However if like me and you don't own that many autumn friendly shoes it might involve making a quick run to the shops to nab what's in stock. Although a recent trip to a local supermarket taught me, this doesn't necessarily mean you have to break the bank to do so. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"> During the summer months we tend to ignore our closed-toe friends in favour of their sparkly sandals and wedges rivals but in truth they haven't gone away they are still sitting in their shelves in all their summer-y colours which means come the end-of-summer-sales there are plenty hiding on the rails. Many chose to ignore them due to their brightness saying <em>'you can't wear yellow shoes in winter'</em>. I disagree and when I came across these gorgeous suede orange stilettos for £5 I had to have them even if they were slightly too big (just means I have to walk slower round the puddles).</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"> Fashion may have season colour rules but style does not so if you want to wear black in Summer and pink in Winter I say go for it!</span>fashionrevivalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00767597845661164325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931502106629597172.post-87672363937950554532010-09-08T09:30:00.000-07:002010-09-08T12:23:42.298-07:00Elle J'adore and the City<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheGsBkCwo0Rc2osNGTx6kjFGMUNOM8AYr8mAVqps39zkOxXLr2ESfLuwz07YhpMt4Dz0fK5QAUAsHMZ35JuTSp77mQi44Xhz6xh5uInqV-kFrY4hfexfrgycTiZDaWWC9hbAcENO8tSF2m/s1600/P8252292.JPG"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514607302150053650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheGsBkCwo0Rc2osNGTx6kjFGMUNOM8AYr8mAVqps39zkOxXLr2ESfLuwz07YhpMt4Dz0fK5QAUAsHMZ35JuTSp77mQi44Xhz6xh5uInqV-kFrY4hfexfrgycTiZDaWWC9hbAcENO8tSF2m/s320/P8252292.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><br />Regular readers of <em>fashion Revival </em>and friends of mine will know that my love life has been anything but smooth over the last year and a half. And for this <em>elle j'adore and the city </em>I thought I would make it a bit more personal as to be honest I now realise I have done EVERYTHING you are NOT supposed to do after a broken-heart and I want to prevent others from making the same mistakes I have made.<br />The following our lessons I have learnt with dealing with a broken heart....</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">1. Most importantly, you CANNOT be friends with your ex because there is always one person who cares more and you'll only end up getting hurt.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">2. It is not wise to reply to your ex's drunken texts at 3 O'clock in the morning because as they say 'curiosity KILLED the cat' and well you will be extremely tired and grumpy the next morning in work.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">3. Do not date someone else who knows your ex, it will just give you more reasons to mention their name and well it is kind of the rebound of rebounds.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">4. Do not be guilt tripped by friends to accept his friend request on your new facebook account because he is on their lists. You do not want to hear about how he is currently drunk at 4 O'clock in the morning and wants some female 'attention'.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">5. Never go round to his house for a cup of tea and a chat when you are stressing out and looking for support. Truth is he might have other things in mind and if you end up kissing you will only regret it later. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">6. NEVER try any form of dating in a vulnerable state it will only make you generalise all men as the same (only being after one thing).</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">7. And finally, DO listen to your friends' advice but acknowledge that no relationship is perfect and no one has all the answers.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I apologise for being so glum in this post, I do acknowledge that every relationship is different and I applaud the people who can make things work but personally I thought I could and now I know I could not and cannot. However there are a few things I have been told by friends and family that I still disagree with now and to end on a positive note there are two points that I believe should be remembered religiously after a break-up which are....</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">1. NEVER deny your feelings. If you did/still do love the other person do not deny it even to them. Love is not something to be ashamed about, it is just their misfortune if they do not feel the same back.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">2. It is OKAY to be single for a long period of time. It is not an other-half that makes you but you yourself and being single gives you more opportunity to discover the inner you. And if it takes you another 3 or even 30 years to do that, the only person it should matter to is you alone.</span>fashionrevivalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00767597845661164325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931502106629597172.post-48658088043729390512010-09-06T08:11:00.000-07:002010-09-08T09:28:24.139-07:00Educating Vintage<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9bqTrJ3b7rM1c8OkdpM7h5SYqlPXEschMTTy_1nkhyphenhyphenwVNS8YA4otMEh2lIH2eNEfPxVIQqZ9OyIflBVtSvTwu5CYH6Z-zkE88Hbn6Rv_P6ztlvimmecDsFivSYvGsgBHPNku2YWCNthxO/s1600/educatingvintage"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514579651999700226" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9bqTrJ3b7rM1c8OkdpM7h5SYqlPXEschMTTy_1nkhyphenhyphenwVNS8YA4otMEh2lIH2eNEfPxVIQqZ9OyIflBVtSvTwu5CYH6Z-zkE88Hbn6Rv_P6ztlvimmecDsFivSYvGsgBHPNku2YWCNthxO/s320/educatingvintage" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;">New posts at www.educatingvintage.blogspot.com.

