Catching a bargain

Broke the Sunday tradition of doing sweet F.A. by leaving the house before 11am to venture out to University of Southampton's campus for Judy's Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair, the UK's leading vintage fair hailing a shopping extravaganza to 23 cities across the country.

The fair wasn't as big as I imagined and from the images I'd previously seen, but even so there was a good atmosphere, everyone bonded by their love of all things vintage. Stalls featured everything from vintage fashion, to fashion magazines from the 20's and beyond, to unique upcycled jewellery bearing Polly Pocket toys as charms.

I successfully restricted myself by only purchasing a sweet little floral-print bag, Rayban style sunglasses and a kitsch scissor necklace; however, if it wasn't for pesky rent money worries I could've (and would've) bought a whole lot more.
