WHAT TO WEAR: Glastonbury Festival

25 June 2014


Blue Boho Dress £18
Mexican maxi skirt £150


It's that time of year again and Glastonbury is about to kick-start festival season into full swing! Not sure what to wear? Here are some great outfits to get you inspired. Perfect for that 70s Woodstock look!

They are all available to buy on my online shop, Vintage Owl Boutique, and what's more, if you sign-up to become a member you can start collecting reward points on items you buy. BONUS!!

My star buy would have to be the Mexican skirt. I've come across many beautiful Mexican circle skirts whilst hunting for vintage but I've never seen a maxi skirt before. The applique detail is AMAZING and is sure to turn heads!

What will you be wearing to festivals this year?

Big love,

New bits & bobs at Department

22 April 2012



1970s Maxi dress... fresh on shop floor.
Only £20!
Mr D and I made a little visit to Department with two big bags of stock and a couple of other nik naks today. It was a beautiful morning with Sunday browsers out at full force. 

The stall was in need of a spruce so Mr D got his duster out and made everything looked loved again. New on the rails are some lovely vintage maxi dresses and skirts (including this 1970s maxi dress!). Also, you can find some beautiful vintage fabrics and an old Singer sewing machine for sale. It has become a sewing enthusiasts dream down at the Basement at Department Flea Market!

We were in need of some new shelving so I turned  two vintage wooden crates into a shoe rack. These wooden crates came from an old apple farm, and not only are they great for storing things in but can be easily turned into unique and rustic shelving if stacked on top of each other. Our vintage shoes certainly look pretty in their new home.  

So, pop on down to Department Flea Market in Hove! It is a great little haven with some amazing sellers selling beautiful vintage treasures. Even Molly left with a little something today. A gorgeous Noddy toy from Hello! Vintage Kids. Her eyes turned into huge saucers when she saw him and I knew I had to get him for her. It's hard to turn down a bargain when it only costs £6!



So, ta ta for now!

Big love,

Molly cuddling Noddy. Thank you Hello! Vintage Kids!

Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 ready to wear collection...

10 January 2011

Marc Jacobs has definitely been inspired by the Seventies and the East in his Spring RTW 2011 collection. He has chosen beautiful bright colours and fabulous prints. I especially love the mixture of silk and satin and his ode to Missoni's zig-zag knitwear. I will definitely be getting myself a wide-brimmed straw hat this summer. I think they are fabulous and will look great with your summer wardrobe,  plus they really remind me of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver! This collection has definitely got me excited about Summer!
