Vintage Fair | Trend Tv

Just a quick reminder to keep checking out the YouTube channel for Trend TV!
We're going to be popping back out into the streets of Nottingham later this week to get some new footage for you all, but in the mean time, we made a cheeky visit to the Vintage Fair, Nottingham. Only in town for 1-2 Sundays a year we were sure not to miss it! 
Just CLICK HERE to be taken straight to the page!

This was just before I head out to the Cyprian city of Ayia Napa for a short break so I bagged myself a pair of retro sunnies to take with me! Bargain at £8 each or 2 for £15, Gavinia and I went halves on two!
Im aiming to do one giant haul soon, so be sure to keep an eye out!
Here are a few of my own little snaps from the outing.

Horse headed man wearing a Barber Jacket. Randomly and hilariously cool.

I wanted those red and white leather gloves so badly . But there is no way that i'd be able to pull them off without  looking like the weakest excuse of an MJ impersonator. Or even worse, a Janet Jackson wannabe.

Sometimes I wish I had a cabinet like this to display my jeweler y  in. One day when I'm rich and I  have a house so big that I have a designated jeweler y room, this is how everything will be displayed.

These are not the sunglasses that I purchased, I'm keeping those a surprise for later! These however are just fashion glasses. I want a pair of fashion glasses so badly. So badly in fact that I often hope for my eyesight to deteriorate in order for me to need glasses. I don't care if they suit me or not, I want a pair. And I was oh so very close to falling in love with this pair!

Gavina found herself a cheeky pair of glasses too! If this day was good for only one thing, it was the amount of fun we had playing dress up! 

And last but not least, I found this fabric to be slightly beautiful. It was a hand printed sample sheet and was so soft to touch. I wanted to buy it and make myself a scarf but one: I'd have been so scared to cut it, two: I have no sewing machine at uni and three: lets be honest, being the professional procrastinator that I am, it wasn't going to happen!

That's all for folks!

Bad Bitches Rock Camel Toes | OOTD

Wore my second pair of vintage jeans today. As much as I love them and as comfy as they are, I couldn't help but feel as though as I sporting the world's greatest camel toe as I was walking in them today. I was probably only paranoid, but I couldn't help but feel the eyes of NTU City students gawping at my bulge! ...Let's hope not!

I will not cease to sing the praises of these jeans in terms of comfort! I was definitely rocking  my Bridget's today , but was there a VPL in sight? No way in hell. Perfect jeans!
Another rather warm day in the city that is Nottingham, I wore only  a tee and pleather jacket and was perfectly warm. 
It's a well known fact that I'm lost without a decent overdose of jewellery glazing my outfits and body, so obviously I threw on a few chunky pieces.

Jeans - COW Vintage £28
Tee - Primark £4
Jacket - H&M £29.99
Boots - Topshop £70
Belt - Primark £2?
Backpack - Florence, Italy £90
Necklace - River Island (Old)
Hoop Earrings - H&M £2.99?

Fashion Haul

So I've long been meaning to do a fashion haul for quite some time now and today is the day that I finally got around to it. Talk about procrastination right! My bad!
But anyhoo, here are the items that I am going to feature... (I also decided to photograph them on my washing line. Why? I don't know, I just thought it would be a bit different. Like it? Leave me a comment!)

As mentioned in my afore post about the COW student lock in, I bought two pairs of some lovely vintage high waisted jeans. Since then I've literally lived in the Lee pair simply because I love the fit. The Levis pair however, I've not had a chance to wear yet but I'm hoping to wear them later this week with the very popular TopShop burgundy high neck crop top and leather jacket. Seen as the weather has picked up I figured I may as well make the most of it!


I wear these rolled up just above the ankle. Perfect with  my worn to death converse or 90's style boots, they're  very versatile and so comfy. Also, the high waisted and sucked in waist makes it great to tuck jumpers and t-shirts into on lazy days.




My light washed out grey Levis are slightly larger at the waist but as I love me a good belt, I find little problems with them once they're cinched in.

The colour of these jeans are my favourite part about them and despite them being slightly too big, is probably the sole reason why I bought them. 
I'm most likely to wear them the same way that I wear my \Lee's.







I've also indulged in the purchasing of two new hats! One snap-back and one beanie. I was getting fed up of having bad hair days, gym days and simply lazy days but not having a way to cover my hair so I made an investment.


I'd wanted a snap-back for quite a few years at least, but had never seen any that I truly loved. Then I came across a small London lifestyle brand called Underated.
I love me some leopard print, so when I found this cheeky number there was no question about it.
They've some really nice and unique pieces on the website, reasonably priced and the quality is really good.
Just click the link above or click here if you'd like to check them out. 

 I absolutely love the neon on this beanie! Only £7 from ASOS there was no question about it! The neon trend is one that I am sure to be buying into this coming spring summer.
After it majorly dominated the SS13 catwalks, it's sure to, and has already started to, dominate the highstreet. 



I'm trying to find as many possible ways to work neons into my wardrobe without looking like a teletubby and thought this hat was a great place to start.

One final item, last but not least, is a simple LBD from ASOS.
It was hard to get a good picture of this dress that really captured its shape as it looks so much better on than merely hung, so I've linked the webpage both above and below and I've also included the image from the ASOS website as well. 
At only £18 it's such a bargain. Very versatile, it can be dressed up or down and made to suit every and any fashion mood. Perfect!
It's pretty ideal for those days when you want something loose fitting and comfy to wear, with a shape that still manages to flatter and add interest.

That's my haul guys! Enjoy, comment, browse and maybe even bye!

Cow Student LockIn | TrendTv

So Wednesday just passed, Saadiya, Gavina and myself took a little trip down to Cow for their late night Student LockIn event. Offering 15% discount and some free beverages we were sure not to pass the opportunity up! And as you can see in the video, I was sure not to pass on the free drinks! haha


So, click here, Cow Student LockIn | TrendTv, watch the video & then subscribe to TrendTvNottingham.

Gavina and I did make a few cheeky little purchases and so I will be uploading a mini haul of my buys very soon! Also, I'm still very concious of the way that I come across on camera, so I'm still trying to perfect the way I present, mainly by trying not to sound so nerdy and stop moving around so much! But please, all suggestions and comments are welcome, either drop one on down below or leave a comment on the TrendTv channel!
So keep it locked if you'd like to see my new vintage buys!
