The York Vintage Fair

So today (well yesterday, I realise it's after midnight) I went to The York Vintage Fair. It was set in the beautiful Guildhall off St. Helen's Square. At £1 for entry, it's worth every penny if you're looking for some great vintage pieces. There was everything from mens and womens garments, to comics and trinkets.

I have listed all the stalls below, all you have to do is click on the links under the business cards / images, each stall has their own page with the photo's I have taken.

Little Old Me	Itchycoo Vintage	Dorothy's Wardrobe
Bottle Green Vintage	Curious Cleo	Lui
Jeny & Amber	Minimum Mouse	Ikkonik Vintage
Lipstick Junkie	The Vintage Scene	SoBoho
Syd and Mallory	TwoPenny Lane	Pickle Pea
Un-named Stall	Un-named Stall	Un-named Stall

So there we have it! 

It was a great day, and I had a lovely walk around York afterwards, I feel so lucky to live here!

But it's bed time now, I have worked since I got in to get this up tonight, so I don't have the drama of getting the post ready like I did last week.

Hope you enjoyed it and I will see you soon!

EDIT: I realise some of the links were broken and I think my autofill changed my text to 'York Does Vintage' I apologise, this has now all been rectified.

Hello Cotton and Pinterest

Hey Guys!

Really short post today, still feeling ill so haven't really been up to doing much, even blog wise! Which means I really do feel crappy!

Anyway I thought I would just draw your attention to the buttons at the side of this post. I now have Pinterest and Hello Cotton, and you can follow Lucy's Lil World on both! I can't remember whether I said I now have Instagram so yeah you can follow me on there @LucysLilWorld.

So yeah, also my Blog Lovin' button looks a bit sad with a big 'ole '0' on there, so if someone could make my day and press that, I would be really happy!

Keep your eyes out for the York Vintage Fair post tomorrow, I just hope I am feeling better!

See you soon!

(P.S. there is also now a little 'Pin It' button on the bottom of each post)

(TFF) Patterned Leggings!

Good Evening!

Going to try and keep this short today, been feeling a bit poorly so it's going to be bath and bed for me shortly. I missed last week's Top Five Friday so I thought I better get back on track with one today. 

Now, as you can probably tell from my OOTD's, I like a good pattern. And one of my favourite ways to add pattern to my outfits is through my leggings. I didn't actually realise how many pairs of patterned leggings I had until I had a look for this post, (which is why a sneaky 6th pair ended up in the list), but I am pleased because no two are really that similar.

Anyway... bring on the leggings! Some were bought recently (Primark) some were over the last couple of years, and some were gifts, so I am unsure which are still available to buy. I would also add that the New Look ones are sheer, and are kind of like footless tights, but I would class them as leggings because of the fit.

Primark £6.00	Select £3.00	French Connection Outlet £5.00
New Look Sale I think around £5	Xmas Present 2 years ago (Ebay)	Irregular Choice (Xmas Present)

(the Irregular Choice pair 'appeared' after the original picture was taken, but I HAD to include them, I love love love the pink stripe!)

I found it hard to put these into an order, so interpret it how you will, I love all of these leggings a lot :)

So, the bf has popped a toad in the hole in the oven, then a nice hot bath and bed time I think, hopefully tomorrow I will have the energy to get on with my college assignment!

I hope my legging collection has inspired you to get some patterned leggings out and go wild! I like to wear them with big jumpers or cardigans. I also will wear plain, or patterned tops with them, depending on if I feel like clashing or not. No doubt you will see them in more OOTDs soon.

Anyway, time for dinner, hopefully will have time to post tomorrow, but if not it's The York Vintage Fair on Sunday, so, now I know how to format those posts, I should have something ready on Sunday night!

Until next time... :)

Photography + Fashion = Ness & Pepper

Afternoon everyone!

Quite a short post today, but I just had to draw your attention to these lovely scarves I came across on my Facebook browsing travels. 

These beautiful scarves are created by Vanessa Warren, an award winning photographer who has combined her photographic skills, with soft Chinese silks to create wearable photography. 

'Femininity and romanticism' are created through 'drapery and texture', and to me, this blend of photography and fashion is simply wonderful!

The images used are stunning; florals, space and dancers. I think these scarves are extremely wearable and boast a beautiful colour palette which could see you through every season. My favourites are Double Act and Amazon Lillies, bottom left and right respectively. The full image on the Double Act scarf depicts the movements of a dancer, and I think the colours of this piece are very dreamlike, and are perfect for this spring!

Prices start from £125, which, for something as unique as this, I think is quite reasonable. Each scarf comes gift wrapped in a box that can be used to store your scarf in, something as special as this needs looking after!

(WLW) March Glossy Box and Pretty Nails

Good Evening!

So I see that everyone has been enjoying the York Does Vintage post, and I am thrilled! I want to say thanks so much to everyone who has read, shared, commented and retweeted the post. It really does mean a lot.

So tonight I want to show you what came in this months Glossy Box: The Harrods Edition...

Booklet that came in the parcel

The first thing I pulled out of the box was this Shu Uemura cleansing beauty oil. I am interested in trying this, because I have heard good things about facial oils, but I am a bit worried about using them because I do have quite oily skin. This one claims to be a "3-in-1 cleanser, make-up remover and eye make-up remover, that leaves skin soft, balanced and non-oily." This time the Glossy Box card does not tell you how much a full size version of the product would be, so if I am impressed I will have to do some research.

Next is the SKII Skin Signature, an anti-aging moisturiser. Now, at 22, I don't really consider myself as old, but I am interested to give this a try. I just want to see if it makes any difference to my skin, so we'll see...

I am in love with this perfume! It smells beautiful. I am not sure how much a full size bottle of Valentina costs, but I am going to investigate, because I think this is gorgeous!

I am looking forward to giving this product a try. I am very attached to my Clinque mascara, and haven't used a different one in ages. But I am prepared to give this a try. 

I didn't get the Clarins products in the February box so I am pleased to see I have one this month. I like moisturisers so I am quite excited to try this, although I do have quite sensitive skin, and I find that some moisturisers sting me (yes I am that sensitive!). But I will let you know how I get on.

The smell of this Molton Brown Shower Gel is lovely. It says on the card that its filled with fruit extracts, but I think it smells more herby, like the Davines products in the January Box (I think?) I love receiving shower gels in my Glossy Box's :)

So there we have it for this month's Glossy Box. I am quite happy with it, I am slightly disappointed I didn't get a Burberry Lipstick, that I have seen in other boxes, but I am still happy with my lot.

On another note, I finally got round to painting my nails again the other night...

(the lighting is a bit pink because of her bedside lamp)

TopShop Mermaid with Sally Hansen Disco ball over the top on the ring fingers. This has already chipped a lot, I only painted them Monday. But I think that is my fault for using cuticle oil and not leaving it long enough before painting them. 

Finally it's time for Web-Link Wednesday, just got one this week. York University Vintage is a new group looking to set up a Vintage Society at York University. I think this is a great idea, I think promotion of vintage is a great thing, and gives people an alternative to the high street. It also gives the opportunity to be involved in events, other than the typical boozy student kind! I just really hope they decide to allow non-uni members!!

Anyway, that is it for tonight, I am feeling a bit rubbishy today so I think it's time for some sleep.

Until next time :)
