Vinter Warmers

So here in England we all go really excited when, last month, we were all told that the "weather would stay warm till November!"

BEST NEWS EVER!

Well guess what... they lied. It's bloody freezing here!

In my last post I said that I have no inspiration for any posts and what not but this toe curlingly cold weather has given me the idea to do a post about vintage winter style and where to buy the best and most affordable vinter (no I'm not trying to do a German accent it's a mix between vintage and winter... I just made it up) wear.

However I have a feeling it will take me a bally long time because my internet provider doesn't care about me anymore as my current lack of internet would suggest. You'll be luck if you ever get to this post to be honest.

Anyway, I'll stop digressing and get on with it shall I...

 I don't know about any of you but when I think Vintage and Winter the three main things that spring to mind are wool, fur and hats, I love all three of those things but unless you can dress like these women here being vintage in winter can sometimes end up looking like grannies closet in winter and unless your grannie was Audrey Hepburn I don't think that's what we want.

I find that whem buying my vinter warmers it's best to get vintage inspired clothing or repo clothing because unless you've got the money to be buying the best its difficult to find true vintage winter clothes that are in good wearable quality.

Places such as eBay, Lindybop, Collectif, Vivien of Holloway, Hell Bunny and Asos.com are great for vintage repo and vintage style clothing that doesn't cost the earth (psst Collectif have an amazing sale on right now).

However this season my favorite cheap shop Primark have some amazing vintage style pieces that are great for winter, take a look....

 I'm definitely buying that coat!

When you put your vinter outfits together remember accessorizing is important to put those finishing vintage touches in place. A brooch on you cardigan/jumper, a beret or fur hat and small dainty (but warm) gloves always pull and outfit together nicely.

I know you'll all look georgus this coming season so till next time,

Hello!
I know its been a long time since I blogged but the truth is I just haven't been feeling it.
I still love vintage and collecting antiques but with my heavy work schedule and my new business taking off... I'm a makeup artist now!.. I just don't have the time to dress up, spend hours trying to take the perfect photo and write a post about it.
I really do miss blogging though and I miss all of you, my readers.
Truth be told I feel like I've lost myself a little, I've changed a lot, matured in lots of ways but I lost the motivation I had before for being artistic and creative with my dress and my blog.
Its truly sad times.

However with the new year approaching and resolutions coming back into fashion I am going to make one of my own... which I haven't done in a long time... and my resolution is this... to bring Laura Lou Vintage back to life with a new look and a new approach.
Vintage will always be a part of this blog but it's not the only thing I will be focusing on, I want to bring in aspects of beauty, my other interests like books, nature. I want it to be more personal instead of just about style.
I hope you will all support my in my new blogging adventures.

Till next time,
Laura Lou x
