now enjoy a sneak peak of just a few pics.  ♥
