Half Price Giveaway

Hello darlings.

I have recently reached 500 followers on Twitter (504 now oohh-err) and I said I'd have another giveaway so I am!

I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100 and if you guess correctly you can have a promo code for 50% off an item in my ASOS Marketplace. Come and have a look... You can comment on here and on my twitter @PUT_Vintage - that's two entries!

This gorgeous printed maxi would look even better at £12.50, yes?

Or polka dots for £11?

Wardrobe staple summer dress for a tenner?

Stunning 60s frock for a cheeky £14? Oh yes.

So go on. It's not 22 or 69. Don't say I didn't give you any clues.
 G G G G G G G OOOOOO!

Orange Lips VS Turquoise Skirt

Good evening to you all, especially you, yeah you.

I went out for some dinner this evening with my two favourite housemates and now I am very full of chorizo and halloumi and BURGER. Oh Bungalows And Bears you are good. Now before I take to the sofa with said housemates and ice cream to watch Made In Chelsea (what larks we have) and Game of Thrones I thought I'd do a little outfit post.

Terrible face coming up, but in a pencil skirt, one must do a booty shot. 

Coat: Debenhams

Bag: Flea Market

Top: Matalan

Skirt: Matalan

Stockings: Primark

Shoes: New Look

Showcasing my brand new Model's Own "Orangeade" lipstick. It is part of a limited edition range called Hyper Bright Matte, priced at a very reasonable £6. Also, I washed my hair for the first time in approximately one whole week. I didn't want to load it with hairspray so just did a little side quiff and backcombed the rest a little. 

Well well, now to indulge in some slovenly sofa action. Keep your eyes peeled for new arrivals on my ASOS Marketplace this weekend by the way, got some very lovely pieces to share with you.

New Stock In Today

The shop is getting off to a lovely start with (fingers crossed) some happy customers in the first few days. It's very very nearly the weekend so I decided to put up a bulk of vintage for your eyes and clicking fingers as you get in from work/uni and sit down with a brew. 

(Lucky bunch, I'm off to work again in a bit  *shakes fist*)

SHOP HERE NOW!

This dress has this seasons peplum! You know how I love peplums. However, it is missing the keyhole button at the back of the neck so it's a cheeky £15.

Lydia loves this blouse. I can see why, she looks like a babe. An elegant Victorian babe.

This is a reworked 8ps frock with a unique scarf detail.

Lydia is bringing out her inner gangster in this over sized scarf print shirt.

I adore this Monsoon Twilight smoking jacket.

Sparkle bolero jacket will liven up your LBD.

And here I am with my owl and a great polka dot pencil skirt I was very tempted to keep!

See you on the flip side.

Peplum Print

Well hello world. 

I'm feeling perky and chipper today as I'm starting work on my ASOS Boutique! Hurrah! It will be live TONIGHT. So freaking excited.

Here is an outfit for your eyes. I'm so in love with this printed peplum top from Matalan of all places. It looks great with these skinny black jeans and also with a bright turquoise pencil skirt I also bought that day. A waist cincher and so versatile. Boom. 

The sunglasses are from LeLove vintage from Etsy. They are shipped from the US but with postage they were still under a tenner. I've been after for a true pair of cat eyes for so long! So I'm very happy with these deadstock vintage sunnies.

The bag is from New Look in the sale, I'm not one for the metallic trend in full, but an accessory suits me fine.

Necklace - Topshop

Shoes - New Look

After having bought this Peplum top I'm very keen on getting my hands on the pink satin H&M peplum top that is everywhere in magazines currently, very similar to this one that Dianna Aagron is sporting:

Now you've got me thinking Peplum! Check out this gorgeous shift dress from old favourite River Island...

Happy waist cinching!

8 days and counting...

On March 12th Pretty Used Things will be launching on ASOS as a Vintage Boutique. I am so incredibly excited and nervous all wrapped into one. The logo above has been designed by my good friend Becky Roberts. What a gem. Below is my statement for what Pretty Used Things is all about...

“Pretty Used Things offers you exactly that, Pretty Used Things! We have lovingly handpicked every item with both individuality and wear-ability in mind. Vintage clothing should come with no pretensions and make fun, kooky additions to your wardrobe (without the huge mark-ups). We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but there's more to vintage than bunting and teacups! We are passionate about making vintage wearable for all shapes and sizes whether the styles are “on trend“ or not. Vintage is for everyone.”

I'm opening this shop from the point of view of a customer and my experience of buying vintage in recent years. If you feel you have anything to contribute from your experience, please get in touch - I want this to be the best it can be! See below for a sneaky preview of some of the items I will be selling, modeled by the gorgeous Bernadette.
