All The Fun of the Fair...

The VINTAGE fair that is!
Every month an aquaintance of mine, Jeannette Laight, organises a wonderful Vintage fair in my home town Birmingham.
It is held at the Hare and Hounds pub in Kings Heath, which is an appropriately alternative venue may I add!
Birmingham doesn't have as much as other major cities in the way of Vintage shopping so it is fabulous to have something like this to breath some individuality into us Brummies!

The Hare and Hounds pub

The fair will run from 11-5 and includes vast assortments of ladies and men's clothing, jewellery and accessories, 20th century ceramics, glass and other collectables, original 50's, 60's 70's furniture, Bric-a- Brac, arts and crafts and a yummy homemade cake stall for when you've worked up an appetite from all that rummaging!

So much to see!

Lunch will also be available at the Hare and Hounds so why not make a day of it!
I can't think of any better way of spending a relaxing Saturday afternoon! Can you?
Even if you don't buy anything it's so much fun to look at all the old bits and pieces.
I would LOVE to know the story behind them- where they came from, who owned them, was it special to them... I guess that's part of the charm of Vintage! 

Lovely, unique piece!

I have already joined the Facebook group so I can receive regular notifications about when the next fair is coming up, I would recommend you do too...

CARBON CLAD LOTUS EXIGE

This is no OEM job, its BUILT. One hell of a job. Lets go through with the procedure.

Knit one, design one!?

River Island are always doing loads to support fashion students (woo!) with their constant competitions and support of Graduate Fashion Week.
Now they are collaborating with Fashion Design students to create capsule collections.


The latest edition to their Design Forum is a knitwear collection by Royal College of Art student, Caroline Pambakian which is available this week!
One of my favourite pieces is this cable knit dress!

There are sooo many ways I could wear it if I can get my hands on one... on its own, over a sleeveless dress, with a belt, tights, no tights, boots, heels, sandals (when it's a bit warmer and dryer though I guess :( ), with a blazer... it's one of those pieces that is so versatile and understated. For £119.99 it's a little more than what I usually pay for high street but this is fashion history in the making, and therefore a true investment!


Check out the entire collection and other designer's work in selected River Island stores.

If you thought his car was familiar, you'd probably spotted his shinny car at NoriYaro awhile ago.

There, lovely isn't she.

If I was driving this car, I'd be thinking over and over and over and overrrrrrrr again, 'why am I going so close to wall?' I probably should just bring it out and drift around cones. hahaha!

Sunday Night YAWN

People say Mondays are the toughest, you go to work and you don't know what's happening. Meetings after meetings and you can't absorb anything. It just feels weird. Oh yeah, before I forget it, about the car pictures, this entire blogpost has nothing to do with the pictures, just me ranting here about work tomorrow. :p And I thought I'd just decorate it with nice cars. I mean, cars with great wheels. I hope they'll brighten up your monday morning.

It's about time to give my back a good stretch and hit the sack. NOTTTTT. gonna tune my guitar. and hit a few notes. :D

READER'S RIDE: Joe40cents a.k.a. Dorifuto Demon's 180sx

Teaser of Mohd. Ashraff a.k.a joe40cent a.k.a. dorifuto_demon's ride. Its a 180sx been put to sleep for 2 years. This jewel spent 2 new year countdowns, 2 christmas eves, on jack stands. The owner insist that the work should be done at home, and after all the labour, he managed to pull off this offset monster to the ground. A few weeks before this, I heard that the monster is alive, and early today, I received this picture. Due to the height, the owner is sending the 180sx to the exhaust shop to get the pipings sorted out so that it wont hit the speed humps so badly. After the exhaust is sorted, he'll get it painted and you'll see more pictures here. ;)

Joe, I is lov'in those rims man!

Cherry Picked!

I've always had a weakness for sweet stuff and it doesn't stop at food. These cherry print dresses by Moschino look yummy!

Once again that brand I LOVE, Jarlo has come to the rescue and saved my bank balance with these delicious 1950's inspired dresses.

The secret ingredients for the halterneck Sherry dress are a lovely full skirt and a fitted bodice, making it the perfect figure-flattering style. I would wear this with deep red lips for a totally vintage look. It's only £55 and comes in black and white.

Another style I have "cherry-picked" from Jarlo's collection is the Vivien dress. I lurrve a sweetheart neckline because I can wear my favourite necklace for the icing on a scrumptious cake. The Vivien dress is ours for just £60 and also comes in black or white.

Thanks Jarlo, they're truely good enough to eat!

Harem Dream

Harem style trousers have become a catwalk classic. They are so versatile in how you can wear them. The stylish drop crotch style looks great with sandals, pumps, tee's and vests for a casual day look or with jackets, spangley tops and heels they are instantly transformed into a timeless, contemporary night time look.

They are the chic-est shape that suits everyone and once again have been gracing the Spring catwalks thanks to designers such as Victor and Rolf.

The harem trouser can be added to your wardrobe for a look that is sleek, sophisticated and sexy.

And guess where I've spotted some GORGEOUS one's not dis-similar to these Victor & Rolf ones...

...In Mark's & Spencer!

That's right, their designer range Speziale by per una offers these slouch silk trousers in a muted pale grey-blue.

They will transport you from the dreary English "Summer" to hot Arabian Nights instantly.

These gorgeous sleeksters will be available in May for just £55 but only at specially selected Marks and Spencer stores.

Grab them while you can!

Hachiroku Friday?

The only caption that came to my mind was "Why am I living in Malaysia again?" This is probably one of the ONLY car that I heard of prices going up by the year. None other than the hachiroku - 8,6 in Japanese for the chassis number AE86. The legendary car fetching tofu across mt. Akina.

AUTOBLOG: Ferrari 458 Italia to be newest Autobot in Transformers 3

This time I swear I will pay more attention to the cars unlike Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Megan Fallen. Repeating the Camaro wasn't really what I expected, maybe thats the coolest the sponsors could supply. So, the Megan slow motion juggling running scene was the highlight of the movie and not some crazy stunts by the drivers or cgi crew. Now being confirmed that the 458 Italia would be added into the lineup, we're ready for more surprises. Wonder what additions would we get on the female cast..? 1st July 2011 is the day our queries be answered.

Sarah Harding knows how to do cheap chic...

Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding has been spotted wearing a lovely anchor necklace on more than one occasion. The necklace in question is by Me & Zena.

Nice necklace Sarah!!

As she has been wearing her blue anchor so much, jewellery designer Zena McKeown has made an exclusive version for Sarah.

The anchor necklace in cream and gold has Sarah’s name inscribed on it and for that extra wow factor, a diamond was placed in the centre of the design.

Zena said “I wanted to create Sarah an exclusive necklace as she has been spotted wearing my jewellery brand, ‘Me & Zena’ loads. I loved that she wore my designs. For the first time, I worked with gold and a special cut diamond to create a truly special piece. The necklace is worth over £500. My most expensive design ever.”

If however you don't have £500 then why not visit the Me & Zena website, www.meandzena.com and get the original ‘Take Me Down’ anchor necklace which is available in cream or navy.

Zena also creates lots of other kitsch and cute pieces including earrings and bracelets and it's all dead CHEAP! (so enjoy!).