Never for one minute believing it had anything to do with Mr. Valentino himself I googled the name anyway and to my disbelief found out it was a bag in one of his daughters high-street collections.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"> I always believe in the power of google and that's why I love vintage and second-hand shops so much because you never know what you are going to come across and in the process you have the opportunity to hear about labels and learn history that none of your high street stores would be ever able to give you.</span>fashionrevivalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00767597845661164325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931502106629597172.post-16331742096497981912010-07-07T10:52:00.000-07:002010-07-07T12:05:07.241-07:00Vintage Sundays at The Empire<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCryuFx1uZaAxOgFODDxvrdZ0Bo_nWWru2P0qfBjyvp5bLPzLP1OCB4rScBEVcDo2zgRCGzWd4XXLUj3MfwiN6nCs_MgQycgClDvPpwAlf10gDa3MWGCmx5pNA1D2jYABLn6BCNe_AFOQ7/s1600/P7071567.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491241906681573186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCryuFx1uZaAxOgFODDxvrdZ0Bo_nWWru2P0qfBjyvp5bLPzLP1OCB4rScBEVcDo2zgRCGzWd4XXLUj3MfwiN6nCs_MgQycgClDvPpwAlf10gDa3MWGCmx5pNA1D2jYABLn6BCNe_AFOQ7/s320/P7071567.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg40EWjjI6odkQsrWTQMxJKMt9ufTVplY7l5fbZHAlUxKGlf9JkwfszD65m7evE6tNhrB-G_Fl0aXJl3D7MzgudbSv0pZ2xTHoVOutl_xKN8kTHj7BANUGQ-CMSumDR0A9rD_wu4zpk6V56/s1600/P7071578.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgscroTiFMHHPH4CEzbca-TF7WtrMoNgQu5DMXN17z7ztzagPOmAeCftJPVL8WH0RdhjiC-X58YkHXrsaQDIudChKl6ABLuu7xxZraWcwRau-x8UDWU_G300FFIP_tJ4s8BJ1GLDKzeIf45/s1600/P6031378.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1pnYRYIaXPbaf1Bo6lncYAlLy-eM4lpiFpNxCXfG2QTLfvbWnnymTbmuAxLkIFjRSL_35CySSMEPSuHjiwyPIfP7UooCkygcEFnmm-eKihAnrZITVVLAix7fBXvRyKlXzVlVqR_cJvE_p/s1600/P7071567.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DwIZJQQpAee_ydMd_Wln99rpmvZugQach0nu465E8PqidVTkK5r1KUF-TPNl5Ca-SwKfHho43r2Ttvtu8_7VL_Wu2Z_360csq2y545rojdrh2hL_eqJEEP4pk5VLY2H9E_CMVWMEsxm8/s1600/P7071565.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"> I hope all you vintage fashionistas out there managed to make your way down to Vintage Sundays at The Empire last Sunday despite the blustery weather.

And as I got it home and flicked the pages I felt automatically at home as not only did it contain Kate but an article on the intriguing Mitford Sisters, a feature on Karen Elson, and the Summer school advertised that I was looking at before Christmas but my bank balance just cannot afford (run by ifm if anyone wants to know).</span><br /><div><div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I seriously think I was meant to be born French though my waistline stubbornly disagrees. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></div></div></div></div></div>fashionrevivalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00767597845661164325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931502106629597172.post-40581195166026684982010-06-14T09:22:00.000-07:002010-06-14T15:01:46.608-07:00Here Comes the Bride<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxF5v2DwEIcGTVY2ZZ9Th5ylzuA562Y6r9BLe6J5vTcfqHrBBaOx8oujYb5x1TQG_Q_HV7rEt_15P7wq3L1FAAvmlF0w0ySpaFuYI37Z-njw7gq9L0hDRICgj6agv9j3b1LRuVem9Sk73/s1600/P6141500.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482749273377840786" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxF5v2DwEIcGTVY2ZZ9Th5ylzuA562Y6r9BLe6J5vTcfqHrBBaOx8oujYb5x1TQG_Q_HV7rEt_15P7wq3L1FAAvmlF0w0ySpaFuYI37Z-njw7gq9L0hDRICgj6agv9j3b1LRuVem9Sk73/s320/P6141500.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKtWLaViqPXcfY-8ChZQnBcYzoBErs1v3Sym4S2kiyA_hOQCRmvsNE41scohMPU5kaIw3ApSxF3M3-s69m-3upLxZ-k4mnGRE4NboVe5sIj4TqaHxAOeK35fjlcdPfnUr5Eqtt_7eyZT1/s1600/P6141485.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482749260654802882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKtWLaViqPXcfY-8ChZQnBcYzoBErs1v3Sym4S2kiyA_hOQCRmvsNE41scohMPU5kaIw3ApSxF3M3-s69m-3upLxZ-k4mnGRE4NboVe5sIj4TqaHxAOeK35fjlcdPfnUr5Eqtt_7eyZT1/s320/P6141485.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRVyDNAF8S2sXOkwA7ATCJ9gWUBfunQ9lNDsi6mpAV7qqiaHN-SfNS6ntRo0NWpEw-p9rVM0M2PjqJshtxegcOv_aCe4jK7rHVMAVVL1pAIsEnuINUP3kofj756o9svkryF3rsyIiCjee/s1600/P6141466.