Vintage Fun


Hi lovelies,

If you’re a regular to this post, you’ll already know that I love vintage – I. REALLY. LOVE. VINTAGE! So I’m always on the look-out for new places to go and explore where I can find some fab items.

I have two new favourite places: 21st Retro Vintage, recommended by the ever wonderful Kirsty; and Blitz London.

I headed to 21st Century Vintage a couple of weeks ago and I was amazed not only by how much stuff was crammed into every inch of the store, but also by the prices! The prices were incredible and there was so much I wanted to buy, but I was good and only bought two dresses. The dresses below cost a total of £8. Yes, £8 for two authentic vintage dresses! I couldn’t believe it – I think I’m still stunned:
The Blue dress is my favourite one. The colour is gorgeous and I like the cut a lot.

The next place, Blitz London is in my favourite part of London – Shoreditch, and is also a treasure chest of amazing vintage pieces. I really think it’s a good place for plus-size women too, because they have so many items with elastic – dresses, skirts, shorts, etc. Again, I was good and only bought a skirt, but I’ll be going back after payday to make a few more purchases!
Aren’t the colours amazing?!

This is what I wore on Blitz day. I ADORE this dress! It reminds me of the kind of dress a daisy-chain girl would wear – and that’s why I love it. The pattern is so fun and I love the cut at the top and around the waist. It’s longer than I would normally wear (my dresses get shorter and shorter as the year go by), but I felt fabulous in this all day. I paired it with a lightly coloured cardigan and the most comfortable sandals ever:
Dress: Soho’s Clothing
Cardigan: South (via Very)
Belt: Camden Market
Sunglasses: Dorothy Perkins
Leggings: South (via very)
Sandals: Dorothy Perkins 

Always struggling with the wind!



I hope you’re all well and are having a wonderful weekend!

Love and hugs,
Isha

Success

In the blogger world, success is often in reference to money or exposure. Often these two things go hand-in-hand, in that the more exposure you get the more you are in a position to ask to be paid for your work/ name/ face, etc. Blogging has become a business for many and an aspiration to even more, but are we being realistic?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have ambition and to work and strive for a goal or goals, but I also think it's important to be realistic with those goals. There are so many factors that come into trying to make a blog a business. For example, bloggers whom have been able to make their blog their sole source of income are often white, slim/ slim passing, a small fat, able-bodied, cis gendered, and/ or with euro-centric beauty. There are of course other examples that correlate, but that's the starting point. Not every blogger is going to fall into that blueprint, nor should we, but unfortunately we have not yet reached a point where said…
