1/    My DIY attempts to arrange some of my jewellery and Polaroids in a frame... kinda shabby chic!

2/  Love my vintage Escada shoes but I've never actually worn it - its too big, so i actually use it as art and so it decorates my shelf.

3/ camera collection

4/ DIY choker

5/  Some of our vintage upcycled cut off denims coming to VJA store soon.

6/ My boyfriends mum is an absoutely amazing artist, just one of her pieces.

  7/ I'm actually in Orlando at the moment, these are some of the vintage pieces I've thrifted - I love array of colours I've been able to source, and the dress is a beyond gorgeous 1950s floral number which has stunning details... can't wait to get it on our model!

Floral, fur and some leather

Hey lovelies, 

In one of my previous posts (read here) I vowed to try and share more of our own style, so here we go. We will try and make it a regular feature and incorporate some of our vintage finds.

I do love this coat although I don't wear it often, I always feel like someone out of a 1970s black exploitation movie when I wear it! I picked it up a while ago at a New York flea market in Hell's Kitchen area, I think. Anyway, it was ridiculously cheap but it cost me more to get it dried cleaned than i bought it for, as it smelt like fleas had infested it!

My faux leather trousers is definitely my best buy of 2011, I’ve worn it to DEATH... I only wish I’d bought three or four.

The floral jacket from Zara was love at first site, I’ve noticed I do have a lot of floral jackets; prints and floral are something I tend to gravitate towards. 

 

The piece de resistance has to be my £29.99 boots also from Zara, (side note: Zara's rencent collections are killing it, they are defintely more go to store on the high street)  they are certainly not the kind of boots I tend to wear; I’m more of a chunky/block heeled boots kinda girl but they are ultra-comfy and I always feel rather sexy wearing them!

Watch out for our new vintage stock coming really soon to our store. It's been a while since we've done a photo shoot, this is mainly because we are on the hunt for a new model, our Muse, Jody is out of commission for a while. So, if you live in London and are interested in being the new face of Vintage Jumble Affair please drop us a message. For now, we have some lovely vintage pieces in store >>> click HERE.

Happy thrifting

Out and about with VJA & some Randoms thrown in.

Hey Lovelies,
 
thought we'd share some pictures we took out and about in Portobello Market a few weekends back, and there are some random pics thrown in. Portobello Market is one of our favorite places to hang out and indulge in our favorite pastime; you guessed it... thrifting for vintage gems. We've been going to the market for years and amongst some gorgeous vintage and secondhand clothes there are some amazing antiques to be had, its a must visit if you are ever in London.

A trip down Portobello road would not be complete without a visit to Hummingbird bakery; I can never pass by without scuffing down one or three of their famous red velvet cupcakes.

We've been busy thrifting and planning for our spring photo shoot but you can shop here for our ASOS Marketplace collection. 

 Happy thrifting

VJA collective: Jody, Abi, Annette and Ola at Ripe Tomato in Nottinghill, one of the best Italian restaurants in London, well that's our opinion!  If you are ever in London, you have to book a table and I assure you will not be disappointed.  Ripe Tomato is an intimate family run business and the food is divine.

 Hummingbird bakery, the best cupcakes in London town.
