Love Vintage Love Friends Love Frocks

Grab a Pimms or a cup of tea and get comfy... 
this post is seriously pic heavy. 

I spent the weekend 'working' at the 


And by 'working' I mean trying on frocks, making new friends, being ridiculous, laughing, taking photos, swearing, having big hair and hiding in the racks.


The company was wonderful... Ada Prada 
and Nathan 'Riff Raff' McSpunkynuts...


And the rest of the gorgeous McSpunkynuts clan.

  
Beautiful Jacinta from Circa Vintage Hats


Fabulous kitchenware from That Retro Piece


I'm just a little in love with this fab chap: Tony, The Quiffmaster, who kept the boys looking good...

Except for this boy, who no problem keeping himself fabularse, thank you very much, biatch...



Gorgeous Suze in her gorgeous faux fur and rockin' vintage boots and a couple of beautiful hat girls...



Oh look, there's me and my hair again! 


This fab crimplene number was pretty gorgeous:topstitching and actual pockets!

 

Two of my favourite girls of the weekend: beautiful Melissa (make up artist extraordinaire) and our Helga's doppelganger (aka The Crimplene Queen!)


Ada, stop looking so awful all the time!


So many fabulous chicks!


Ugh, stop hurting my eyes! 


I CRIED when I saw those amazing Day of the Dead cowgirl boots. Fortunately, my hair gave me solace. But hair won't keep my feet dry. So now I'm sad again.


Seriously, my hair could have her own blog.


As usual, I'm horrendously behind in my blog reading, so give me a couple of days and I'll be over for a catch up. 

If you have the chance to attend a Love Vintage Fair - GO! And invite me!

And thank you to my beautiful peeps 
in the seedy motel, for your company and for finding me iced coffee when my brains fell out.

Damn me for living so far from you, even our hair could get along well and maybe form a band!!
This vintage fair was far more damn wonderful than I could ever imagine and you are always so damn beautiful (but I could easily imagine that) and your red dress is damn fabulous, the damn green scarf too and so all the people there including your damn perfect Ada!
Thank you for all this awesomness,
it makes my damn day!!
Sorry if I'm swearing like a barbarous bear, but I really want to be you!!

I love you more than Day of the Dead cowgirl everything!!

Vix said...

Amor, your hair is so frickin' fabulous I don't know what else to say! Ada is a worthy companion to your utter gorgeousness.
Love you more than big hair! xxxxxxxxxxx

grunge-queen said...

Oh what a fab looking fair and did you ever meet some lovely vintage queens! Your hair rocks - super sexy go-go especially with the wonderful frock! xoxo

Forest City Fashionista said...

Your hair has rendered me temporarily speechless!! To heck with a blog, it needs it's own talk show. I LOVE vintage shows and am going to the one in New York in October. I just about swooned over the photo of Ada in the turquoise "petal" hat; she is just stunning!

MistressCatgirl said...

You look gorgeous! I love how awesomely big your hair is. Last time I went to a "vintage fair" it was a bunch of old ladies selling garage sale lefts over. And overpriced at that.

cb said...

what fun! i want to go! you look AMAZING! your hair! oh my goodness! it is perfect and you look hot in your red and black little number! that blue velvet hat your friend is wearing is making me jealous! i am not really a hat person but i would somehow make that work!
xo,
cb

c... said...

Wow ..Looks amazing... Wish that I had been there...

Melanie said...

Thank you - now I know what to do when my brains fall out! But I'd need a seedy motel and peeps for the remedy to work properly. You are siren-worthy gorgeous in these photos. And the company you keep is stellar. I wonder if you got the crimplene... Please share. Your hair can't have its own blog - her proper place is to keep a lid on that magnificent brain when there is no emergency coffee on hand.

Vintage Coconut said...

HOLY SHISHKABOBS! your hair is FLIPPING FABULOUS. You look like a sexy 60's spy girl all you need is a gun and super hero suit... or maybe my imagination is working over time. *hahaha*

Your HAIR! I can't form words as to the fabulousness of it. You ever cut it, I'll fly over there and smark your arse.
I'm trying to pick who is the second most fabulous person pictured....I think it has to be dark purple lip girl. That lipstick rocks.

The Pugnacious Vegetarian said...

How adorable is that first photo? I think I peed a little when I saw the kitchenware photo. I need those Day of the Dead cowgirl boots. Seriously. Your hair is amazing!

Pull Your Socks Up! said...

OMG if I was staying at a seedy motel I would have been giving out invitations at the fair - "Out-fabulous yourself at my Forever After Party". That is the best vintage fair I've ever seen!!! Why is everyone so beautiful? I would have gone broke and bought everything off you - especially if you were standing in your fabulous 1968 Seventeen magazine pose with that hairrrrrrrr! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
