Feather and Black Challenge - Phase 2!


I have been shopping to find complementary pieces for the Feather & Black challenge which you can read about here. Plus, I've added the reveal photo to Facebook, so you can hit 'LIKE' to vote for my room now.

As a reminder, here is the piece of furniture I'm styling up -  Olivia white wooden blanket box

My room is pretty much a blank canvas, but my style is quite feminine and I love having memories and trinkets on display. So when I went shopping, that's where I focused my efforts. I like to get the most for my money and seek out great buys, and that's exactly what I've been doing!




I definitely got a lot for my money and I went for a London theme and subtle colour palette. The small cushions were £12.80, reduced from £16 and the large ones were £20 reduced from £25. The Tea for Two London set was £18 and the 'Home' Scrabble Cubes were £19.50. The little white photo frames were just £4.20 each - all this was from Debenhams. 


The Breakfast in Bed tray was £7.99 from Robert Dyas - an unlikely place for pretty bits. Store Twenty One was where I picked up the Morrocan style lamps at £5.99 each.

 

Finally, I hit Haydens Home Style, the shop my parents run alongside their carpet business, for the half moon rug £12.99, wicker tea cup planter £8.95,  beach sign £4.95,  small wicker heart £1.75, larger wicker, heart £2.50, Shabby chic heart photo frame £8.95.

The next post will include the final room with all the goodies in place. What do you think so far?

Little Treasures Vintage - A Lovely Little Vintage Shop in Hastings!

I have featured this wonderful little shop on my blog before, and I have been inspired to blog once again, I love it so much! Whenever I am visiting home when I'm not at university in Leeds, I always make time to pay a visit to Little Treasures Vintage on The Highstreet in Hastings Old Town. I had a little chat with the shop owner, who is lovely, on my latest visit to her delightful shop and I bought these cute little cameo earrings, which came in a pretty drawstring bag too.


I bought this gorgeous floral milk jug when I visited the shop during Hastings Old Town week for the bargainous price of £1! You can't beat a pretty, vintage bargain!

The shop sells some brilliant jewellery: a wide variety of vintage earrings and necklaces amongst some lovely vintage-style jewellery, including the nautical necklaces below!


I was very tempted by the lego head and pink gingerbread men earrings but I settled on the cameo earrings instead. If there were no restraints on my budget I would happily buy up half of the shop stock!

There is a great range of clothing as well. There are some lovely unique vintage dresses and items of clothing (I had my eye on a couple of polka dot dresses!) and some vintage-inspired clothing lines too - I especially love the 40's style tea dresses!

The (relatively) newer addition to the shop is the opening of the upstairs space for mens wear and home-ware! I adore the cushions, my favourites are the Flamingo cushions and these brilliant Centaur pillow cases.


I just love a good vintage mirror!


Little Treasures also stock some fabulous home-ware by Lush Designs I love the Rex and Regina Tea Towels, lampshades and the cushions in the photo below...

If you are in the Hastings area I suggest you come and visit this adorable shop and bag yourself a lovely, unique vintage outfit that everyone will envy, and kit out your home with some vintage treats! But in the meantime, enjoy some more vintage delights from the wonderful Little Treasures via the marvel of Youtube....

Little Treasures - Vintage Shop in Hastings Old Town

There is a lovely little vintage shop in The Highstreet, in Hastings Old Town. It's called Little Treasures and it really does live up to it's name. It is totally delightful and is filled with gorgeous vintage treasures. There are some beautiful vintage polka dot dresses, floral playsuits, and gingham pinafores adorning their rails, along with some really cute home-ware too.



As well as clothing, Little Treasures also sells home-ware and jewellery. I adore the cushions with 50's pin up designs, Hawaiian prints, very cute flamingo designs, and a variety of retro patterns, and I would love to fill my sofa with them! Little Treasures also sell some quirky vintage furniture.



I really love the jewellery that Little Treasures sell. The teapot and teacup necklace below is a personal favourite of mine, the Tealover's Necklace is a bargain at £12 (plus, the polka dot background makes the whole thing much more appealing! or is that just me?)
