Vintage is one of those things which i dare say, i'm not THAT bothered about. This may sound ohmygod coming from someone who loves fashion and art, but we all have our likes and dislikes. Although i've recentley been putting 'vintage' before things i google, and vintage necklaces and keys, like the ones in the pictures have been really catching my eye and inspiring me in designs and illustrations, and most probabley, my dress sence in the near future. Although vintage has recentley taken me in, i dont think i'll ever be an all out vintage girl, but i've recentley seen the beauty of it, the beauty of the old and how things can become timeless classics. I also hope to find some treasures when i visit charity shops in the new year :)
does anyone share the same view? or opposite even?

I have to admit, I am a total vintage girl. Completely unintentionally, but I cannot deny it if it's to the extent that some of my friends describe me as "vintage"!

But yeah, overall though, I kind of wish I had more of an ability to mix & match stuff. You know, vintage in a modern way and all that malarkey.

Having said that, I still don't feel I have "found my style" yet anyway, so who knows.

Funny you should say this because the other day I was thinking the same! Yeah, you can find some cool vintage pieces but a lot of it is to do with how you mix it up, and often some of the things are really just hideous. I like vintage jewellery above all other things, but I dunno... I kind of prefer pieces from shops that have a vintage twist, that have been updated... rather than me plodding around in huge shoulderpads and dodgy floral skirts :) Wahay! Take care x
