My week in pictures


                                     Trip to Derby on Tuesday for a family photo-shoot

                                                         
                  Had a stroll around the shops, came across this cute teddy bear shop!

Recent purchases, turbie towel, seamed tights, red (ginger) hair dye
                                                       I love buying little things like these!



The view from my bedroom window one autumnal evening this week, my camera didn't do the amazing sunset justice!


              My beautiful new lace up boots, I've been wearing them non-stop since I bought them!


       Went on my own little trip to the college library this week to print off some work
 discovered they have an amazing range of fashion books, ended up taking some Coco Chanel ones home with me!

                                                   
                                                   I was practically alone aswell, perfect!
                                                                       (I love library's)

This is where i go every weekday, I love how its a listed/old building


  I'm current re-decorating my bedroom, I've tested out so many paint colours but finally came to the decision of having a mint green (which actually looks aqua now its on the walls)


Like my mug?

Photoshoot with my good friend Jess this week, this is one she took!


Hope you all had a lovely week, and a spooky Halloween weekend!
Will post pictures of my Halloween outfit and possibly pumkin carving tomorrow!

Love, Rachael

What I wear to DIY stores (yes really)

So I went to the DIY store the other day to pick out some paint and flooring for my new bedroom. Exciting! I went out earlier that morning very dressed down in nothing more than a men's shirt and cropped jeans and I felt so UN-comfortable and boring, because I literally over dress for everything, so I really felt out of place! I then came home and slipped on a pretty dress and petticoat and I felt much better, got a few funny looks while browsing for paint shades, (which I've got used to) but who cares? I don't :)




 I'm in love with these shoes, 4 English pounds! Mustard is becoming my new favourite colour.


  Trying to look discreetly sophisticated as a man on a bike rode past my house...



                                         1950's Dress: Baklash Vintage-£5
                                         Tweed Print Coat: H&M-£24.99 (I think)
                                         Leopard Print Cardigan: Primark (Got it 3 years ago!)
                                         Belt: Primark-£2
                                         Petticoat: Ebay
                                         Crochet gloves: Thrifted-£4
                                         Socks: Daddy's sock draw!
                                         Mustard Mary Jane Shoes: Charity Shop-£4
                                         Handbag: Thrifted-£1
                                         Hair ribbon: Haberdashery 50p (per metre)

Welcome to my blog!

Hello!

Welcome to vintageglamourfox. My name is Rachael and I love all things vintage and retro. I'm obsessed with the 40's and 50's and have been for a little over a year. I'm a vintage, shoe and fabric collector and Paloma lover and i intend to show you my love for all these things on this blog, whether it be outfit posts, recent finds or daily ponderings, you'll find it all here! I also have a YouTube channel..http://www.youtube.com/user/vintageglamourfox where i post tutorials for vintage hair styles, and make-up looks, outfit of the days, and much more. thanks for passing through! Lots of new posts to come, follow to see more!

Love,
Rachael X

p.s- just as a little fact about my blog name, the vintage glamour part is because I've always been obsessed with 50's vintage glamour and the fox part is based on my surname and a nickname that my friends mainly call me. So, voila! such a cheeky fact right?! xxxx
