Cute Mini Cupcakes in Camden!

On a recent visit to Camden Horse Market I stumbled across a delightful little stand selling the most amazing little mini cupcakes. They were really reasonably priced and very cute. I was so caught up in choosing which ones I wanted that I neglected to note down the name of the cupcake stand, but if you are visiting the Horse market any time soon, keep an eye out for pretty little cupcakes...

They sold three different flavours of cupcakes: lemon, vanilla, and chocolate. We bought four different mini cupcakes and they were popped into a lovely little egg box for us to take away and enjoy.

I Love Camden Horse Market - Vintage and Quirkiness Galore!

This week, I went to visit my lovely sister in London for two days with my younger sister too. We went to see Sister Act at the Paladium (starring THE Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Superior!!), we visited some museums and went to Camden Horse Market. I absolutely love Camden, it's very alternative, and there is vintage and quirkiness around every corner!



There were so many lovely, gorgeous things in the vintage shops in the market, and there were plenty of dresses, jewellery and accessories that I would have loved to buy! But I'm trying desperately to stay out of my overdraft at least until the academic year starts again! So I bought myself some cute little vintage fabric covered heart earrings for £2! bargain!

I adore these old trunks and suitcases. The little picnic basket at the front is particularly cute!


Love this piano!! It's covered in vintage sheetmusic and posters.

Not only is Camden Horse Market full of quirky and alternative shopping delights, but the actual buildings and sculptures themselves in the market are amazing!

Gorgeous Red Floral Vintage Dress!

I'm not usually one for sharing my outfits in posts, but I bought this gorgeous red floral vintage dress for an amazing £7 in Camden and I love it so much it's too good NOT to share it with you all! I tend to find it quite difficult to find vintage dresses that fit my larger size and that look good on, so I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that this little gem fit perfectly! I completed the look with a red bow in my hair and white chunky beads. Happy days!

Where do you find your vintage treasures? I love finding little hidden vintage shops that are off the beaten path and grab myself something special. There are a few lovely places in Leeds that I visit regularly, and one of my new favourite's is a newly opened vintage shop in Hastings Old Town called Little Treasures, they have some really great vintage treats there!