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482749247492536882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRVyDNAF8S2sXOkwA7ATCJ9gWUBfunQ9lNDsi6mpAV7qqiaHN-SfNS6ntRo0NWpEw-p9rVM0M2PjqJshtxegcOv_aCe4jK7rHVMAVVL1pAIsEnuINUP3kofj756o9svkryF3rsyIiCjee/s320/P6141466.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4WtjPXu4dnvfnS8DYEhyspDrSTAafZuBAkFSSyG2vDADSh95tdwAPR3TeLl9v0qgGwCFFMVrkBg1tGxthUEkXJN4dmCHS0eWun7tyr2L0tOkFEct0hREFlk2YL2PsB6STHV9O6Dmd-b1j/s1600/P6141491.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482749271199898674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4WtjPXu4dnvfnS8DYEhyspDrSTAafZuBAkFSSyG2vDADSh95tdwAPR3TeLl9v0qgGwCFFMVrkBg1tGxthUEkXJN4dmCHS0eWun7tyr2L0tOkFEct0hREFlk2YL2PsB6STHV9O6Dmd-b1j/s320/P6141491.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPaQaBLY4E0Ulepv4ciVh4vnV8pBpMvAw375HLK3M_ENrYzgrvpR318nB_OGxtVF5Mxdatf0EsgJ5swrzqcIGdk3Smmei28nrX4LEkTR1JRtQIMcGKnwC263iVgfo5W5AddWxHmjYqDNZ/s1600/P6141483.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482749256445838226" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPaQaBLY4E0Ulepv4ciVh4vnV8pBpMvAw375HLK3M_ENrYzgrvpR318nB_OGxtVF5Mxdatf0EsgJ5swrzqcIGdk3Smmei28nrX4LEkTR1JRtQIMcGKnwC263iVgfo5W5AddWxHmjYqDNZ/s320/P6141483.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Well it was another fantastic Frock Around the Clock event yesterday up at Malone House, all thanks to the wonderful Becky Moore and her team.

My magpie eyes could not comprehend the amount of delightful costume jewellery on show although it was a dress that really caught my eye in the end.</span><br /><div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Bought from the lovely Kelly McLean of ashby ladies and gents, the dress in question is black velvet with ruffled strappy shoulders and decorative ruffles at the back and front. It really takes the LBD to a new level - it gave me that Carrie Bradshaw feeling, which is why I now have said dress in my possession and a somewhat guilty feeling of hiding it in my closest and hoping it is not spotted until the moment I can justify buying it.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">As I was trying on the dress (hoping secretly it would not fit) in the hotel toilets I found myself surrounded by a collective amount of females doing exactly the same thing - perfect strangers but all bound by the love of finding something that makes you feel that little bit special. I have found that is what happens with vintage fashion especially at fairs such as Frock Around the Clock - here I found myself in a situation where I was talking to women I had never met before like I had known them for years. Everyone was giving their opinion on each others items of clothing, trusting their judgements, debating whether it was worth the money, complimenting what suits you etc. No one being vulgar or mean just a bunch of ladies having fun shopping - which is unlike anything you will find on the highstreet so if you have never been to a vintage fair I strongly recommend you give it a go because I can guarantee you'll not be disappointed and I hope you chose to visit Frock Around the Clock's bridal and evening wear fair on the 9th June (I personally can't wait).</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Picture</strong>: Better one to follow</span></div></div></div>fashionrevivalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00767597845661164325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931502106629597172.post-65627108619494220032010-05-07T08:58:00.000-07:002010-06-02T12:09:32.698-07:00A Moving Wardrobe<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEsk0BhVa5BRK8vzPPg6yMSLu7UjMWBxXPuTKuclIOCC6J4BgdjfBEQCtYoIOjti_-pOyUcPyhe8mJeAmFTh4Ptlgv-i_PHKniNM-64kVXBRQ_HvSvTFYONvyrAj2mkD1QznVGq9_h4Wjm/s1600/gucci+jacket+1.jpg"></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I recently heard this story from an elderly man on a bus, who had just returned back from cruise holiday in New York; there is an elderly widow who has lived on the cruise for a number of decades but has her clothes sprawled out all across the world and anytime she feels like getting off in a country she does and simply makes her way to her wardrobe.

Be sure to pick it up, and if it is your first time buying ELLE be prepared to fall in love like I did.</span></div><span style="font-family:times new roman;">P.S.
