As part of my journalism degree I had to create my very own magazine, it was quite simply the best assignment EVER! Naturally I chose fashion and in particular Liverpool vintage shopping as the topic. My beautiful friend Kate agreed to model whilst I had my first taste of fashion photography, (once I had taken the lens cap off) styling and creative directing at two fantastic vintage shops; Preserved vintage and Raiders Vintage both on Renshaw street.
Vintage is such a great way to create a one off look and the great thing about these outfits are that they all cost between £30 -£40! What a bargain!
The theme was chosen after one of my favourite books; Alice in
Wonderland which was easy given the abundance of trinkets and
treasures to find in the shops.
Hope you enjoy!
Raiders vintage: This patterned silk shirt is a dead ringer for the current Zara collection and the nude shorts give the illusion of longer legs especially paired with beige boots. Couldn't resist the straw hat either; perfect festival attire.
Raiders vintage: Peach is a universally flattering shade especially for those blessed with a tan (unlike me.) This is a perfect day dress and I am rather partial to the backpack trend being a child of the 90's especially when they look this chic.
Raiders vintage: I absolutely fell in love with these boots as soon as I saw them and had they been in my size I would have definitely snapped them up, luckily they were Kate's. Denim shorts are a style staple in any girl's wardrobe and the sequined top makes it perfect for a night with the girls.
Preserved vintage: One of the big trends that has been on the fashion radar for a while now is sheer fabrics, for those who dare why not pair two sheer pieces together. The conservative styling of the shirt and skirt stop it from becoming a threat to public decency but keep it sultry.
Preserved vintage: Spring/summer 2012 is all about the clashing prints and when it looks this good you can see why. The black top neutralises the super bright skirt making it easy to wear but still fun. This is the perfect ladylike outfit for lunch with the girls or a first date.
